Key West

After the incredible ride on the overseas highway, we reached Key West, just in time to catch one of the most amazing sunsets we have seen:

And to enjoy the so-called "Sunset celebration" that followed:

The next day Gulliver took us to the Southernmost point of continental US (the second Southernmost point within a year after Sentosa) posing for a picture with his belly still full from all the Cuban food from the restaurant last night (see his belly sticking out under his shirt?)

We continued the day with an adrenalin-packed, 2h jet-ski tour around Key West, experiencing both the smooth surface of the waters of the Golf of Mexico and the rough "Mother Atlantic".

Arrival to Phuket Island

After a week of sightseeing in SE ASIA and two, extremly hot days in Kuala Lumpur, we started to look forward very much to have some rest and spend the next day by just lying on a nice, sunny beach of Phuket Island. We have chosen to stay in Kata, which has a beautiful, but quiter and less crowded beach than, for instance, Patong (the most popular resort of Phuket island, famous for its nightlife).

In Kata we have found a friendly guest house owned by a Norvegian guy who, several years ago decided (just by traveling around the world) that he wished to spend the rest of his life in the Land of Smiles - so he sold everything he had in Norway and moved to Phuket Island. Now he owns a small guest house and a restaurant and he seems to be very happy with his life ...and he does everything to make his guests happy, too.

We enjoyed a lot the friedly atmosphere of the guest house - however, we did not spend too much time in Kata, as we decided to visit two national parks around Phuket: Khao Sok and Phang Nga Bay (see relating blog entries) on the following days.
