a week at the beach - and 'Isolationsschlauch' for dinner
... when you are in Thailand then you shoooouuuuld go to one of the beautiful beaches it is famous for.
So we were to Ko Samet, an Island about 200 km south east to bangkok.
Here it is:
Ko Samet Island - 14 white sand beaches in gorgeous bays.
Evening entertainment - the fireshow
Another fireshow-picture, just because it is kind of interesting to get such a shot
At the beach: Thai selling all kind of things. Here it is hot food - ingrediences in the basket behind, wok in the basket in front.
Sunrise - prince playing a magic flute to defeat a giant
Evening mood
This is Tuk, our waiter. He works 7 days a week, 14 hours a day, 1 day off per month
asked what he wanted to do if he could choose his answer was "sit"
Oh, yes, that is what he thinks all europeans do - he see's us lying in the sun or in the shadow, swimming, eating, sitting. Lazy lifes that we have from his point of view
And here for my german friends a nice little effort at printing a german menu:
| german | english |
| Gemuese kochte in der Landcurryart | vegetable cooked in country curry style |
| aufgewickeltes gehacktes Schweinefleisch mit speziellen Bestandteilen | wrapped minced pork with special ingredients |

An evening at the beach - it IS nice to have friends around. It's Nina (Canada), Kim (England), Heidi (she IS brown, isn't she?), Yvonne (England), Sonja (Germany), Clare, Kate and Julia (all England)
