Fourth day - we are headed to Ko Dam Hok and Ko dam
Khwan, two islands that you can walk between during low tide. We will anchor at
Ao Nang for the night because it is close to a hospital in case John is still
sick. We ended up anchoring and taking the dinghy to a beach that was
crowded with tourists. Chip and Brandy snorkeled and Brandy saw 2 octopus. It was pretty
amazing. They changed color to match their surroundings. John is feeling much
better and after the beach we traveled around the island where we kayaked
around a huge rock and along the shore to a beach we named "Brenner PeePee Beach"
because we all had to pee when we got there (and we were inspired by our time at PhiPhi)!
There were tons of rocks on the beach and Charles made up a song about
the beach. It was pretty funny. We continued to kayak around the next corner
where we saw tons of ropes where other crazy people climbed up to jump
off!! We kayaked back to the boat which
was much farther on the way back than it was on the way there!
Tonight we go into town - a coastal town in
Krabi in the bay of Ao Nang. Tonight is
New Year's Eve! We saw lots of fire lanterns floating in the sky(we wanted to
get some but they were illegal). We went into town for dinner and gave our cook
a break. She told us an emphatic Thank You! Chip, John and Brandy stayed up to watch
the fireworks and listen to bad American rock sung by a Thai man. We woke
Gillian and Charles up for the new year, but they were less than thrilled. They
did oblige us by letting us take a photo.
Charles with a nice head pillow on the beach. After he woke up, we met some Thai people that invited us to their New Years Eve party. They took a couple pictures with Gillian first (Thai's love blonde kids).
We kayaked a long way today. You cant see our boat at the far rock, but we got our cross-fit in!
We started exploring some small caves.
We enjoyed jumping off the front of the boat... everyone went for a new years eve swim tonight!
We re-celebrated Brandy's 40th again tonight... we toted this cake for a long time. It was hard to keep the kids from eating it, but they were all pumped to surprise their mother!
Surprise!
For at least two hours before midnight, the sky was covered with hundreds of candles flying in the sky.
And of course, fireworks.
