Scootering Around the Island

We hired a scooter and went around the whole island - it was great, and such spectacular scenery on the way.

Looks like cordial

Legend Has it......

The legend goes that these rocks were created when a couple were travelling by boat with their son to his forthcoming wedding. The unfortunate family were caught in a violent storm off the coast of Koh Samui and their vessel capsized. Unable to swim, they drowned and magically became the rocks as a sign of their good intentions towards son's proposed bride and her family.

They are known as Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks.....

The Grandfather Rock

Also known as The Sleeping Grandfather ...lol...

And of course the Grandmother Rock

Cocktails on the Beach

Tonight we sat at the coconut bar on Bophut Beach and drank cocktails and listened to 80's music. It was great fun...

This the resort we are staying in - Hansar Samui

Setting off fire lanterns or lucky balloons

And away it goes

My Beautiful Mum and My Son

I will treasure this photo.

This is my mum and my son Joshua James

It was taken at my mum's birthday in New Zealand , I can't believe how much my son has grown up - he is now 21!!

The Censors Are At It Again!!!

Found Hot Cross Buns

But as you can see the censors have been at work....

Not sure what they will taste like - but I am sure they won't be nearly as good as the ones from home. Beggars can't be choosers I guess.

And the price for these gems are AUD .80c
