The 2nd visit to Lanta

My seashell masterpiece

So it was back to Lanta again... the first visit was back in Nov 2005, at the very start of the season... in the midst of the rain....

This time round, the sun was shining really brightly and my 5 days 4 nights on that very pretty island passed by in a flash... again, it was one of those times where I wished that time could be suspended... the typical day was:

0700 / 0800 - wakie up and breakfast
0900 - dippie in the pool / sea / head out to snorkel / dive (with cute french divemaster)
1300 - snack in the room

1400 - back in the pool / sleeping on the deck chair

1800 - Dinner with loads of yummy seafood and cheap beer, topped off with either fried banana in honey or thai banana pancake with chocolate sauce.... or sometimes both

Surprisingly... despite all that eating... I don't think we really put on that much weight... must be the loads of fresh air that actually had us exercising more than we realised.

Anyhows, I have decided that one should spend at the very least a full week on that island... that way there will be ample opportunities to relax, as well as to dive, play explore... (Note to self: need to buy my own flippers, else Jules will always worry). Must say that I returned from the trip recharged, and more ready to face the corporate battles. Hmmm... this is what holidays should be about, now, if only there was a manta ray sighting... it would have been complete.
