Koh Lanta - Last day on this Island
The picture above is fresh squeezed orange juice. It tasted so much better than it looked!
Today, Sunday we took the day off. We rested. Can you believe that? We went for several walks, the first before breakfast the second long walk after supper. We read, did some hotel reviews on Trip Advisor and hotels.com. We also paid our MasterCard bill, which includes matching the invoices up to the statement. That stuff all takes time. It’s comforting to know that we spent less money in the past month, and no money at Costco.
Tomorrow we are getting picked up at 9:50 – 10 am and heading to Saladan Pier where we will take the speed boat ferry to Koh Lipe, a distance of about 120 km which takes about 3 hours.
We got our last stamp on our ice cream card which got us a free serving. We both had passion fruit sorbet. Gary has fallen madly in love with passion fruit! Linda’s not so crazy about it but still enjoys it. Even the sorbet has the little seeds in it which remind us of pomegranates but much more tangy. Neither of us had ever eaten passion fruit before this trip where we stumbled across it in Vietnam. Raw passion fruit is 73% water, 22% carbohydrates, 2% protein and 0.7% fat. In a 100 gram amount, fresh passion fruit contains 36% of the Daily Value of vitamin C, 42% dietary fiber, plus B vitamins riboflavin and niacin, iron and phosphorus. It not only tastes good, it is GOOD for you!
Other interesting did bits, our custom made clothing made it home on February 7. It had been several places on the way home too.
Tomorrow, speed boat ferry, then 10 days on a deserted island. We have internet but we’re not sure how good the service will be. To avoid disappointment don’t expect too many pictures until we get to Malaysia on Feb 23. Don’t forget you can subscribe to notifications on our blog.

Stay warm everyone back home. Just for the record its now -31°C with the balmy -39°C windchill in Saskatoon.
Looks good and sounds yummy! Sun burns? I wish(:
Linda/Gary,
Looks like your trip is going well. We are still in Arizona and decided to purchase a park model for our next trips down south. We don’t get the unit until the season is over in March but that’s OK as I didn’t want to pay for both my trailer and the park model at the same time. We got a chance to see Jim and Deb awhile back and will get to see them again before heading home. Glad we are here longer as there is 26″ of snow at my place now!!!
