Full Moon Party

I went to a full moon party on Saturday night on the beach in Kendwa- a beach about 2 km south of here. It was a crazy time. It's pretty hard to get there and even harder to get back so the night started with an adventure to make it to the beach. I was contemplating not going, but I missed the one in Thailand so decided to check this one out.

A group of about 8 of us bargained with a guy about the price to get us there and squished into a car. A lot of people took boats, but the cost was about the same and I wasn't going to get wet in a car. I did wear a bikini under my clothes because to get home many people walk along the beach and because the tide is pretty high you have to swim in some areas. I didn't bring any electronics or anything valuable so I could swim without worrying.

There were tons of people at the party- we danced, watched fire performers and acrobats, and chilled on the beach. Dancing was kind of crazy because the local guys were completely ridiculous and all over the girls. Not fun at all. We formed a protective circle with guys on the outside so we could dance in peace. The time flew by and I didn't trek home until about 4am (with friends, of course!). We started walking on the beach and prepared to jump in the water, but a Masai tribesman (recognizable by his clothes and piercings) offered to show us the way on the cliffs. I was pretty nervous and hid my remaining money and keys in my bikini for the trek. Everything turned out ok and we made it home safe and sound.

I'm happy that I finally made it to a full moon party. Unfortunately I didn't bring a camera, but I think some of my friends took pics.

Love and miss you!
