Anne and Doug had mentioned
THE GIBBON REHABILITATION PROJECT
at our dinner together.
So John and I jumped in a tuc tuc,
kept our fingers crossed that we would make it
up all the steep hills,
("I think I can, I think I can" became our mantra!)
and managed to arrive safe and sound at our destination!
We had a darling Australian tour guide
who explained how the project rehabs endangered gibbons.
It was delightful watching the obviously content gibbons
calling out to each and swinging
through the trees!
We maneuvered some steep climbing to
finally reach
THE BANGPAE WATERFALL!
(What an accomplishment that was!)
Then back to
PATONG BEACH
for another delicious seaside lunch,
some hugs by an adorable child vendor,
who convinced us to buy this beautiful
handmade flower necklace,
and where John purchased yet another
pair of unneeded sunglasses!
After lunch, we drove around
PATONG
taking in all of the sights
and, of course, a lady boy or two!
(Can you even believe it?)
We enjoyed a delicious dinner
with great entertainment,
awesome seafood,
wonderful wine,
fabulous fruit dessert,
and another great Thai massage!
HaHa.....
ya gotta love
PATONG BEACH...
(read the sign carefully)
...it's definitely where the
ACTION is!
