Seafrog snorkeling

It's an early start and I'm glad I was alcohol free last night apart from the one cocktail I had. I reach the dive shop at just after 7 and I'm ecstatic because I've managed to get a coffee on route. Flo has kindly said he will try and sneak me and Tilly in without paying the park fee pretending we are staff which saves us 500 baht each. Chris has also kindly volunteered to accompany us snorkeling which is a massive bonus as he knows where to go and what to look out for. At the first dive site the fish are spectacular really and although we don't see any sharks or turtles we do see barracudas and blowfish. We take dinner just off Maya bay and as the guys jump off the side of the boat I use the slow motion on my camera to get the action shot. We take the boat around to the other bay and within a few minutes of being in the water I see a shark and a turtle. It's magical and I sometimes think that you see more snorkeling than diving because you are concentrating so hard on the breathing that you can't look around with ease and a lot of the sealife will stay closer to the surface. We arrive back at 130 and it's definitely beer o clock. We get on the beers so early when out of nowhere I hear my name being called. I can't believe my eyes when I see my son James on the beach. I love these boys so much and he tells me Henry is in the room. We spend a short time catching up and I suggest I should meet them at the viewpoint to surprise him. Later in the afternoon the weather turns and the storm blows in. The viewpoint is definitely out of the question but I take myself to the slinkys to enjoy watching it with a beer. I meet Tilly in atom and enjoy the most amazing gnocchi before doing our usual bar crawl. As I'm sat in freedom bar Henry and James join me and we have a proper catch up about all we've been up to. We arrive at cottage bar and I love the music here, a little more old school than techno and a bit of an older crowd. A bunch of Irish people and as im playing beer pong the one guy is literally barging people out of the way to get to the table. When he does he looks like he's doing muay Thai rather than beer pong so I leave him to it. I dance the night away ending up in stones bar. I can't believe it when I ask the time and it's 5am , I honestly only think it's 1am. Time for bed I think.Leggi altro
