| Walking Street, Ao Nang Thailand |

Woke up early in search of a good cup o’joe and we find it
after a short search. Fresh brewed with
real milk and cheap…..Perfect! Upon our
return to the hotel, I intercept an email from Lee and Sarah saying they are heading
our way. We are looking forward to
heading to the beach today and making our own comparisons to Koh Tao….we are
positively certain it will not measure up to the most wonderful beach (our
opinion) in Thailand. We email back to
Sarah and Lee and inform them of where we will be on the beach and head out to
breakfast. We find a nice, but expensive
restaurant and enjoy a very filling meal

Monkey see......

prior to donning our bathing
suits. The day is hot and humid and a
dip in the water will do us just fine.
We walk down the long stretch of sand to the far left-hand side of the
cove and notice a group of people
 |
Monkey do!
|
standing around and upon closer inspection,
we notice there is a group of monkeys playing and fighting near a small
walkway. We watch the drama unfold and
then find a place to set down all of our stuff on the beach. Shortly thereafter, we are met by our
friends. Sarah has quite the sunburn and
opts to sit and guard on the beach while Lee jumps in the tepid water with
us. We float about for a long time
before hitting the shore for a lunch break.
There are any number of nice little beach front huts serving reasonably priced
food. We have a little this n that and
return to the beach to frolic in the surf.
Toward the late afternoon, we walk back into town and make plans to meet
up for dinner later on. We return to our
hotel to get cleaned up and back downstairs for our meeting time. We venture up the main avenue, winding among
the night vendors until we find a long street with a hand-painted sign and an
arrow pointing toward a “family” restaurant.
We are a family…..so we give it a go and it turns out to have something
for everyone on their very comprehensive menu.
We settle down at a very large table and enjoy a lovely meal together. After dinner, we flock to the Seven 11 for
our ubiquitous Mento run….this is becoming habit forming. We stock up on a substantial amount and share
them all around before calling it a night and heading home. We hope to meet again tomorrow and possibly
share a boat out to one of the nearby islands for sun, swimming and snorkeling!
