28 AprilProbably one of the best days I'll remember. We were picked up by Stuart at 07h30 in front of our guesthouse and drove to Au Nang where his little oasis was located. Stuart had bought a piece of land between the limestone cliffs in one of the most scenic parts we have seen and constructed a lake of 500m long and 200m wide, 8m maximum depth. He had filled the lake with species such as Mekong Catfish growing 120 kg, Arapama, Red tail catfish, Siamese Carp ...

27 AprilToday was one of those Saturday mornings where one sleeps late, waking up every 30 minutes but opting to role over and sleep again, except it was a Monday.

No they did, we just slept through one and the other was set for 18h15! 10 minutes to shower, shave, get dressed and head for the door where our transport was waiting. 08h02 I'm at the door but our bus has already left thinking we did not pitch for our already paid tour, I call the company and within 15 minutes the driver stops to pick...

24 AprilWe sleep in late just to recover from the previous days mayhem before heading over to a tourist agency to find out some information about what she would advise we do with our time, to make sure there weren't sights we were not aware of.
