we are off to the coral island, Koh Larn,
all set and ready to go, long shadows show it is early morning,
the boat was really packed with many people standing for the whole trip,
the skies looked clear as we past the new lighthouse,
soon we were approaching the island,
as a jet ski roared the other way,
we are nearly there,
some took a long tail,
not long now,
but first a long tail arrived to pick up some supplies from our boat,
there is no rudder, the boat is steered by moving the propeller as the engine is on gimbals,
on the jetty and making our way to the beach at last, this was a first for some of the family, being on a boat, seeing the sea and being on a white sand beach, (not to mention flying in an aeroplane),
the beach we are going to in the background,
we walked past the shrine,
as always it was immaculate,
along the boardwalk,
past some of the food stalls which reminded us we had not eaten breakfast as we wanted to make an early start,
then time for Sandio to get changed for a swim,
along with Mum and Dioshane,
Dioshane strikes the pose,
and again,
Sandio just wanted to swim, he apart from eating spent the whole day in the sea,
as apposed to me, I spent the whole day reading and having a few ZZZZZ's!
Diana gets ready to have a dip,
all of the family are already there,
Dioshane and Diana,
then the food arrived,
all that is on the table came to 790 baht, it was more than enough for all of us,
time to tuck in,
me too,
we must build up for the afternoons swim! I was always told as a kid that eating and swimming soon afterwards would result cramps and drownings which of course is not true, there hasn't been so much as one drowning attributed to this, not even a near drowning,
the Turkish ice cream and kebab stall is still here on the island,
then time for my afternoon dessert, 'Cheers!',
it was all too much for Dioshane,
but Mum and Dioshane were soon back out at sea again,
next Diana went for another swim,
and came back exhausted,
by now the tide had turned and was making it's way back in,
so another dip was in order,
Dioshane poses for Diana,
as the tide comes in,
Sandio is like all of us having a great time,
the good news out here is that the swimming area is cordoned off,
no chance of a jet ski not seeing these buoys,
then all too soon it is time to go,
we decided on the 4.00 in the afternoon ferry home, the cost the same as last time 30 baht each way,
so goodbye to the beach,
as we head back along the jetty,
maybe next time we might take a speed boat home,
a pose before we finally leave, we all had a great day,
one of the many nice things about the beach here is that normally the water is so clear,
all set for the ride home,
Royal Cliff in the distance,
and Pattaya Park, on our 'to do' list but we are of course 4 days short on Diana's families holiday due to their first flight basically being cancelled,
we over took a fishing boat on the way in,
after arriving home and a shower and freshen up we were off again, this time to Tesco,
to be more specific to MK Restaurant, which is above the Tesco selling area,
where we were joined by Mr. Tony,
normally here you cook your own food, but we went with prepared dishes from the menu,
soon the food started to arrive,
there was so much off it, but absolutely delicious, especially the mix of red pork, crispy pork and sliced duck,
next home feet up to watch a DVD or two, or in Diana's case catch a few ZZZZZ's!
we first watched Shrek 2, if you liked Shrek, then this will delight you too, Shrek has rescued Princess Fiona, got married, and now is time to meet the parents, great fun,
by now all of the family were tired so the went to bed, which left me, so I decided to watch the TOTO BluRay we had bought, this one titled Falling In Between, this was the live version, and great it was to,
