Happy Little Christmas everyone!
It's been a really wet new year so far ..we're getting the brunt end of a storm which passed over the Philippines and it's been torrential rain for the past 36 hours ...flooding and water up to a meter in Chalok and Sairee. The run off into the ocean has been horrible. We went diving yesterday and the first couple of meters was like diving in mud, you couldn't see a thing but below that was fine, 5-8 meters.
Early evening with facebook video's / reports that some roads had been closed, water too deep and rapid like, we didn't even attempt to ride the bikes. I think it was around 8.30 when the rain seemed to ease, we headed home. We were shocked at the force and the depth of the water in some parts. It's a good job that we live up in the hills.
The next morning, after a heavy night of rain we spent most of the time indoors only venturing out to see what chaos the rain had caused and to collect our bike / motorbike from Crystal.
The pictures below are from our journey into Crystal.
The weather is supposed to clear by Monday. Even though it's still raining outside, it does look a lot brighter :-D
