Little Man goes to Koh Samui, now available online.

“dinner”

Canelé should really have some kind of loyalty card. Tongs and I are there roughly once every week. The reason for this craziness (crazy because their menu is tiny compared to other places) is…

Last evening he gave up all pretenses of going there for “dinner” and dove straight into what he was after – Nougatine Crepes.

run out of countries

We’re back from Koh Samui. Unlike what the weathermen predicted – daily thunderstorms and cloudiness – we experienced blazing hot sun everyday. The pictures’ll be up as soon as I get the rest from Tongs’s camera (yes, a change in spelling to reflect the pronunciation and also my love of shopping has confused some people whenever i talk about Tangs).

My face has broken out; zit Australia is gone but New Zealand has returned and is joined by Borneo, India, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Argentina and Peru. I think I should have named them after stars instead of countries because I’ll run out of countries at the rate I’m going.

So anyway, just a couple of photos from Little Man Goes to Koh Samui (and comes back).

This is Little Man showing you the view from our usual breakfast table, which was situated by the resort’s private stretch of beach.

The path we use to get to the breakfast, loads of lush greenery, the dazzling blue of the pool all overlooking the sea.

boycott lido

Last Sunday at the Botanic Gardens for a free concert by Thomson Jazz, followed by a dinner and Ironman at Lido. I want to boycott Lido! Its halls are dilapidated and the toilets smell of a mix of diarrhoea, vomit and popcorn. However, it was the closest to the Botanic Gardens so we just settled for that before it got too late. The movie was surprisingly good, perhaps I should refund Tangs the cost of the ticket.
