life on an island named KOH TAO


what an opening photo! this monster (literally) had a little 'something something' going on with our bathroom and refused to leave! even when one splashed it with h2o, it merely lapped it up! animal! clearly, it is/ was well fed on mosis or some larger-than-life species -



happy and tanned! rare to be so brown these days -




koh tao is the smallest of three islands, west of chumphon. we stayed in a "dive resort" with a private beach (named freedom beach - let your imaginations run wild) around the corner. it was like a dream. every morning waking up to the sound of the (crystal clear) ocean and the sea breeze. no words can describe it and no pictures can do it justice. seb went diving twice and i dreamed the day away on the white sand. needless to say, one got quite excited by the sun (and its powerful rays) and got alittle too tanned alittle too quickly. tee hee.
and voilà; this is the view from out balcony. and around the corner was 'freedom beach'. many an sunset was admired with our sun downers of maekong and coke.
