The Trip

Everything was in order: the bus-to-boat (they actually preferred the train, but they booked 2 months too late), boat-to-pier and pier-to-resort transfers, to and fro. The bus ride was convenient enough, except when a young couple started smooching loudly in front of them. Sally snorted, "oooh, why NOW when we're traveling WITHOUT boy friends?!?" Joanne couldn't help but laugh. If it weren't for their mp3's, they wouldn't have enjoyed a good night's sleep.

After a 9-hour bus ride, an hour wait at the pier, a 3-hour ferry ride and a 20-minute tuktuk ride, the 2 friends arrived at the resort. They were both pleased -- everything looked exactly like the pictures online.
