Relaxing beach time

After having two busy days doing activities and getting up early we decided that our last day on Koh Samui should be spent by relaxing. We set no alarms and had an amazing lie in before getting geared in our swimming stuff ready to hit the beach. We walked around the town trying to find a place I had seen that do good breakfasts but unfortunately it seems that this bakery no longer exists. We then discovered the town had a power cut so a lot of shops were shut. The convenience stores were open and we did a little shopping in the dark here. We headed back to the restuarant linked to our hotel that's on the beach front and found that they could still cook most items on the breakfast list. It wasn't the best fry up and it was missing the beans that they said they couldn't make but it was a welcome comfort when we haven't had more than snacks or toast for breakfast in so long. Afterwards we set up on the loungers outside our hotel. We stayed there a little while trying to read our books but there was a large family of around 12 people behind us making lots of noise and it was rather distracting so we decided to move further down the beach to another set of loungers. We had remembered our goggles so we enjoyed going in the sea twice to see the fish swimming in the shallows. After chilling there for a good few hours we walked away from our hotel to the next beach past two areas of rocks on the hunt for rock pools. We did find a few and saw some fish as well as many crabs. We even found a secluded area in the rocks where the water was so clear you could see all the fish below while walking around in it. We had a great time exploring the shore line before heading back and walking up to where we have ate a couple of times now as it's cheap and their fresh fruit juices are actually fresh fruit! You'd be surprised how many aren't. We watched the sky transform as the sun set on the other side of the island and as we left the sky was filled with hundreds of stars. Luckily we used our phone torch to light up the sand while walking past as Nick discovered we walked inches away from a large 5 inch knife blade that was just on the sand. We disposed of it but we're left shocked that anyone would even own that and then feel it's okay to leave it on the beach. We headed back to pack up our things ready for our ferry tomorrow. A much needed day of relaxing indeed.Read more
