Today was the day we had to say goodbye to the Prices who were travelling back to Malaysia by car to start work and school on Monday. We were sad to see them go after a fun week together with them sharing with us some of their life in Asia.
We had breakfast together then said goodbye before we got on our boat to go and see the dugongs off the coast of koh libong.
Dugongs are a relative of the manatee and are also known as sea cows. The trip took us out by longtail boat to the area they are usually found. We had a view of a few dugong surfacing but they quickly disappeared and they must be good at holding their breath as once they dived we never seemed to see them for a long time.
So all in all a trip that could have been more interesting but the small views we got of the dugongs were tantalising so we spent a long time waiting for more sightings. The result was sunburnt arms as the sea breeze had made us unaware of how hot it actually was.
The driver kindly let the boys take turns at the helm on the return journey, much to their delight.
Arriving back at the relax beach resort at the hottest time of day we made use of the balcony shade and whiled away the time watching the stunning sea view.
Dinner and cards passed the evening of our last night in Koh Libong. We picked our way along the sandy path, avoiding the hermit crabs, (which were varying in size but very plentiful) for the last time as on Sunday we would be setting off to Koh Mook.
