Day 11: Another Gorgeous Day on the Beach

Another day trying to recover from my food poising incident... We
decided to take it easy and chill on the beach again today. Before I
go any further I must tell you that I checked the ingredients on the
soy milk I had on that fateful day and surprise surprise... The
ingredients read: "soybeans, whole milk, sugar"!!! (it might help to
know that I'm allergic to dairy!) I guess big food poising mystery
solved-OUCH!

So off we went on our motor bike to Lamai beach. Out first stop was to
a beach side resort, spa and restaurant that specialized in healthful,
nutritious and Ayurvedic foods (Frommers reccomended)... Not so fun
for Jon, but I was in heaven (especially after not eating for 2 days!)
We chilled and ate for a bit till we hit the beach. I relaxed on a
beach with a coconut full of watery goodness in hand, while Jon rented
a jetski. On our way back from the beach we decided to stop at the
same place we had eaten earlier for another healthful bite (what a
trooper he is :)) Oh yeah and the food was actually delicious and best
of all Thai priced... Not Island priced!

Now back at our cabana relaxing, napping and swimming.

Live music on fisherman's warf later...

And Ko Tao tomorrow to visit some friends we made while in Chiang Mai!

Day 10: Sick & Thai-erd

Ugh what a day... I'll avoid going into any detail but we stayed in
our gorgeous cabana today watching movies and eating bananas and toast
all day. It was a much needed "day off" after Jon got torched by the
sun yesterday and well... Me spending the better part of the night
SICCKKKK!

So unlike the other days... This was our view :)

Food Poisoning...

No idea what I ate ,but food poisoning for a night activity isn't fun!
Our other choice was to chill in the red light district... Hummm Ida
know what's worse? lol. A bit better now. Stickin to just rive for a
bit :)

Sorry of that was a TMI :)

Incredible beach day!

We spent the day at Chaweng beach and beautiful it was. Perfect
weather and emerald water made for one of the most memorable days of
vacation I remember. We then got on the bike and trucked up to the
islands highest point for the ultimate view of the entire place.
Sunburnt and worn out we went home for a snack and some rest so we can
properly celebrate the Chinese New Year, and Valentine's Day. Layta!

Beach front lunch...

Day 9: Waking up in Paradise

Nothin like waking up, making yourself a cup of tea and siting out on
the porch in the sun... If you havent tried it, I reccomend it! This
is the house we rented on Koh Samui...and of course our motor bike!

Day 8: Thaim to Chill

Been chilling on Koh Samui driving around on a motor bike that we
rented for the week. Grabbed a bite to eat on fisherman's wharf and
then drove around the whole island to scope out our next move. Just
got back from a midnight outting to Tesco in search for snacks... And
we found em! A full grocery cart later we finally buy our groceries
(for some deliciously small amount of money, including a supply of
booze) make it out to the car park where we then realize... Oh yeah we
have a scooter HA! so I strap em on to my arms and between us, and we
begin our journey back to our house. (which I'll tell you about
later). We finally make it back (I won't go into how we made the wrong
turn out of tesco and went the wrong way for about 15 minutes... ;)) I
wish I had taken a picture of everything we were carrying but I don't
think I could have held anything any longer!

Oh did I mention they sell gasoline by the liter glass bottle on the
side of the road for a dollar?!? Ha

Ok now back to our house. Most of the resorts here on Koh Samui have
beach and oceanfront bungalow huts but because of the Chinese new year
everything had been booked in advance... So we don't have an ocean
view but it's pretty close! We ended up with our own cabana resort
house! A few rooms, kitchen, new bath and a balcony! Not too shabby!
Now if only Thailand would hop on the "posture-pedic" train, we'd be
golden!
