Koh Samui

After some pretty intense days emotionally or physically in Saigon and Bangkok, today was a day of pure fun, with monkeys, elephants, waterfalls and rubber trees. We tendered ashore to Koh Samui, Thailand and rode on a Jeep to a rubber tree farm. We learned how they harvest rubber and process it. Then it was on to the elephants and monkeys. We watched trained monkeys harvest coconuts, and then we rode on an elephant through the rain forest. A visit to a beautiful waterfall completed our excursion before we tendered back to the ship. Tonight we say good bye to more of our crew members who are getting off in Singapore. Tomorrow is a sea day that will be much appreciated. Day 99 of our trip is coming to a close.Read more
