hello all,
rented a motorbike on beautiful ko tao yesterday. rode as far as we could in both directions.
the island is becoming so overdeveloped that the new "resorts" have planted themselves in front of the old ones, right on the beach, so the beaches, while quite stunning, are very narrow. there's also limited beach because the more expensive resorts block off the "their" beaches for "guests only". in every island/beach town we've visited on past trips, this seems to be the case.
still an incredible place however, with spectacular views!
we snorkeled in two spots and got to see a myriad of colorful fish, including little black ones that were nipping at dorota's feet! it turns out that the current trend for pedicure is to pay $50 (in japan and the states) so that you can put your feet in a tank of these and they eat your dead skin. and dorota got it for free! this trip is starting to pay for itself!
ate dinner (and breakfast) by the ocean.
today, we're just gonna lay around, and tomorrow we leave for a day of travel to the krabi province. sounds like a place that adam may fit in! haha!
anyway, thanks to those of you who respond to these. we love hearing from you!
xoxo,
a/d

Here we go again! This time Peru and Ecuador.
We are going to try ourselves beyond the tropical paradise of SE Asia! This time we have packed for 10,000 feet Andes, snow-packed volcanoes, as well as for the Amazon. It was very hard to pack light!
We are going to trek in the Andes, hopefully making to the top of Machu Picchu; taking a boat down the Rio Madre De Dios in the Amazon; soaking in the Ecuadorian landscapes; all the wile eating new and exciting foods! ...ah, and drinking their beer! ... full info

Thailand
A unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14th century. Known as Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over by a European power. A bloodless revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy....more info

Nope, no fish manicure!So happy you share your awesome experiences with us. Stay healthy( cause mom said so) , enjoy trekking. with all my love, mommy
