Land in Phuket at 9.30 am and ask myself through the travel information places until I find one that would give me the infos I want.
Grab a taxi and the guy drives me straight to where the bus for Krabi is about to leave. Perfect timing. Jump in and squeeze in with all the locals.
That's what I loooove about traveling too. Probably weird, but I am so happy that very moment and can't stop sitting there and smile even though I just had about 14 hours of traveling on my back.
Sleeping and talking to the girl sitting next to me makes the bus ride pass pretty fast.
I get off in Krabi and jump into a mini bus to leave for Koh Lanta Yai.
Had already called Bertus*, so when I get off at Koh Lanta, he and Ben (the other group leader), are already waiting for me.
* I met Bertus when I was traveling South Africa 2007.
He was touring around with friends and played his music at backpackers.

2008 I traveled the Philippines with a friend and since Bertus was leading a FREE & EASY group there, we met him again. Getting to know another great leader (Adam Korkitt) and the founder of FREE & EASY (Curtis Smith, awesome guy as far as I got to know him), we got to learn what those trips would be like. So this year I decided to be part of one of those groups and meet up for the third time with that funny South-African-guitar--party-and-ocean-loving-"mop-like-head". At least for some time of that travel.

SO always make sure, you meet new people on your trip. It might take you places you didn't think of before. :)
