Rock Climbing in Raleiy Beach, Krabi

After a week on Phi Phi, we reluctantly left for Krabi. We stayed in Ao Nang, which was just OK. On our last day there we went rock climbing at nearby Raleiy beach. We were actually going to give it a miss - so glad we didn't. It was great.

There was a great sense of relief and achievement every time I reached the top of a climb. even though we were well secured to the rope, there's still that fear of falling which gets the adrenaline pumping. To give us a good grip on the rocks, the climbing shoes we were wearing were uncomfortably tight...they did give a great grip on the rock though.

Can't really make myself and Noel out in this pic. It's probably a good things - the sweat was literally rolling off us from the climbing. It was so nice to be able to dive into the sea just after to cool down...although the water's so warm, it didn't have as much as an effect as a similar dive in Dublin Bay in February.
