Silver beach again, then stopped at a Yoga resort with gorgeous lookout and had Charne's super food smoothie bowl. Nice but not worth the money. View made it worth it

Home to shower and then headed to Coco Tam's at Fisherman's Village, Bophut Beach, a high end Italian restaurant on the beach. So gorgeous and viby. And the food was great.

Spent the morning tanning by the hotel pool. Off to Starbucks for their caramel fruppucino.
Then drive to Waterfall 2. Not a lot of water so not really worth the trip. Saw more ellies in captivity so that was heartbreaking. Babies too.
Stopped at the Beach bar Club at Chaweng Noi Beach and the girls had a swim. Gorgeous.Read more

Our favorite beach on Samui. Such a blessing the time we spent as a foursome, floating in the water, singing random songs that we all tried to harmonise to. Special memories. And this is where I did my sand moves that I'll be mocked for for years to comeRead more

Ferried to koh samui and booked in to Casa De Mar on the northern end of chaweng Beach.
Nice hotel but a bit far from chaweng main area. Hired a scooter.
Embarrassed to say that after 2 weeks in Thailand we were craving burgers and headed for Mc Ds.
In the evening had massages and then dropped Charne at night food market. Not worth going to so to supper at A&Bs. Nothing remarkableRead more

Drove to waterfall. Jeep blew up on the way. Smoke everywhere. Stuck on the side of the road by an elephant tourist attraction where ellies chained by their feet to the ground. Heartbreaking. People paying to pet them. Could see their anguish.
Got new car and headed for waterfall. Had a lovely swim in the pools. Nardus almost lived on the wild side and skinny dipped. But, sadly, some other people arrived and destroyed things :(Read more
And your stomachs still holding!
The pork skewer was risky! I thought of Coleen while the woman was rolling the raw pork into the skewers with her hands and then braaing over a grid at a little stall on the street. Lol. Methinks C may have given a skip :). Prob the best food I've tasted this holiday
Delighted to share with you we went to the local village outside the resort for dinner! Tanja, Fran and Colleen had curry, and I went with prawns again and was not disappointed! Portions just very small so breakfast tomorrow at hotel will be a heavy one! Safe flight back! Blessings!
