On our last day kayaking round the Tarutao National Park in Thailand we went all the way to the outermost islands and saw this granite boulder balanced as in the picture.
Again, it was a lovely day kayaking and snorkelling. We stayed around the outer islands which meant that the current was very strong for snorkelling and to be honest, thankfully we're good swimmers otherwise we'd have been swept away! Lots of stunning fish and coral as per usual. Photos on Flickr as you know by now.
Anyway, that was yesterday and today, Charlie and I had our first chance to explore the island on which we've been living for the last week - Ko Lipe. Its not very large and within 30 minutes you can cross from one side to the other. There are no roads (hence no cars) but there is a network of sandy paths that are mostly unsignposted. Hence its very easy to get lost.
We did walk to all the beaches and found the easiest way to navigate was listening out for the electricity generators that power each of the resorts (there being no electricity supply otherwise)! And the beaches are lovely. Unfortunately my camera batter ran out, so wasn't able to take pics of the best bits, but will save that for another day.
Starting to feel like its not long until we come home and that is a very scary prospect!
Love to you all, but especially to our dear friend Lara in Edinburgh.
