| Island Hopping |
| Meg and I are well. We enjoyed Koh Chang and some of its hidden spots.
We also visited a nearby island called Koh Maak. Its was quite nice, we splurged for a bungalow that overhung the ocean and had a nice hot shower.
We returned to Koh Chang to start heading West, but unfotuntely, i got sick for two days so was out of comission. We have a rule, that if one person gets sick, we upgrade to a/c, hot shower, and TV until we are better. I was soon recovered and we started on our next leg of island hopping. We did a 24 hour straight travel from Koh Chang to Koh Pangan. It was as follows: taxi to the pier, then ferry to mainland, then bus to bangkok, then bus to subway, then subway to train station, the train to south west thailand overnight, then bus to pier, then ferry to island, then motorbike to the town near our bungalow. It was worth it .
We are now staying in a bungalow on a beautiful undeveloped bay with a great beach and two other bungalow resorts nearby who have good restraunts. Our bungalow is on the beach and has a hammock out front, with a great restraunt nearby run by the wife of the owner of the bungalows. Everyone staying there has been there atleast half a dozen times. Some have been there for a couple months. We can see that it can be hard a place to leave. Whats great is there is a family/old friends atmosphere and every one is really welcoming. Its pretty much exactly what ive been looking as far as an island retreat goes. More pictures and stories will be coming soon… 3 Responses to “Island Hopping”Post a comment |

Hope you don’t mind, but your blog along with photos has been projected onto my screen at school for the grade eight drama class to see….they love you both now…lied and said you were married so kids wouldn’t go home and tell stories about what they are learning at school. Just wanted kids to know that there is a world beyond where they live. They ask daily about you:) This has been great and I am jealous. ps….those drinks look good!

Stay well and enjoy the rest of your time in SE Asia during the next 2 weeks. Australia will seem like an extended holiday. I just returned to Kalamazoo after 3 days of project management training in the windy city of Chicago. Lisa said we had 8 inches of snow on Monday…prompting the neighbors to scatter their kindnesses: Chris shoveled the driveway, Lisa saw to it that Fudge was inside as much as possible, and Tim and Tory walked Fudge. Miss you guys…thanks for keeping everyone so well informed of your adventures. Kisses xoxo Mum
