I snuck out the sliders into the steamy dawn. Birds called. Insects tested my naked legs. The air was sticky and warm, and hung with the pungency of some over-ripe fruit. June snuck out to join me on the balcony and after attempting some photos (with our fogged up cameras) we tiptoed down to the pool, where June did yoga exercises, and I slid in the water for aerobics.
It was tepid, barely refreshing, but deliciously fluid – especially after the long flight and motionless night. The water was sprinkled with white plumeria blossoms that floated to the edge of the eternity pool; from my perspective, it appeared they would spill out right into the Phang Nga Bay.
After partaking of a ridiculous variety of breakfast foods we took the truck, with its wooden benches and slatted bed, to Ao Po Marina, for an overview of destinations and anchorages. Snorkeling, kayaking, monkeys, lizards … jelly fish :-P
Later we went on our elephant safari: too wonderful to describe in such a sleepy state so I'll just link to some photos … Let’s just say it was delightful, with another busy day planned tomorrow.
XO
