Koh Chang Day 1

Koh Chang Day 1
7/6/2011
Since we had a pretty long last day or two, we had an easy morning, which started with breakfast. :)  Some eggs, bread, and coffee.  Our bungalow didn't include breakfast, so we were off the hook of toast and coffee. :)  It was good, although the coffee was pretty bitter.  Oh well, food's food, right?

Quite the breakfast! :)

After breakfast, we just wandered along the beach for awhile.  The tide was way out, so the beach was huge (although quite rocky in places).  After wandering around for awhile, we went up to an "oservation point" on the hill to see a little further.  And the views were stunning!

The beach

Beautiful view!

Then we just wandered back into town to look for anything interesting.  We talked with a lady about trekking or snorkeling and got some information from her, but didn't book anything.  We needed to figure out how long we were going to stay first! :)  After wandering, we hung out by the beach for awhile.  While we were just chilling, two Thai guys brought their baby elephants down for a wash.  And we got to swim with them!  That was really cool.

Showoff... :)

Me shaking hands with the elephant (or me shaking his trunk...)

Helllllloooooo... :)

After the elephant excitement, we swam for a bit and then headed out for dinner.   I didn't get any pictures, although we both got soup.  I got a seafood soup and Bridget got a chicken soup.  Mine was really good and Bridget's was ok.  I offered her some of mine, but she didn't go for it.  Oh well, I tried... :)  When we got back, we decided to go on a snorkeling trip the next day.  So, we would have to be ready to go at 8:30am the next morning.  Since it still wasn't that late, we went back to the room and watched some TV, which is something we haven't done in awhile.  It wasn't all that exciting, but it was something a little different. :)  And then we got some sleep before our snorkeling trip! :)
