broken bones, broken dreams

Hey all, this is the moment you have all been waiting for, the first epic of the trip

the day started off well, kinda well.

After a scary tuk-tuk ride in the rain we managed to catch up with an a/ced bus that took us to Chumporn (chum-pawn, not chum-porn).  we got there at 2:00 and decided that we would take a 6 hour midnight boat o KohTao (local island) instead of paying an extra $6 and taking a faster speed boat.  So we chiled at a bar for a bit then around 7:00 went off to try to find a night market for food.  Here is where the epic begins.  While walking in the rain, aja tripped over a chunk of metal in the ground and bailed hard.  She ripped her pants, cut a couple big gouges in her leg and her 2nd last toe was pointing at a 45 degree angle.

hmm.... that's probaly not good we thought

so after a couple seconds of freakin out she popped in back into place and we hobbled back to the bar.

She was in quite a bit of pain and we both werén't looking foreward to spending th enight on an unconvered boat in the pouring rain.  so we decided to spend th enight and got a cheap room for only 100 baht ($3)

here's another problem, it is saturday, the banks are closed, and we don''t have any money

hmmmmm......that's probaly not good either

so we managed to convince the owner to start us a tab and then we would pay them tomorrow when we found a currency exchange.

after a couple big beer to drown our misery, we crashed hard in bed

woke up the next morning, we may have started off witha  beer but i can't remember, paid our bill, caught a pick up truck to the ferry and it was all good....kinda
