Koh Lanta continues

For over two weeks, we shared a rental complex with our Alberta friends. There was much living back and forth: meals, video game sessions, partaking of sourdough bread and tea, etc. The boys often went from one apartment to the other through their bedroom windows. The neighbourhood monkeys often shared the same route along the wall!

It was wonderful for the boys to have one another and so much freedom on the island. They would walk together to the beach, take muy thai (Thai kickboxing) classes, get smoothies or head to the convenience store, etc.

Sadly, Mathai had an ear infection as a result from catching the flu on Samui. So, snorkeling was not in the cards for him. Susanna and Judah joined Zack and Jaidee on a boat trip to explore the underwater life. We saw morays, a sea snake, lion fish, and lots of fish we couldn’t name. Like all previous snorkels since the Komodo Islands, it was nice, but not extraordinary. We were spoiled with the sea life in Indonesia.

One of the key ways we travelled around Koh Lanta was with a rented scooter. Susanna was much more comfortable now than she was during first weeks scooter driving in Koh Lanta, but still very cautious. So, she always said no when the boys asked to drive. Aaron supported the boys to build scooter driving skills by carefully mentoring and monitoring them. They LOVED to drive the scooter. And, did it quite well.Read more
