Island Day 5

Great day. Relaxed all day. We hung out in the common area at our cottage for a big part of the day. Chatted on the computer and did some reading. Went to Bang Bao Beach after lunch. It was like a 20 minute walk from where we're staying. It was perfect after crossing the ghetto bridge. Went for a swim in the clear waters and lounged in the chairs right by the beach. I had a good time reading.

When the thunder started we decided to head back to the village. I was really hungry so we stopped at our favourite restaurant for dinner. MMMmmmmm.....seafood again. We had a baked crab on vermicelli and a veggie with oyster sauce. Delicious. The crab was so sweet! The veggies were good too. I think they use fresh oysters in the sauce.

It was pretty interesting on the way back from the restaurant. The sun had already set and it was dark out. The route back to cliff cottage is about 10 minutes. Have to walk on dirt paths in the trees, cross bridges and pass some local fishermen's houses. Both Susan and I forgot our headlamps. As we started on our little trek the thunder started again, but this time it starts to pour like crazy! We're soaked in seconds, cold and trying to find our way back to our cottage in the dark. All went well. We were just soaked. Good thing we still had our bikinis on and still smiling. Good times =)
