Koh Samui, Thailand DAY 2:Jungle Safari

Day 2 we took a 4x4 jeep ride up through the mountains and hit some 'highlights' of the island. It was a bumpy ride but a lot of fun! We got to see some crazy rock formations, a monkey show, baby elephant show, elephant trekking, etc! The views of the beach and 'city' from a mountain top were breathtaking!



Fresh coconut=yummy!

Fresh coconut juice is yummy, too!
Ryan even liked it!
This monkey was very proud of himself as he posed for pictures after successfully climbing up a tree to get two coconuts!

Ryan getting pick pocketed by the monkey!
Sweet baby Tiger. I wanted to take him home!
Ryan feeding the baby elephant. They were greedy. Ryan was feeding them one banana at a time and the next thing you know, it took the whole bunch right out of Ryan's hand!
Baby Elephant Show!

The 'men' playing tug-o-war with the baby elephant. Needless to say, the 'men' lost ;-)
Elephant trekking!
Beautiful waterfall.

The jeep behind us! It was a bumpy ride.
Our view from the top of the mountain. Beautiful! My pictures don't do it justice.

After a long day in the jungle we decided to enjoy our pool and swim up bar!





Koh Samui, Thailand DAY 1: Snorkeling


I decided I am going to do three separate blogs for our trip to Koh Samui so I don't have picture overload on just one!

Day 1 we took a speed boat ride to Koh Tao and Nangyuan, two islands about an hour and a half from the main island, Koh Samui. The snorkeling was amazing and the water was so calm. Oh, and the views were incredible!


A huge school of fish.

My favorite fish. It looked like a rainbow all the way to it's mouth! So pretty!












Stay tuned for Day 2: Jungle Safari!

a day on a boat

Sunday, we were invited to spend the day on a boat off the coast of Singapore. It was so nice to get out of the city and spend a day on the water and soaking in the sun. And our friend Clent (who also works for the same company as Ryan) was in town for work and was staying with us. It's so nice to have company from home!
We left of the out of the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club. Makes me want to own a yacht!

Bye bye city!
Hello island!
Some other boats 'parked' of the shore of the island.
Ryan and Clent enjoying the water and a hot dog.
Life savers make pretty good floats/tubes as well!

Heading back to the city!
Me, Ryan and Dennis. It was Dennis' birthday and that was the excuse for needing to take a boat out all day! Happy Birthday, Dennis! (Please ignore the jelly roll, it's the angle I'm leaning ;-)
Enjoying myself.
Me and the love of my life!
A view of the city from the boat.
Some houses being built on the coast of Singapore.
Pretty sunset as we cruise back in to Singapore.
One of the big ships with a bunch of containers with anything and everything you can think of inside. Something you own most likely traveled through Singapore first!
