The Mac's have arrive

After an uneventful but sleepless long 2 flights we landed in the beautiful Koh Samui early morning and already it's very hot. The baggage carousels were in a beautiful thatched hut. Yes, we have arrived in paradise. After the shuttle to our gorgeous hotel and checking in complete with complementary cool wet cloths and unknown juice we crashed in our air conditioned room for a couple of hours before venturing out to check out the resort. We quickly decided a swim in the resort pool was a must to cool down. A gorgeous dinner at the resort restaurant by the beach and a walk along the beach after dinner was stunning then back to the room to crash

Day 2 saw us venture out beyond the walls of the resort to the local fishermans village. Where we took some photos of interesting places as you can see on Pete's fb Should've realized that venturing out in the heat of the day was not wise. Oh well we did it. It certainly was a eye opener for us, only one guy tried to con us but we had his measure. Decided after a few hours of mingling with the locals in the humidity I was in need of cooling off in the pool. We ventured back to the fishermans village for dinner and found the streets full of market stalls people and even some ladyboy performers. Had the best Phad Thai that I can remember and Pete had some very hot duck. Even had the waitress very amused with how hot it was she gave Pete a cool towel and put the fans on us. Back to the bar for a few drinks then back to our room.

Day 3 - today - is our wedding anniversay and will be our chill-out day. Just back from a late breakfast, we have massages booked for midday then off for a swim this afternoon. Tonight is theme night at the restaurant with traditional Thai food and dancing so we are looking forward to that.

Tomorrow is our elephant trek so will check in later to let you all know how that went

So la gon for now
