Koh Samed Beach

Well it was a long drive from SIngburi to catch the ferry to Koh Samed (5 hours) but at least it was done in the luxury air conditioned van and we did stop and KFC for lunch - a bit of a come down from the food we're used to - I didn't like fast food then and I don't like it now!!

Had to virtually jump across the water to get on to the boat which is a mean feat with 2 bags and a rucksack, but I played the old dear again and someone passed the rucksack over.

Koh Samed is beautiful - white sand beaches and turquoise sea and hot sun. There are lots of 'wildlife' from the sea too - little crabs - jelly fish - lots of dogs (again!!)

Had dinner by moonlight on the beach and the food from the hotel was amazing. Have strolled along the beach in the night which reminded me of Yas in Corfu!!

It is truly nice to relax here - quite a few tourists but apparently not that many compared to the main season so am grateful for that.

May not have much to tell you over the next week as I'll be lying on a beach, reading and soaking up the sun.

Will be going on a boat trip on wednesday so may have some news then.

Internet here is much more expensive than the mainland.
SPeak to you soon

Love SUe xxxxxxxx
