Travel Diary of an Austrian girl/ Reisetagebuch einer Österreicherin - Thailand #8: Lets go for a walk on the beach/ Lasst uns am Strand spazieren gehen (EN/ DE)

just go and stretch your legs when walking...

Today I'm recording my first long walk on Koh Phangan (Thailand). I set off from a café. This is why it is marked on the screenshot. My turning point to walk back was OXA Beach.

On the way back I missed the first opportunity to walk up from the beach to the road, yes, I was daydreaming and a bit lost in thought or thoughtless (?) on the way. Well, it wasn't a drama, because it was a wonderful walk, almost a kind of walking meditation, because at times I really hadn't thought a thought. Which is rather rare for an over-thinker like me. The way back took about 45 minutes. So it was a meditative ~ 90 minutes that I walked under the sun with the wind in my hair and salt on my skin (from the ocean). The nature here is simply gorgeous. The rock formations are also very interesting. I'm certainly not an archaeologist or anything like that, but I find it very fascinating. I walked this way at low tide. Hm, when the water comes up again, it becomes very difficult to get through in some places. You have to be careful. But now enough of my words, which have sprung from a fleeting thought. The pictures speak for themselves, I think. I hope you enjoy the view as much as I did. I am delighted to not only capture this moment in my travel diary, but also to be able to share it with you, the dear Hive community.

einfach mal die Beine vertreten gehen...

Heute halte ich hier meinen ersten längeren Spaziergang auf Koh Phangan (Thailand) fest. Ich lief von einem Café los. Somit ist dieses auf dem Screenshot markiert. Mein Wendepunkt um zurück zu laufen war der OXA Beach.

Auf dem Rückweg hatte ich die erste Möglichkeit vom Strand hoch zu laufen zur Straße verpasst, jaja, war am Tagträumen und etwas gedankenversunken oder gedankenlos (?) unterwegs.

Nun, es war kein Drama, denn es war ein wundervoller Spaziergang, fast schon eine Art Geh-Meditation, denn teils hatte ich wirklich keine Gedanken gedacht. Was für eine Überdenkerin, wie ich es bin, eher seltener vorkommt. Der Rückweg dauerte circa etwas mehr wie 45 Minuten. Somit waren es meditaive ~ 90 Minuten, welche ich unter der Sonne mit Wind im Haar und Salz auf der Haut (vom Ozean) vor mich hinschritt.

Die Natur hier ist einfach traumhaft. Auch die Felsformationen sind sehr interessant. Ich bin sicherlich keine Archäologin oder sowas, doch finde ich es sehr faszinierend. Ich bin bei Ebbe hier lang gelaufen. Hm, wenn das Wasser wieder hochkommt, dann wird es an manchen Stellen sehr schwierig durchzukommen. Da sollte man aufpassen.

Doch nun genug meiner Worte, welche einem flüchtigen Gedanken entsprungen sind. Die Bilder sprechen für sich, denke ich. Ich hoffe ihr genießt den Ausblick so wie ich es tat. Ich freue mich vom Herzen diesen Moment nicht nur in meinem Reise-Tagebuch festzuhalten, sondern auch mit euch der werten Hive Gemeinde teilen zu dürfen.

But now on to... Here are my photos and impressions.

Aber nun auf auf... Hier meine Fotos und Eindrücke.

I woke up because my cat alarm was "ringing" around 6 am in the morning... Jup, play time. Let's destroy the box.

Yeah, after freaking out it's time to relax again... I see!

After getting up finally and ready a friend of mine came over for breakfast. And yes, we had mashed potatoes. Hahaha. Delicious. The bread was from a French bakery the street down. Some other stuff I organized at 6:30 am, because 7eleven opens at 6 am here.

A nice, powerful and delicious breakfast. After cleaning up I went out around 7 am.

The view from my Terrasse.

Nature is blooming and growing here. Jungle garden.

Some dogs on my way, friendly ones.

I didn't photographed the way to the beach, just started with it when I finally arrived. Now let's walk down to OXA. Ready? Lets go.

I turned to the left and walked straight along the ocean.

The view was incredible and peaceful.

This spot looked cool and relaxed too. But I wanted to walk a bit, so I went on.

As you see, low tide.

Sweet, isn't it? A hidden beach village.

I love how the stones, rocks, hills and all that looks here.

Castaway... Joking. But this boat gives a kind of "lost in paradise" vibes. Isn't it?

Interesting formations.

It's a surreal world I am in. Hahah, fits perfectly. Like my name says.

Of course, all the beach bars and restaurants are still closed. They don't open so early in the morning.

That's a great idea one location had. Hammocks are perfect for that place.

Here is my new relax and meditation spot I think. I stayed around here for an our.

Time to go back.

Time get's timeless.
