Aother day - Sunday, Koh Samui, Thailand! It was raining when we arrived, is now raining as we prepare to depart!!! But has been mainly fine and humid during the day. We were tendered off the ship & as we had no plans decided to share a mini bus with two others, Margaret & Richard, from Yorkshire. Left the port just after 9am, - cost about $20 each from the port to the beach area Chaweng Beach (a 40 minute drive) and the driver waited for us until 3 pm for the return to the ship. Margaret & I enjoyed some retail therapy although she has more to show than I do. Being a beach area there wasn't much to interest me, rubbish really, but there were some good handbag shops which is where Margaret spent her money. We dipped our feet in the ocean to cool down & while standing there a guy came along with a monkey - I thought I had got a pic but he wanted 100 baht & moved the monkey before I prssed the button!!We did find a very good restaurant for lunch and I'm pleased to say I've satisfied my need for some authentic Thai food - Tom Yum soup and a deep fried spicy fish which was excellent!!! Washed down with a beer.
Back at the port we had to wait a while but finally got on a tender and now enjoying a gin & tonic in our room.
