Boats, planes and automobiles....

So our time on the islands is coming to an end.... Until we sneak back in for our sailing trip in March.
Is it our humanness that when we have to let go of something we like it and want it even more?
I have been excited to get more "cultural" but now that it's ending, I want to walk the beach over and over again and am sad to leave that unique blue of the water that cries out to be painted.

The winds picked up again on our last day and Brad thought it would be fun to go on a hike to a waterfall close by.  Of course we waited till late morning so we could catch the full heat that Thailand has to offer.
Well the sun and heat has dried up the waterfall and Brad was able to climb right  to where it would be strongest only to dip his toe into a shallow pool. His only company being a floating dead lizard.
We did work up an appetite and enjoyed chilling in a pub that serves up some great reggae music and marijuana smoke along with yummy food.

Early morning start back along the roller coast road, to the ferry and to the prettiest airport you ever did see on the island of Koh Samui.  I felt like I was in disneyland with its streets, flowers, cleanliness, water features, tram for passengers to get to their gates where each area has comfy seating, free food and drinks...   The transition from beaches to the big city of Chiang Mai (population 1,000,000) has just been made easier.
Good bye Koh Phangan.  Chiang Mai here we come.  And thank you Brad for paying extra so our trip takes six hours not 36 via train....


Brad the conqueror and best dad ever!

Did you ever wonder where those coconut shells went after you had your drink.
Well we found a couple of final resting places on our hike to the falls.


Couldn't resist one more picture of Anna doing her thing!

View of our amazing beach.

Quick bite at 7 am before getting on the morning ferry.

Great lounge spots all throughout the airport.
