Thailand 9 Nov

 Darryl had gone for a beach walk when I woke up. The next 4 photos are some of what he saw.

This was one of the now abandoned buildings on the beach. 

I looked after the kids while Shane and Jess took River for his bandage. We played snakes & ladders, and went for a swim.

When the water in the pool is so still it makes for very architectural reflections

Where-ever there is an injured animal, Skyla is there to the rescue. This time she found a praying mantis. They caught insects to feed it.

Darryl was tired after his long walk, so he wasn't really watching the kids swimming...

We went for a walk for lunch and ate at the Rabbit Restaurant. The dishes were very tasty.

The whole street was being dug up as they were putting in new pipes.

It made it 'interesting' at times getting to the restaurants.

The smallest mosque I've ever seen

A cute millepede

In the evening Darryl slept while I spent time with family and washed clothes.

Thailand 8 Nov

Another lovely day

We packed up and had a transfer at noon from Ao Nang to Sai Naam. 

We had a nice van with a quiet driver. I read to the kids until they went to sleep, then napped myself. 

It is a special festival, (candles on the water), and an eclipse. Funnily it turned out our accommodation is basically on top of each other, (even though we had booked through entirely different systems). Jess and Shane on floor 3, and we are below them on ground. 

Straight out the door for a swim

The view from the upstairs apartment

The beach is rocky but picturesque. 

The view from the beach. Our complex is behind this one.

We were treated to some lightning. Darryl went to sleep and growled at me when I tried to wake him for the sunset and eclipse and dinner, so when he woke too late (my photos didn't turn out). I had tinned tuna in mayo with olives and cheese and a glass of wine.
