A great day of snorkeling!! We booked a trip on a boat for a 4 island tour of snorkeling. Today ended up being a bit overcast and windy so a good day to be face down in the water. Contrary to popular belief, you can get sunburned through clouds; that or the sun came out when I was swimmin' with the fishes. Either way, both of us have the classic snorkeling sunburn . . . let's just say it hurts a bit to sit! Lots of cool fish to see though and it felt good to do some real swimming not just wading out of head-desperation. We had a delicious lunch on the boat and some good "I'm feeling a little seasick" napping on life-vests. Tonight is movie night at a bar up the street from our hotel so we'll be lounging and movie watching. We're both so sun-drained that lying on a mat and watching a movie is about all we can manage.
Koh Chaing is beautiful and the sunsets are wonderful but I think a place a bit less touristy next.
It's odd to walk back to our little hut on the ocean past half a dozen bars blasting Bob Marley, offering authentic Thai tatoos or showing The Simpsons - not that I don't love The Simpsons and Bob.
