Tasha's Travels
Today we went on our island tour of Samui. It was so nice to be out of Chaweang beach and see something a little less americanised!
Unfortunately we had the most irritating people in our tour bus, a lady travelling on her own from the UK and 2 guys from israel. Within the first 2mins of getting in the car the lady started having a full on arguement with one of them about being defensive and rude in response to her asking the meaning of his name. They then discussed the water content of various fruit and the cost of vegetables.....thrilled.
We were taken to this great view point overlooking Chaweng- unfortuantely we can't get our pics online yet! Then we were taken to the most bizarre tourist attraction- a rock shaped like a giant penis- grandfather rock, and a hole shaped like a vagina- grandmother rock! ONe of the guys at this point complained about the heat and decided he'd prefer to sit in the van!!
Then it was off to the Cocout farm to watch the monkeys who have been trained to pick the coconuts- and we got to eat and drink some fresh coconut and hold the monkey- who weighed a tonne!! At this point i should add that the obnoxious guy started lecturing our tour guide about smoking and then refused to get out of the van to see the monkeys- because he didn't agree with it...........he later appeared and had his picture taken with one, protest was short lived!
We then went off the waterfalls and saw all the elephants that give people treks through the falls, so we sat and watched them feed and bathe for a while- love elephants!
Then we went to Ban Nathon which is a very bustly town- often thought of as Samui's capital, its realyl Thai and not too touristy, with so many fruit stalls and shops- very nice!
Finally it was off to the temples- we saw lots!! And the famous giant gold Budha! They are the most colourful places around! Thats all i can say! Will egt the pics on asap!
back on to beach bums tomorro!
