our first full day on ko samui! couldnt believe we were really here when we woke up, the place was just postcard perfect.

we had a lazy sleep in and almost missed breakfast...we were rather rushed because we were so late. before going to the beach we decided to have a relax in the room and watch the movie channel...everyday in the afternoon here they showed some pretty random tv movies...one was even a christmas movie. finally we got down to the beach and it was as wonderful as the day before. later that day we went for a massage on the beach that was just wonderful. unfortunately by this time my back was a little sunburnt so the lady gave me pity along with some aloe gel.

at night we ventured into chaweng to find a place to eat. we went to a place called the three monkees, a pretty good pub with pretty good food. we wondered around the street stalls for clothes and booked our snorkeling trip for the next day.

we decided to walk back to the hotel, which was a bad move. while we were walking on the shoulder of the road 2 guys on a moto made a grab for amandas handbag. to her credit she hung on tight and let out a scream, so they didnt make off with it. still, after that we decided to take taxis going home from then on.
