Thursday,

and we were off to the beach,


 but first I had a quick look at the new frontage for Paddy's Palms,

 as the gang made their way downstairs,

 work starts on this side tomorrow,

 a 50 baht per person baht bus to Lay Lay Tong seafood beach,

 a walk along the drive way,

 across the car park and we were there,

 a bit early as the tables and chairs had not been laid out yet,

 but soon was all ship shape and Bristol fashion,

 and time for the wrecking ball,

 which Diana and her family just love,

 so all lie back and enjoy the day,

 as the beach vendors, 

 ply their wares,

 next time for a dip,

 to try out my new mask and snorkel,

 and all seemed well,

 a fresh cold coconut for Diana,

 and after her swim time for lunch,

 with a coconut shake,

 pad Thai for Maureen,

 crispy pork and vegetables for Nick,

 'Cheers!',

 massaman curry for Diana,

whilst I chose a chicken and cashew nut dish with vegetables and pineapple,

 due to a slight mess upon the ordering front I ended up with 2 glasses of wine,

 we then meet up with Karl and Mary Anne from Austria, they had flown over from the Philippines where Mary Anne was born, to meet up here on Koh Chang,

 I just had to take a picture of this little girl, she just could not understand why 2 people, the girls, who looked Thai spoke a totally different language as they chatted away in Tagalog,

 sunset over the beach, then after saying our goodbyes we made a move to Paddy's Palms,

 where we had a dip in the pool,

which was a lot colder than the sea,

 we decided to eat our evening meal at the hotel, so our starter, poppadoms,

 Nick and Maureen decided on just a shared plate of chips,

 not so for Diana and myself,

 a beefburger and chips for Diana,

which was huge,

 a minced beef pie for myself,

 with mashed potatoes and baked beans,

 followed by Diana's favourite, sticky toffee pie with ice cream,

which we shared, then a really pleasant surprise, Karl and Mary Anne called to to say hi, so we chatted away, then after saying our farewells as we have an early start tomorrow, we were all off to bed.
