Calm seas are great for swimming but it is also great excitement watching the stormy waves come in from far away and bring all sorts of life to the beach.
Stormy Weather – Oh, Nice Waves
Hula Time for Coffee Girls
Gee found a Hula Hoop. Wow, haven’t seen one for sooooooo many years. Then she went into her moves and shook up the whole community (kidding). She did an admirable job. So, not only does she make a great coffee every morning, along with soy milk and pumpkin juice, she can also hippy-hippy-shake.
Jelly (jellyfish) Assessment
When the unusual approaches your hangout it is curiosity that leads to investigation. In this case it was a big jelly lying on the beach. This was a big one, relative to the jellies generally floating in the area. At least jellies don’t jump out of the water and stick holes in your ears as the fish did to Paul several months ago.
Snorkeling off the Dive Boat
People from all over the world, some families not only having traveled to many countries but originating from several countries, enjoy the universal KAWABUNGA challenge. Rains come and go and cool off the day and make the trip more beautiful and interesting than a totally sunny day (how boring). This is the trip from Koh Mak back to Koh Chang, Thailand. I joined the round trip at Koh Mak for the one way trip back to Koh Chang. I was staying on Koh Mak for 5 days just getting away from the small community (sardine can). After one year on Koh Chang it really feels good to get away now and then.
A Peacock does what he has to do.
These Peacocks come out of their yard, walk in the streets looking for food, much like the dogs all over Thailand. They get food, all right, though maybe not the kind they need for a healthy body. Someone knows about that, not me. Well, one morning the Peacock came to Gee’s coffee station looking for something to eat so we provided something.
Pomeranian Challenges Crabs
Fifa tries her paws at catching very nimble crabs outside Chang Bar, Koh Chang, Thailand. We all sit, have a drink and watch her go for it. She kept at it for about 10 minutes but I cut the video down. We were rooting for……(my lips are sealed).
Daily Antics, with FOOD!
Daily This, That and The Other!
Water, Water, Waterfall!
This was one of our goals. The second one is coming up.
We need to go even higher.
Here we go. This is the best pool further up. It is a long way to the origin of the fall. Notice the PVC pipes to supply water to those below.
See Gee testing out the water. It is COOL!
A lower but nice pool for relaxing.
Brave Gee, willing to follow Fon to the top.
Fon always wants to go to the top.
Is he alive? Definitely a slower heart rate.
Lunch after the waterfall venture.
Quarantine Day 11 (alias “14”)
It has been 11 days since the health officials and hospital staff came by to ask us to quarantine in our rooms for 14 days and wait for three Covid tests. But my exposure to Covid would have been Wednesday 2 weeks ago when the sick people came to clean my room. After that I never went near anyone in the hotel or touched anything except what was in my room. So today is the 14th day since potential exposure to the virus.
The health officials and hospital staff haven’t returned to do another test or to give us any instructions so tomorrow I will feel free to leave the room. Of course the plan will need to change if people come by today and request I stay until Friday evening which I’m willing to do if requested.
