We are having a week of 'rest and recuperation' on the Island of Koh Phangan. Everyone is doing their own thing and have booked into various parts of the island. Julia and I and 5 others have all opted for Cyana Beach which is just up the coast from the harbour. We have a lovely bungallow looking out to sea, the food is great and well priced and they have a pool! Having settled in to this small part of heaven we took ourselves off in to town and all hired scooters (including Julia). Some had never ridden before so a fair bit of wobbling going on. No need for a driving license or insurance etc, just get on and ride off. As long as you avoid the pot holes and loose sand you will be fine!! Having said that by day 2, two of our ladies had managed to fall off at low speed creating various cuts and bruises but nothing fatal.
The other suprise on this small laid back island is that it has a small Tescos, time to stock up on tea bags.
The weather was perfect every day so, having purchased a snorkel we spent the week going from one fantastic beach to the next followed by great Thai currys.
The week came to an end and it was like back to school when we all met at the harbour for the fast ferry. The next few days saw long hours in mini buses as we drove out of Thailand, in to Malaysia and hopping onto an aeroplane to take us to Sumatra.
