The Andaman Sunflower Resort & Spa Ko Lanta

... Its not the money, it's the principle. I tell ya, these touristy places will charge you for anything! You want to inhale in a shop? Baht. I'm surprised they don't try and sell my own sh*t (plus mozzies) back to me, then charge me again for throwing it away...
On the subject of sh*t I needed one so I went to the nearby toilet. As soon as I opened the shack door I thought 'This is more like real Thailand'. The toilet (the old porcelain hole in the floor ...

... tunnels to paddle through
and Bryden and I along with 2 others in another kayak were the only
ones to brave it. Once we had finished exploring the headland we
headed to the outer most part of the island where we started to
paddle around the island. After about 20 mins of continuous paddling
we discovered that it is actually a much larger island then we
thought so we turned around and headed back. We found a small beach
at the other entrance to the bay and were ...

... pas top non plus). Bon finalement pas de jogging mais j'ai passé la journée entre le bain de piscine, le bain de plage (les deux se trouvant à quelques mètres) puis douche et transat à la piscine et lecture. Oh trop chaud quelques minutes après, bon rebellote ! c'était vraiment top. J'ai nagé toute la journée. Je me suis pris un lassi à la fraise et celui ci était très bon. J'ai pris quelques photos de cette ...

... tons of fish just swimming by and doing their thing. Awesome!
We did 2 dives and were underwater for 91 minutes in total. We saw all sorts but most memorable was the Jellyfish (because I saw it first and pointed it out {with sounds and everything!} to Shirley and Vicky, but since their back was facing me {I was following them} they couldn't see me {or hear me!}). We saw loads of Clown fish (Nemo's) and even a tortoise! The ...

... knows of any paralegal etc jobs available then please let us know... Hope you are all doing well, we are off to the beach now to soak up the sun :) See you (increasingly) soon H & L - - - Koh Lanta on (nimestaan huolimatta) paratiisimainen saari, mista loytyy upeita hiekkarantoja, ystavallisia paikallisia ja toinen toistaan parempia ja kasittamattona edullisia ruokapaikkoja. Myoskaan saassa ei ole valittamista - aurinko ...

... New Year's with not a clue where to go. A very kind lady who was traveling alone gave us some tips and advice and told us how much to expect to pay. The taxi driver dropped everyone off except for Alan, myself and the lady and then told us he knew of a place where we might get accommodation as he knew a lot of places were booked out. He brought us to the Lanta Pearl Beach Resort. Luckily for us a family had canceled their rooms and there were two rooms free, one for 600 Baht and ...

... goods they purchase. Of course, that takes exceptional skill and should be compensated accordingly. After we had a laugh from that experience, we walked further to find the entrance to the Viewpoint Peak and walked to the top. We got these fantastic pictures of the bay - both sides of it. Luckily, we were up there when it wasn't raining and got some fantastic shots. It had been raining off and on during our stay but we got a great panoramic shot of the island which was postcard-worthy.

... to today. We've booked another two hour massage at Sri Lanta for later as a Christmas present too each other. Nice.

Pen has turned into a radiant sun-Goddess....she's a pretty golden brown. Mama-you'll be happy to know that I continue to be the sunSCREEN-Goddess clinging to the shade & I stay true to my white-girl roots. Although Mother-Sea did give me a mysterious rash yesterday....I call it sea itch from my days in the Caribbean. It's darn sexy.
