Christmas in Koh Samui

We had our Christmas in Koh Samui this year. 

 It felt more like Christmas should with heat, but that was the only part.

  Santa did manage to find us on Christmas morning, even though we didn't have a tree - we did hang tinsel from the ceiling fan.  

We spent the morning relaxing on the beach and then went out for lunch.  Most hotels had Christmas Eve dinners so it was quite hard to find something Christmasy for lunch.  We ended up and a restuarant by the ocean - we had a lovely lunch, even if it wasn't traditional.

We then drove to a restaurant and had ice -cream Sundaes. 

 Our Christmas treats!

Something Spiritual

A friend sent me this and it really touched me:

'If you are too busy to pray....  you are too busy.'

'Remember too that prayer is even more about listening than asking!'

Koh Samui

We had a wonderful 9 days in Koh Samui - it was heaven on earth.

Bangkok

Here are some shots from our Christmas trip.  These were taken in Bangkok.  We had two weeks away from China.  

We had 9 days on Koh Samui and the rest were in Bangkok.  I will post the Koh Samui shots tomorrow.  

We didn't do too much in Bankers and Miss Claudia ended up in Bumrungrad Hospital with a kidney infection - the upside, it was the most luxurious hospital ever and Starbucks delivered to your room.  Claudia recovered quickly, which was a relief.

We were in Bangkok for New Year's Eve and were on our balcony drinking champagne when we heard the sirens from the night - we had no idea what they were for till the next day.  Makes you realise how lucky you are.

The Fro Family

We have this afro wig that seems to keep making an appearance when whenever one of us is feeling silly or needs a quick costume.
