The last few days have been exciting, tiring, and new. We said goodbye to some very close friends, and got on a plane to Abu Dhabi. The boat we stayed on almost sank. We crashed into our neighbouring boat. We took a 6 hour plane to Bangkok, and today we ate the best food I ever remember putting in my mouth.
I know you are probably wondering about our boat almost sinking. Well, my dad woke up to use the bathroom and noticed the boat was tilted, so he got out of bed and woke up the captain. The captain discovered a leak down where the engine is. They rapidly started the engines and BANG, into the dock, then CRASH, into another boat. As soon as that happened everyone woke up. It was crazy, my dad was grumpy, the captain was yelling at everyone, and my sister was chatting on her phone, my mom was on her computer and I was watching all that was going on. Captain drove us to the beach so that we couldn't capsize so soon. Then he called the marine people and they showed up in their fancy shoes and suits and refused to get wet, except one, who was a huge help. After we finally fixed that problem at, maybe 3:30, and every one was happy, until they found another problem. It took a while then to fix that too. However we had to leave at 5:00 to the airport and leave the captain to do all the paper work, and dealing with the owner of the boat, and the owner of the boat we broke. The picture below is of the boat we crashed into.
Tomorrow we head up to northern Thailand to volunteer at an elephant sanctuary! (Remember to subscribe!)
