November 7, 2014 - Leaving Phuket and heading to the bat cave

The place we stayed, Sea Pine Villas, was perfect!  Very traditional and had a wonderful energy!  Breakfast was nice with fresh fruit, eggs of your choice, and coffee.  There was a lovely stream running though it with flowers all around.  Cheri enjoyed making images.  





We headed for the airport, cleared security and ran in Marianne and Hans again; one final goodbye for now.  

The plane was right on schedule!!  We landed and our luggage was first off the plane and the driver was waiting!  Yeah – we had a chance to make the flight of 2 million bats!

We made good time and our guide Ta Ta was waiting for us at the Khoa Yai Cottages where we would spend the night.  We dropped the luggage, made a pit stop and headed to the bat cave!

As promised, two million bats made their way into the darkening evening skies. What a sight to see!!  They literally stream out of the cave in these huge long lines, flowing with the wind currents, making patterns in the sky.  We watched until it was too dark to see the bats.




Ta Ta dropped us off at Thai restaurant that was in walking distance of our hotel, good since we didn’t have a car.  The food was good and cost all of $8 for dinner for two!


We got back to the hotel and crashed.  The bed was hard as a rock….another less than perfect sleep.

Enjoy!
Cheri & John
