Day 67 Money Maker

I was at the climbing office by 09.00 and I have to admit that the 3 hours that followed were 3 hours of sweat strain and success. I climbed grades that I thought I wouldn't have been able to as it has been a long time since I last climbed, the hardest climb (Money Maker) was a grade 6b+ and it certainly pushed me to my limit. I got a couple of cut knuckles, a blister on one finger and 10 very sore toes (only women and climbers where shoes too small for them). After a shower and a swim it was time to leave Railay. The long-tail dropped me in Ao Nang where I was picked up by a minibus then dropped at a travel agency then picked up by a car, transferred to another minibus then drove round picking up more passengers. It was 19.30, 5 hours after setting off, when I finally arrived in Koh Lanta, the largest of the southern islands. My accomodation was a bungalow, just a stones throw away from the beach. A meal was provided where I got chatting to 4 lads from Guernsey with whom I spent the rest of the evening just hanging out with.
