Ko Samet - Half Term
Hi there! Now realised I can only do a few photos for this to work - so even though there are millions to choose from - here is the massively abridged version! We went to Ko Samet for 3 nights and stayed in a fab little bamboo hut with superb view (photo on facebook album!) Bartered with a lady for the girls to swap inflatables all day - they have now grown gills and prefer the sea to land!
This is family Lazenbury at Vongduen Beach on Ko Samet - it was wonderful! (as long as we had long trousers for mossies!)
Vongduen again - this is where we had lunch a couple of times - it is a hard life at times! Ian has taken to eating Khao Phad Gai - chicken fried rice at every meal - needless to say he remains in the same peak physical condition! Girls OD'd on fruit shakes - mainly pineapple which are awesome! I nearly killed myself with spicy Papaya Salad - even asking for it only a little spicy even my nose when red with the chilli - and I had to admit defeat!
On our last evening we went out on a squid fishing boat which was great fun - little scary to begin with as we were on deck chairs on the top deck and there were no sides to the boat, but soon got used to it - we were in a sky of purple - the sunset was awesome and felt like we were in a purple blanket! Totally rubbish at squid fishing and caught nothing - but luckily the fishermen were better at it with their nets so we got to eat the freshest squid ever and Amber discovered she loves rice soup!!!
Poppy's School Trip this week, started with a walk in the 'mountains' followed by a view of Pattaya then off to the beach for lunch at Birds and Bees - a very hot day but a great outing!
