Merry Christmas, Happy New Year

We spent Christmas on our favorite island, Koh Tao. Of course we were with out our camera when we were at the prettiest part of the island where we were looking down on a lagoon that was clear light blue mixed with turquoise where the coral stood. We also were with out camera when we saw a giant Gecko (I can never remember the name of it) that was purple and green. It was the size of an iguana and so cool. We did manage to get a lot of great pics though. There is never enough time on Koh Tao but we took a fishing trip and relaxed and got to see more of the island than we had the first time. I'm ready to go back!
That's me rafting






I only looked at this dog and it followed me for two days and slept outside our room all night.





I'm pretty sure that rafting in the open water just bumped me up to number one rafter in the Iberri family.

Fishing Trip

This was a HUGE orange Jellyfish we saw during our fishing trip, it was so BIG. This is also a better representation of the color of the water on Koh Tao.





Movin on to Khao Sok!
Looks like Andy and I skipped a few steps...

Our first night in Khao Sok

The next night we stayed on these floating raft houses on this gorgeous lake.





On the lake we could swim, kayak, and relax with the beautiful jungle surrounding us. In the mornings we woke to monkeys and got to see them in the trees!



We took bamboo rafts to "Coral Cave," named for obvious reason.

Elephant Trekking. Andy got to ride on the head. Yes, we were both frightened, this was the biggest elephant we have seen!





Where we stayed our last night


Back to Bangkok for New Years!
