An ideal wedding? - Krabi, January 19, 2007

After a four hour boat ride and a bit of bus travelling, I landed on the other side of southern Thailand in Krabi - a laid back town with friendly people - perfect for planning my next leg of the journey up the Adaman Coast. I'm now officially "brown as a baked bean" after lounging on the boat under the direct sun and chatting with a very sweet couple from Holland.

Ralph and Yammy (my Dutch friends) are also on a 1-year trek through Southeast Asia and have already "hit" some of the areas I plan to go next. They will end their year by getting married on the Cook Islands - no family, no friends, just a very intimate ceremony on one of the most beautiful islands in the South Pacific. They have it all worked out - she even ordered her dress in Vietnam and had it shipped to the Cook Islands. Sounds perfect - doesn't it? Also, I figure there is no better test of a relationship -- if at the end of a year of travelling together, you still love each other, then you're meant to be!!
