James Bond Island and beyond, Thailand

This tour started at 5 AM. Initially we groaned at the early start but it ended up being perfect. We were ahead of the crowds at every stop. We were early enough to get the sunrise on the ocean. Our first stop was through a cave to a big clearing. James Bond Island We stoppedContinue reading “James Bond Island and beyond, Thailand”

Phi Phi and Bamboo Island tours

Phi Phi Island tour was incredibly beautiful…but crowded beyond belief. The boat was packed and seemed small for the 70+ tourists crammed into the seats. The scenery was very pretty. Our first stop was supposed to be snorkelling but there were too many jellyfish. There were lots of fish visible from the boat. We thenContinue reading “Phi Phi and Bamboo Island tours”

Venao has both hiking and surfing

As a change from all beach days, we decided to do a small jungle hike. Eco Venao Lodge has a short hike we have done a couple of times. Thankfully for the most part there are shade trees.

I am thankful that we are able to be away from the cold, snow and ice. From the beginning our mainContinue reading “Loving Everything Beach”

Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder, Playa Los Destiladeros

The beach looks different in sunshine or cloud, low or high tide and calm or stormy seas. It’s all beautiful. Yesterday we wentContinue reading “Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder, Playa Los Destiladeros”

2020, Beaches and more, Pedasi

We had not yet been to Playa La Garita. This beach has rocky areas. The day we went it was super windy. A beautiful day to walk the beach, always being mindful of the waves. We also went to Punta Mala. Again, beautiful but oh so windy. The picture above and below are basically takenContinue reading “2020, Beaches and more, Pedasi”
