Lots of tents close together, but luckily we were some of the only people camping here for the two nights. The nice thing was that the tent was literally 10 meters from high tide. Jeff found some time to relax in the Eno in the shade for a break from the tropical heat. It is hot season here right now, meaning that it is often 40 celsius with over 80% humidity.

When the tide is up and the sun is out, the water is such a beautiful turquoise. I also just love the different Thai boats we see wherever we go around Thailand, especially the wooden long tails.

Nice 3K paddle this evening, ten minutes from home, a nice escape in a huge, hot city

Weeknight fun - off to a teaching conference for the next three days

Training for my first half marathon, 8 weeks away. This means I will be doing evening runs after work a couple times a week, not just my weekend jaunts. This reservoir has a 4K paved bike track around it that I usually ride, but today I ran the peninsulas, and tomorrow hubs and our teenager are going kayaking out there.

This is the mountain (hill?) with the 80 meter cave which we respelled into. It is a short hike from camp.

The view from top of the mountain, so basically standing on the cave. Looking across at some of the great climbing routes across the river.
