This past weekend,Friday 07/15/2011 thru Sunday 07/17/2011, Gitt, Nicole, Ola, Joel, Patrick and myself flew to Krabi Thailand for a relaxing beach weekend. It has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth, I think you will agree by the photos. Friday we toured the Tiger Cave Temple. Saturday we took a 4 Island Tour via Speedboat. On the tour we stopped at Railey Beach, Chicken Island, and Poda Island. We got to snorkel, walk on a sand bar and just relax on the beach. After the tour, we all went for Thai Massages…that was quite an experience--- I don’t think I’ll ever do again though. Hands down my favorite thing about Thailand was the food. We got Pad Thai from a street cart near the hotel in Ao Nang and it was seriously the best Pad Thai I had ever had in my life. I think I ate 2 or 3 orders of it just myself. We also had these great thin fried pancakes with pineapple and nuetella mmmm. Great Weekend!

ReplyDeleteHi Melissa! The beaches are gorgeous! Looks like you had a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the race. You earned your victory breakfast!
The gardens are beautiful...been working on mine, however, don't expect the same wow factor when you see them.
See ya soon.
