Thailand Was a Breeze
After the deluge that was India, we were more than happy to escape to our island in Thailand and do absolutely nothing for a week. My uncle, his girlfriend, Stef, and my Grandma Young booked us a “spa villa” in the best hotel, Le Vimarn Cottages (highly recommended!), on the island of Ko Samet. The hotel is located on a remote part of the island, so we barely saw anyone the whole time we were there. It was perfect and beyond words, really.
Today we traveled to Hanoi, where it’s hot and loud and sticky. We’re planning our escape east to the seaside as I type…
The view from breakfast (sushi!, fresh fruit and juices and all the eggs and noodles and rice we could eat!) every day.
We rented a motorbike and went mud-bogging around the island’s puddle-laden dirt roads. We broke for lunch at this beachside cafe. The mussels were incredible.
