OK, it's offical - the New Year has turned us into beached whales! While most people's New Years Resolutions includes getting back into the gym - our's is quite the opposite. We have been lounging in some pretty outstanding places over the past week or so. We spent several days on the small island of Koh Samui at a resort right on the beach where we kayaked daily and worked on our 'base tans'. From there we flew to Phuket and hunkered down for several days on Kata Beach which has been our favourite beach so far. Huge waves that allow for wicked body boarding and surfing, pearl white sand for just as far as you can see and the hot sun from 7:00 until 6:00 everyday. We actually feel like we're in paradise. While we thought we'd hate Phuket we actually love it. We rented a scooter which gets us to any of the surrounding beaches or attractions and the roads are truly outstanding. Riding here is amazing but the road either goes straight up or straight down....mountain bikes would be much easier. Oh well, no complaints.
Today we took a boat from Phuket to Ko Phi Phi Don which is an absolute masterpiece. While its more crowded than we like, the water is the clearest yet and the views are breathtaking. Tomorrow we're zipping over to Koh Phi Phi Lay which is where the movie "The Beach" was filmed...supposed to trump this place. We're excited. We've found a kayak to rent and we'll also get some snorkelling gear and make our way into one of the many, many secluded bays (with beaches) and make a day of it.
All in all, we're having a great time and maxmizing our VACATION! Look forward to sharing some of the funny side stories when we get back!
Adios
