Today was another rainy day on Rai Lay island. It's rained, actually, it's poured NON STOP pretty much since we've gotten here. There's been a few breaks here & there but I've never seen it rain so hard & so consistently before in my life! Seriously, it's crazy. I woke up several times last night because of the rain & thunder. I was a bit terrified to say the least. But I'm okay! I think this is normal for this time of year I've just never seen anything like it! Monsoon season is crazy! & it's not even prime time yet. I think the main monsoon season is September to December or something so I'm glad I won't be here during that. Haha! Oh yeah, our phi phi island trip got cancelled. I'm SO sad. They said if it's better weather tomorrow we can go then. Buuuuuut I'm not counting on it. I really am kinda bummed about it. That's the main thing I wanted to do here in the south & I'm not gonna be able to. Oh well. So after we found out about that we kinda had a lazy morning in our hotel room cause there's not much you can do on this island with all this rain. Ha Abby fell asleep & I wanted to make the best out of my time here so I left & walked down the beach for a minute, got a mango smoothie, & then swam in the pool! It was so fun! I was literally the only soul out. There was no one on the beach & no one in the pool. It was actually a very cool experience for me. Sounds weird, but I just felt so content. It was POURING RAIN & I was all by myself. Just me in the water, getting splashed in the face from all directions. It was amazing actually. The only reason I got out was because I saw a huge palm tree branch fall off a tree & it freaked me out so I went back to the hotel room. lol! Later in the day Abby & I got a Thai massage. Let me tell you, this was a LEGIT Thai massage. The last one we got in Chiangmai was very professional, with real massage tables & all. But this one was a liiiiiiittle bit different. I almost liked it more. I just laid down on a mat on the floor & the lady went crazy! I didn't know my body could pop so much! It felt amazing! She was seriously sitting on me at some points, using her feet & whole body to manipulate mine. I was trying not to laugh out loud at some points. I just couldn't help myself it was too funny! Anyways, that was a great time. Oh & it was only 8 bucks for an hour, score!
