After a hot, stormy night where no-one got much sleep we were relieved it was a bit cooler today, a mere 28c.
We had breakfast in the hotel restaurant and made the most of the morning coolness to snorkel the coral just off the coast. Sadly a lot of coral is dead but there is some living coral and some colourful fish to view.
Once it got too hot to be out we retreated to the shade of the hammocks or the raised deck outside our accommodation.
Joanne and Joanna (Price) enjoyed the luxury of a Thai massage overlooking the beach with the sounds of the waves in the background. Super relaxing.
The afternoon drifted by with a bit of reading and card games, then a wander across the coral at low tide to the small island just off the coast. In the rock pools we saw fish and sea cucumbers and we sourced the strange clicking noise to the small crabs in the shallow water.
Toby discovered all sorts of weird and wonderful creatures by picking up rocks and investigating underneath, including crabs, sea snails and a strange star like water spider.
Back to the hotel for a meal of Thai curry and other delights then a quick search for fireflies once it was dark. None to be found today, but we did walk up to the rubber plantation before heading back for a drink before bed.
