Nepal Bungee and Beaches!

We finished out Nepal with a.... JUMP! We bungee jumped off a suspension bridge spanning a 500 ft valley. It was terrifying but so exhilarating. We both did something called a "bungee swing" which is bungee but in the seated position and allows for a longer free-fall (6 seconds). Matt did the normal bungee as well. The shock of actually leaving that platform to fall into empty space still is with us a week later. YouTube "Last Resort Bungee Nepal" for some good videos of what we  did. 


500 ft. drop. Supposedly the 3rd highest bungee in the world...


Now we are in Thailand, in particular, on the unreal island of Ko Phi Phi. The waters are crystal-clear turquoise blue and sheer rock faces jut out into the ocean. We have been beach bums for the past few days, soaking up much needed sun and relaxation. Today we went on a snorkeling trip on a long boat to the surreal Ko Phi Ley.

Not sure what our plans are next. Feels nice. Most likely we will visit a few more islands both on the Andaman   coast and on the Gulf of Thailand. We might also cross the border into Malaysia for a week or so. 

Our bungalow is the one on the left... we were the only ones at this resort.  Paradise.
