Happy New Year

What followed the bungalow move was a week of relaxing! We hired another moped and bombed around the island finding smaller more secluded beaches, complete bliss, exactly what we’d come for, exactly what we hoped for and exactly what we needed after the hectic first two weeks.

We tore ourselves away from the moped (Ed) and the beach (Sarah) and partook in a fun cooking class, thanks to Rach and Mike (Wedding gift No.4) We were able to pick the class that covered the dishes we loved so Rach and Mike we can now cook you homemade spring rolls, Tom Kah Kai (spicy coconut chicken soup), Stirfry with ginger (Mum you are going to love this one) and Panang curry. Brilliant! It was a really fun way to spend an afternoon and great to learn about the different elements to Thai cooking and the dishes we’ve loved trying. Incidently Ed’s Tom Kha Kai was better than mine (i’d got over enthusiastic –again- with the chilli) and my Panang beat Ed’s so we make a good team!

Eating said storm!

The following night was New Years Eve. We really liked the new beach we were on and were happy to stay on there for the night. It was mostly couples and young families so it was super relaxed and friendly. We went to a couple of bars, I had the most amazing BBQ’d fish and we made a few wishes for 2011. A perfect night - Beautiful way to end a wonderful year and an exciting way to start the next year, an exciting few months ahead.

Happy 2011.

Cheers, Happy 2011!
