8th day of our travels

January 18th 2013

Early start today 9:30 lol, after breakfast we managed to get in some tanning before our site seeing adventure of Koh Samui and all it's wonders!

After walking our breakfast off we flagged down a taxi to take us to the famous waterfall 2 not 1, because nobody was sure where they left it!
The taxi dropped us in front of the entrance(200 baht cheaper). after our 2km hike up to the park we would have paid the extra 200 baht gladly.

Elephant, tigers and crocodiles were the delight of Sheri's day (not!), but still no waterfall 2, choices are 4x4 or hike. "Griesel style" hike it was! The next 1km meander was a breeze..... Sorry there was a breeze which was quite refreshing in between catching our breath and dodging 4x4's.

Finally, Sheri managed to find cold water in Koh Samui - under waterfall 2. After a well deserved swim we embarked on our journey back down to base camp and negotiated our way back too the resort. A very long walk interspersed with a few tuktuk rides. We visited a Buddhist temple where a mummified monk was on display. We are almost certain that this monk did not invent sunglasses!

Next we had to decide on a dinner venue - far too many choices for our already overloaded minds. The New Hut is very nice because it is on the beach, the beers are icy cold and a menu has pictures to help you decide on the cuisine. The food was great, all Sheri's new "favorites" King pawns in fried garlic, Pad Thai and Green Curry. Awesome!
