The world according to Felicia.

The next mountain was Khao Hin Lek Fai. Hin Lek Fai means flint stone. Hin is stone, lek is iron and fai is fire. I didn’t see any flint stones up there, but that is what it is called. This mountain is “behind” the city. You go over the railway and then just straight. The road up is very steep. We saw one car that couldn’t make it to the top. Not enough power. It is that steep.

Anyhow, when we reached the carpark at the summit, I had made my usual business, so dad had to change my diaper in the car. That was a little bit strange, as the car seat is like sloaping so I was sliding down all the time. But he managed in the end. Then I was ready to go again.
On the left, I am just re-diaped. Is that a word? Then, on the second and third we are at the nearest view point. We didn’t go any further, because the walkway was a little bit hard on my stroller. But it is a very nice view over Hua Hin from up there. You see all the way to the sea, and also to that other mountain we went to earlier that day.

Then it was time to leave. It was getting dark and it was very windy up there. After this Flint Mountain we went to the new mall they have in Hua Hin. Mom and Dad had to eat. In the evening it was time for my first visit to the beach. I tell you later.

I have been lazy for a very long time now. And when my laziness disappeared, my dad couldn’t help me, because he got occupied with other, more important things.

But now we are back, both of us. We have been on holiday. In Hua Hin. That is about 2,5 hours south of Bangkok. By the sea. We stayed there for 3 nights. That was very nice. I love to travel. To see new things.

Everybody thinks my parents are crazy to go away with me like that. When I am not even 2 months old. But I like it. I like to see new things. It gets boring to just stay at home all the time.

I won’t brake. I am small, but not that fragile. I am rather strong actually. I can almost stand up already. OK, not by myself, but with some help from dad.

Anyway. We went to Hua Hin. Just outside town, to the south, there’s a mountain with a lot of monkeys. It’s called Khao Takiap. Khao means mountain. Takiap means chop sticks. That is sticks they use to eat noodles. The mountain didn’t look like chop sticks at all. And I didn’t see any noodles either. Strange.

We saw many monkeys though. But my dad walked very fast past the place where most of them were. He was scared that they would jump into my stroller. They didn’t.

We had to go to Khao Takiap because my mom likes Kuan Im. That is some old chinese lady. She is dead now, but they have a big, BIG statue of her at the noodle mountain… eh, chop stick mountain.

I didn’t go up there to look at her. Me and dad stayed downstairs to look at the view of the sea.

Here I am, in my stroller, at Khao Takiap, in Hua Hin, not looking at Jao Mae Kuan Im. Waiting for mom to finish whatever it was she was doing at the statue.

It was very, very hot up here, so we didn’t stay long. Had to go back to the hotel and eat a little bit, then we continued to another mountain. Without monkeys. I tell you about that soon. Now I have to take a shower. See ya!
