Day 9. To Koh Mook Coco Lodge

A morning of breakfast,  swim/ snorkel and packing was our last in Koh Libong before a longtail boat journey of about an hour to our second island visit.

This time,  Koh Mook and the Coco Lodge resort.   It's exciting to be brought straight to the beach in front of the resort and have to walk through the shallows to get to the shore.  The boat driver helps to carry the cases. We thought we'd packed light but  when we're shipping our stuff around every 3 days it doesn't feel like it!

Coco Lodge accommodation is bamboo huts which are raised above the ground with an outdoor bathroom, covered above but with open sides above the walls.

The beach is not as nice as at Koh Libong but it's nice to have 2 huts and bathrooms between us and a bit more space.

The island of Koh Mook has a small town and there are other beaches we can reach by walking or using the bikes that are free to borrow from the resort. 

Leaving the beach option for tomorrow,  we wandered into town for lunch then made the most of the shade on a hot afternoon to play more cards, although Jon and Matthew couldn't resist exploring by bike and returned very hot and sweaty after their look around the locality on two wheels.

Barbecued king mackerel was a delicious dinner. Super fresh and very tasty, with a Chang beer poured over ice to wash it down.

Felt really got today as so little breeze - the wall fan in the huts will be greatly appreciated.
