Hello,
After the awful day we had with the visa run to Cambodia, we went straight back to Koh Chang - a small island off the north gulf coast of Thailand. We stayed there until yesterday and had the most relaxing and fantastic time!
We got into a bit of a routine of lazily getting up just before lunch time, strolling over to a local cafe for brunch, where we re-discovered our deep love for English tea! Then we stayed in the cafe for 2 or 3 hours reading, writing in our diaries or playing sudoku, and after this we headed straight for the beach for most of the afternoon. And after a quick shower we would head out to have dinner at one of our favourite spots showing a few movies every night. As boring as it sounds, we did almost the same routine every day and we loved every minute of it!
A few days ago, whilst having our morning tea in our usual brunch spot, we noticed that one of the local men was holding and stroking something that looked like a rat!! With obvious curiosity I approached and on closer inspection realised that he was holding a new-born baby monkey!! He handed it over to me - it just about fit in my hand, it was shaking and sucking its thumb and looking for anything else to suck like mine and Laurence's fingers, and it still had its umbillical cord! Although it looked like the sweetest little creature, it seemed so vulnerable and defenseless and it really needed its mummy. I have no idea how they got hold of it and what happened to it after we gave it back to the men, as we never saw them again, but I really hope they returned it to its mum.
Koh Chang was soo relaxed and the beach where we stayed had everything we needed. The only reason we came back to Bangkok so early is that it was a bit too expensive on the island and we feel we know Bangkok well enough to save most money out here. So we plan on staying here for the final stretch until we come home - it's so close now and we are both getting very excited! We cant wait to see everyone and get right into the Christmas spirit.
That's all for now - lots of love from us both,
Rozzi and Laurence
