seaflower and a bus mishap...

oh man oh man.
we are back safe and sound at seaflower on koh phangan.
this place is as ricidulously awesome as last time and the weather is perfect.
the 12 hours bus ride was smooth like butter except for a tragic accident that we saw the end of.
our bus pulled up next to a parked bus with a motorbike crushed under the front tire and a thai man in worse shape under the front. i won't go into details but it was messy. i wish i wouldn't have looked down as we passed...a vision that i won't soon forget. poor man.
we did arrive safely however, 12 hours on a bus that arrived in Surathani at 5 am, and we sat and waited for our boat to leave at 8 am. 4 hours later we arrived in paradise.
seaflower hasn't changed a bit, but the drive up is completely different...it's paved for one, and there's a 7-11 a couple doors down! yuck! the worst part is the massive resort that popped up at the end of seaflower's driveway...replacing the lady boy-owned internet shop and the two sweet fuirt cart ladies! gonezo.
finally after 3 years i was reunited with the food at seaflower and it tasted exactly as i remembered!
a few of the workers remembered me and were thrilled to see me back!
hmm what else?
we have two hammocks on our porch, new books to read and my skin is almost casper-like again so i'm gone like the wind.
love love love
