Koh Samui

On to Samui. Here is where we really took the opportunity to RELAX. The place had a great beach for early morning walks and they offered meditation and yoga classes daily. We spent a blissful ten days or so just veggin’ in the sun, walking on the beach, watching the sunrise (and sunsets), drinking tea and reading books. Since we spend the majority of our vacation time running around trying to see everything possible about a place, it was nice to be somewhere where there wasn’t a lot to do besides veg. I did have to include the coconut tree picture – it's a view from our window. The juices here were spectacular. The cooks generally just walked out on the beach or behind the place on the mountain to pick whatever fresh fruit they wanted to create the drinks. Reminded me of Ecuador with the wonderful fruit drinks!!!
The restaurant here is a vegetarian’s dream come true!! The food was completely unsurpassed! It was a very modest place, the restaurant was not elegant at all but the food. They had the best Thai food I’ve ever had - I seriously wanted to bring the chef home (though then I’d gain weight – hmmm…maybe it’s just as well they stayed back there).
