1327 stairs

We were ready for the next installment of our adventure, having spent the past few days surrounded by Brits, so we were excited, more than sad, to be moving on from our island paradise.

We journeyed back, with one of those Brits - Ade - to the Krabi Province, this time to the Town of Krab, where we decided to take advantage of our afternoon and see a the "Tiger Cave" a temple where a single monk has as many shrines to himself as to Buddha in the temple. The temple is in the side of a mountain, and there is a cave inside it which looks like a tiger or a tiger's paw or something... We went in to have a look, but if there was a tiger-something there, but we couldn't make it out.

There were loads of monkeys at the base of the mountain, and there was a very tall staircase, leading up to a giant buddha at the top. There were a few buddhas up there, actually, and on the way up there was a terrific statue that looked a bit like a Buddha-Santa-Tarzan cross.

What was amazing actually, were some beetles and moths that we found at the top of the mountain.

And those stairs, if you go there, suck, they're a killer.
