Operation Koh Samui.

We had another hefty travel day coming here and when we heard that it was by overnight coach we weren't too keen! However this was no ordinary bus this was pinked up luxury coach. The seats were wider here (and pink) so Euan didn't sweat on me this time, pink silk curtains and a lovely comfy red neck pillow thing! I managed to sleep for a reasonable amount of time, Euan however well you can never please him! We then caught a ferry to Koh Samui then a Songthaew to the hotel.

After enjoying some tasty Thai food (ensuring you all that we don't constantly eat Mickie D's) Euan, Jess and I headed for the beach! Sea was super, hot and lovely and scenery was stunning! In the evening we enjoyed some more Thai food and some cocktails. However it was no where near as good as Mini Bar man.

Yesterday Euan and I headed on a tour round part of the island. We saw a giant happy buddha, a giant gold buddha, rocks in the shape of male and female genitals (we have got some tasteful pictures of this), a mummified monk, a monkey show and a waterfall. Let me explain the rocks. They were indeed in the shape of a penis (willy, firemans pole) and a vagina (twat, foo foo, snapper). In fact there were two willies with different shapes (use your imagination). These rocks were made naturally I kid you not. The Mummified monk was a monk who died when meditating and has now been preserved in the same position. Its rather strange. It was an interesting morning and have seen things that we may never forget. It rained for the rest of yesterday so we ate and played connect 4 (Euan is a terrible cheat).

Last night we decided to sample some of the local fish as we are on an island. It was a bit more expensive (1090 baht) but the meal was delicious. We went to a BBQ restaurant where Euan and Jess shared a meat platter which contained two steaks, two tiger prawns, two racks of ribs, two pork chops and two chicken legs. Mim and I shared the seafood platter which contained two tiger prawns, two crabs, a red snapper, two squid and a handful of clams and mussels. Our plates also had corn on the cob, salad and roasted tatties and we received a free glass of wine. It was absolutely scrumptious. All of it was eaten.

Today has been a lazy day as we are preparing for a marathon journey to Penang.

Love to all. Hope everyone is well and missing us. xxxxxxxxxxxxx
