Island Life

We are still here on Koh Chang island and it's still great. The weather was warm when we arrived but has turned even warmer which means more dips in the Gulf of Thailand. The last couple of days we've hung out, read our books, seen beautiful sunset after beautiful sunset, and even explored the island on a scooter. Yes, Melissa drove and we wore crash hats as they call them here. You can't really get lost because there is pretty much only one road. But, they do drive on the "wrong" side of the road and they have an interesting version of gas stations. Today we had lunch at Bang Bao, a fishing village with small restaurants and shops built on a pier. For lunch we had soft shelled crab and huge prawns with the heads still attached. Julie had to dismember and peel for Melissa. We have the scooter until tomorrow morning and plan a short trip to the one and only pastry shop called Crust. Due to no pastries we've eaten some delicious banana pancakes. Hang loose everyone.
