Not a bad day at all - had little sleep again with paranoia of bugs and lizards - think we are getting better though thank god for the mosquito net as it gives us some comfort. Clearly not cut out for this "shack life". We headed off for a stroll along the beach finding swanky seaside bungalows, the hotel has its own beautiful large wooden restaurant on the beach with a big wooden swing and the hosts are so accommodating they even leave out mats for us to sunbat...

We woke up around 10am Matt headed out to pick up a scooter and our laundry that we left for washing at Ameresa hotel (lizard house), Jacq started packing up. Matt arrived back having been told by Ameresa we didn't give the key back in all our haste the night before and the washing was being held to ransom, fortunately the key was found and we rescued our shorts and pants from the clutches of the lizard people. We loaded the scooter, and I mean loaded, with two...

What a day - sorry for the delay in blogging but this day was a challenge!!!

They seemed friendly enough but when they escorted us ...

The colour and scale of these gleaming Buddha's is so unreal, every time we see one we are as impressed as if it were the very first time. Fan island is beautiful with a huge Buddha perched on the top of a massive stairway - the golden decor everywhere is so beautiful, it's surreal like nothing you'd ...

We got up around 9am shattered but adamant to make the most of the stay. We jumped on our scooter and headed down the coast in search of Laem Yai which is a circular stretch of beach that sticks out on the west side of the island. As we drove along we realised the "to scale map" was deceiving and we'd gone too far, so having noticed signs to a waterfall we decided to investigate. The drive to the unnamed falls along the Wat Khonsu route was beautiful - all jungl...
