I'm writing the blog in a topsy turvey way! We have been on Koh Pha Ngan for about 10 weeks but in that time, I haven't spent a lot of time with the kids. They were with a nanny to begin with and then with a Thai babysitter for the last two weeks in the day, all day. We have had a few days together. Actually I found it hard to be away from them. They have had a Thailand experience all of their own but I wasn't really there to document it much. I have been training in Bodywork and taking a self development course that was not worth the effort but you live and learn. The good thing is that I now have bodywork to add to my skill set as a naturopath and that can only be a very good thing.
So we left Koh Pga Ngan on the 5am ferry... this is how they travelled to Surat Thani...
We were pretty excited to reach the Thai mainland... we saw dolphins in the sea... it was SO exciting! I was expecting a hellish journey by bus across the Malaysian border. We took the bus from Surat Thani bus station to Hat Yai.. it was a bit crammy but actually it was fine, we all had (just) enough space each, we had snacks... it was good enough. There was even air con! That was the saving grace!
We all felt a little surge of excitement as we reached Penang and crossed over the sea bridge... we are all visiting Malaysia for the first time! We have high hopes because there are so many things to do on this island and we are all in great need of museums, architecture, good conversations, walking and talking and soaking up the culture. We've missed home ed!
