Nothing, or how to make a coconut smoothie

For: Juan Ignacio Sánchez

I will not say that choosing a beach in Thailand is the most bitter of work, but it has not been an easy task. This country of green mountains and lush forests has, especially, offer overwhelming sea. If you want to dive, debes ir a Ko Tao –Ko significa isla en tai-, where barely survive some of the most spectacular coral reefs. If you're looking to date the bash of your life from alcohol and other drugs and disco, your fate es the Full Moon Party Ko Phagnan. If you are seeking a mix of sightseeing and relaxation, you should go to Ko-pee and visit the beach where Leonardo di Caprio recorded film of the same name ...

We were looking for a quiet place away from the masses, and, as always, following the advice of someone who told us that someone told him that somewhere there was a little known island, nos fuimos a Ko-Lanta, turquoise water whose shores face the Indian Ocean and seem to promise an endless source of adventures to those who dare to delve into them.

I will write peace dived sea of ​​silence, long walks watching feet sunk in the water, the melting pot of colors of a sunset over the ocean

The story of this week can hurt the sensitivities of the least generous, so I recommend those who do not continue reading, and wait for other days you will not write insurance for peace of silence dived sea, long walks watching feet sunk in the water, the melting pot of colors of a sunset over the ocean. The story of Koh-Lanta week has to do with the dreams that are fulfilled, is about finding that place where we have so often ones escape, and is sometimes the other side of the eyes and sometimes within oneself.

Koh-Lanta has been a time dedicated to the enjoyment of the senses and feelings. It was a leisurely breakfast, a dinner of fresh fish to the sea, calm conversation, one lengthen the hours reclining in a hammock reading the book for you never had time. When that happens, when time, for once, is so abundant that it costs to fill it up with as, without realizing you fall into a sweet nothing in which you can spend, and did you hear, over half an hour to look at how the type of the juiciest snack bar made smoothies, or like lizards lurk on rooftops, with lights, until they eat the mosquitoes awkward ecstatic with fluorescent. And the best part is that you do not feel guilty, because you have not left anything to do.

One day we rented a motorbike, and visited with the most lost her corner of the island. A mangrove in which are bred in captivity all kinds of fish and seafood, a national park whose doors we received a family of monkeys wanting to play chase bikes (bone say something: when you see so, so closely and so free, as teaching you the fangs closer to its territory, they're scary), the old town of a village frozen in time and in whose port the fishermen and villagers are bought and sold fish to water newly stolen ...

Back're so impressed that you almost do not strange to see a lot of cars and motorcycles stops because an elephant has decided to cross the road around. Koh-Lanta, having, Hold on, the largest colony of Swedes to be the smartest in the country, who have learned to take refuge here from the harsh winters of their- and more than enough tourist infrastructure-indeed, that since the tsunami have learned their lesson and have shelters built in height distributed each 500 meters ..., still preserves some of the wildest charms you can enjoy one fledgling tourist city.

And ends. We have been here a week, and visa runs. We want more adventures, want more countries. We want more cultures, and more schools, and disparate people here and there. The next destination is Phnom Phem, mysterious capital of Cambodia, the country where sadly, Not long ago, there was a major genocidos of history, the Khmer Rouge of Pol Pot, and now struggle to erase the memory of the loss of more than two million compatriots ... A struggle that contributes the invaluable help of Western dollars in the form of tourism. Let, as, to collaborate, while we filled the eyes of a new reality.
