Route with pics
Picasa Album
Yesterday was Loy Krathong, but in Maephim where we stayed it was celebrated moderately.
On the oneside it means we did not see hundreds of lights going up in the sky...on the otherhand we could sleep cause there wasn't too much party noise...to us it seams a balanced trade-off.
In the evening we felt like eating a western meal in stead of Thai food once again.
Line enjoyed it very much. She almost licked off her plate. We ate chicken/pork, peppersauce/mushroomsauce, baked patatoes/french fries. I must admit it was very tasty and a wellcoming change in food.
Today biked down the coast to Ban Phe for a boat to Ko Samet. Another island on the way ;-) We will stay here until we catch a bus back to bangkok to get Line's new passport and then we are thinking about boarding a train down to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with a 1-2 day stop in Butterworth. Train is not that expensive, you get to see a lot out of the window (more than a plane anyway) & it should be easier & more safe with our bikes. (Remember the sh*t we had with the planes until now).
Otherwise Ko Samet is just as the books say. It's quite touristic, but for a valid reason. It has beautiful beaches, perfect weather and we feel a more relaxed vibe than Ko Chang. Partly maybe due to the fact that the island is a lot smaller & only has a dirt road that meanders across it. We will keep you updated on what we do & see the following days...Tomorrow is Full-moon, so there is bound to be some partying going down. Maybe the perfect way to close our first part of thai coast?

This lightens up a grey and cold day, beautifuly relaxing. Heel mooi; ik kijk er elke dag naar uit om jullie tochten te volgen en mee te genieten! So far, so good, keep the good work up and enjoy, sla de beelden in jullie geheugen op zodat je er later altijd naar terug kan en natuurlijk ook alle ervaringen en belevingen.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenlove, mam chantal
Ook in Sparrenboslaan brengt jullie verhaal warmte en zon in huis, zo reizen wij klein beetje mee. Vraag me af hoe vaak jullie moeten oefenen om de plaatsnamen juist te spellen?
