Got the scooter again today as decided as our last day to see a bit more of the island. Also bens flippers yesterday were a bit too tight so he is now without skin on most of his toes is unable to walk very far (ben wrote the last bit, he has a few blisters) He looks like he got some weird infection all over his feet (because he has applied loads of plasters!)

We headed to the north of the island to a beach called Mae haad beach. This is a narrow piece of sand connecting the mainland to a little island, it's was lovely to see but unfortunately there seemed to be a lot of rubbish in the beach! We think everything washes up their after it rains.

We had a back and shoulder massage on the beach- and this one I really enjoyed! It was lovely!

After a quick dip in the sea and dry off we hoped back on the scooter and headed east to coral bay.

When we got to the beach there was only one other couple there and was a pretty little bay. The weather was nice but there was some clouds- which was a welcome relief when sunbathing!

There was a little beach bar just off the beach, they had loads of friendly dogs- all different sizes and a massive pig! It was huge and very inquisitive.

When we were sunbathed out- which actually was quite quickly, we went back to our bungalow for showers and change. Then took the scooter down to the night market for dinner

We had pad Thai and octopus and chicken skewers, they were really good! They had loads of different looking fruits and veg there, including giant peas in a pod and giant durian fruits which are apparently so smelly when cut open they are banned in Singapore transport stations!

When we came back to our bungalow a dog followed us back to the porch and would not go, repeatedly banging his tail on the window. He sat guarding our door most of the night!

There was a thunderstorm tonight too, hope it clear up for our travels on the boat tomorrow!Lue lisää
