Island Tour -day of rest



First stop -coffee! Delicious!!

Gruesome names for coffee-Bloody Velvet Chocolate or Cold Blood Peppermint!








Seafood Market & puppy on the beach!





Aussie call them Banana Prawns


Pulling the prawns out of the nets!



This little cutie offered to share his breakfast with us -- too sweet!!
Obviously I need to practice with the panoramic setting!!





What man in his right mind would drop 4 women off on a shopping street for lunch and expect them back in one hour!! Our driver was getting a little worried and came looking for us as we were there for almost 3.5 hours!!!  After this we were exhausted and returned to Lamai Beach.





The view from our lunch table - about a 10 M drop to the sand, no barrier no caution sign.

Our schedule for the week! 




So, you can see that you can be as busy as you want - I have done the 7 am hike everyday and at least one yoga class. In this heat it is sometimes difficult. So, early to bed .....however last night at 11:20 I heard gunshots ....well that's what I thought but when I looked out the window I saw this.

We headed out to the Albert Cuyp Market first thing - we walked by a restaurant that said bacon and eggs and we were in it like a flash! The guy was super nice and we both ordered breakfast. It was interesting because the plate had toast on it the bottom then we think they cooked the bacon and then cooked eggs right on top of the bacon. Sounds odd but it was good - after I pulled the bacon apart from the egg and separated it all!  Tiki says it looked like a bacon and egg pizza! The owner talked us into splitting a piece of apple cake that he had just brought out of the kitchen - it was also very good!!! Freshly baked apple cake! A whole stand of licorice! Pigeon watching me take every bite! Only the Dutch could turn a bike into a table!  Delicious! How small can the cars get! Like the size of a recycling bin! Anne Franks door! Flowers are in bloom! People were lined up down the street for these cookies  - we did not get i...

Oy Vey, Arrived in Bangkok at zero dark thirty this morning just in time to see a beautiful sunrise. My picture does not do it justice. The first leg from Toronto to Dubai was great. I cannot say enough about the service provided by Air Canada. Everyone was very nice and the food was excellent. Even the food in the Maple Leaf Lounge was tasty and I am not saying that because of the three glasses of wine I had. Excellent wine selection ! Maple Leaf Lounge.  My space for the 13 + hours! Arrived In Dubai somewhat refreshed as I did manage to sleep a little. On the way to the lounge I spotted the Brioche Doree  - United Arab Emerites has every major  chain store and restaurant in the world, in my opinion these are the McDonalds of patisseries from France. I looked at a few things along the way in the multitude of duty free stores but the prices did not seem that great. No room for an almond croissant! M & M's, gummies ...
