Kayaking in the Ao Thalene mangroves

This was probably the toughest thing we did all trip. Jackie and I may make beautiful music together (literally. Our parents used to make us do duets on the piano and violin), but we can't kayak together worth a dime. We were tired and miserable and the English couple on our tour had to constantly wait for us.

Luckily, after lunch, our guide offered to share a tri-yak with us and, pride be damned, we took him up on it. Even better, he mentioned that only one of us could paddle at a time. The English couple said we had to see the look of open-mouthed joy we gave each other.

Pretty mangroves.
