Koh Lanta
Today our blog isn’t about what we did, but it’s about what we really enjoyed here today. The ocean, the beach, the climate and the food. Food includes mango smoothies, passion fruit ice cream and beer. Also the people. The people here are really friendly.
After our breakfast we got the real world stuff done which includes booking places to stay and scouting out things to do, paying bills etc. We made a couple Skype phone calls home before we took off for the day.
The beach was cool with clouds until mid afternoon and then the clouds thinned out.
We used our air mattresses on the water to float around and keep cool. We love the water and especially the surf temperature which is warmer than you could imagine unless you are here.
The surf temp is 28.8 C but in the shallow water it is over 30 C. We floated around on the air mattresses and never really did get cold. We alternated between the shade and the water. Once again the sand is too hot to stand on where its dry you need to skip fast to the edge of the water.
We walked down the street for supper and ended a long way down from our hotel. We looked at menus along the way but after the ice cream (actually sorbet) we weren’t as hungry so just walked around sight seeing a bit longer. We walked from the street to the beach and checked out some beach front places to eat. We settled on Han’s Bungalows and Restaurant. Neither one of us could finish our meals, They were good but we ate dessert before the main course. Blame the sorbet.
Enjoy the pictures that we took today. The sunset was pretty while we were eating supper on the beach.
