Ballers on a budget (Ton Sai)

Well we are here finally in tonsai after a one hour flight and being packed in a bus for way to long with no air circulation. After wondering around Ao Nang for a couple we hopped on a long tail boat for the 15min ride to tonsai. we stumbled across a nice guy from BC who was telling us that there wasnt a lot of rooms left in the area. worried we stumbled up to what BC mike said was a place he thought was ok. we found a room for fairly cheap and after a couple nights we got our host Sin to give us a good deal. we have a shower, toilet, and sink (however the standards of these would deter most people reading this blog... Alison) We have electric, but it comes and goes with the massive generators in the area. The food is cheap and our favorite meal so far is breakfast, sticky rice with bananas or mango. Now thats tasty!!! and at only 40Baht thats about $1.25 Our first person hanging out with was ironically from Utah and had worked for a wilderness therapy program. Apparently after that job you need to decompress halfway around the world. Now the climbing!!! and it is fantastic. the limestone is some of the most featured and crazy looking rock ive ever seen. tufas and stalactites everywhere and the walls are overhung so we are getting a workout climbing these steep and alien features. We are getting up early, around 6am to climb before the sun hits the beach because after its there no one dare climb. so we eat lunch and then laying in the hammock for a nap until either a evening session of climbing or dinner and walking around the beach. Not too much nightlife here which is good because its less of a temptation to drink beer and blow our daily budget. so most nights its bed by 10 and get ready for the morning session. as a matter of fact, its past my bedtime. tomorrow we attack a route called Lion King where the route description talks more about hitting ledges and breaking legs more than the climb itself. good thing we are a big deal. thats all folks.
