Doing "nothing" on the beach in Thailand

The last few days we have done pretty much nothing on the beach in Thailand.

Ok, there was lots of swimming, reading books, the occasional massage right on the beach and loads of good (and cheap) Thai food...but that was pretty much it.


It is very hot here - a good reason to restrict our movements to a minimum.

Also, when you sit on the beach, every few minutes another vendor comes by, offering you pretty much everything you need in life - from fresh fruits and ice-cream to T-shirts and jewellery...























Plus it is just very beautiful on the beach here - from sunrise:


















...to sunset:




















Fiona has (finally) learned to also swim with her head ABOVE water, while I have perfected my trademark underwater-handstand - both of which can be admired on the next picture:























In the meantime, Sabine must have read - what felt like - 20 big novels and Lucy is busy making friends with the many other children here.

All very relaxing and the exact opposite of the sightseeing extravaganza the weeks before...


Today (after one week here) though we finally felt ready for some sightseeing again and so we went on a trip around the island, but more about that in the next blog entry.
