Today I went to see the marine park , just off Koh Samui, Anthong. It was really beautiful and I was lucky enough to have great weather!
So it started with a not so pleasant 7.30 am pick up and we got on the boat for a long ride out to the first island. When we got there we kayaked around to a few beaches that were lovely. I shared my kayak with a Canadian woman who although she said she'd done a lot of kayaking didn't seem to know how to steer and every time we were about to bang into someone she just carried on paddling so it made for quite an interesting ride! At the second beach there was a view point up like 100 steps over a lagoon which I cannot remember the name of but it was lovely.
After our kayak we got back on the boat for a huge lunch which turned out to be quite spicy! But was tasty anyway. And we made our way over to another beach with a hike upto another viewpoint. This hike was definitely more than a few steps and took about an hour and a half to get up and down! It was really steep and the last bit was all over these rocks so it was pretty hard work but when we got to the top it was so worth the effort! Such a great view! It was quite hard to get pictures because there were so many people up there but I got a few and will post them on Facebook soon. From the top you could see all the islands in the marine park spread out and it was just gorgeous!
Anyway the trip home was quite long and just as we got back it started to rain so we were very lucky with the weather!
For dinner we went to a Swedish restaurant because the Swedish guy in our hostel wanted to go so I had authentic Swedish meatballs in Thailand. Very random! And by the time I got back to the hostel I was so tired I just went straight to bed!
