new island new cottage

important things 1st - the baby mentioned in the comment on the last post is my new grandnephew - congrats Sabrina, glad everyone is doing well!
on our last full day on Samui we took a day trip to Ang Thong National Park. About an hour by speedboat to a series of islands. Beautiful. Did some snorkellng, kayaking and hiking. Dumped Monique into the ocean at end of kayak trip. The ride back was pretty rough, probably 8 to 10 foot swells in a speedboat. Surprised no one was sick.
next day took ferry to Koh Tao, a smaller island that is a big diving destination. roads are a challenge (cabs are all 4 wheel drive trucks) but the scenery is amazing. And good snorkelling from the beach in front of our hotel. we look out on Shark Island but so far have seen no sharks.
could say a bunch more but connection is slow and keyboardis terrible so until later..
