Ao Nang, Thailand

Breakfast at the resort is really good with tropical fruit salad, cereals, bacon etc etc. Your eggs are cooked the way you want them as you wait.

We went to the pool straight after breakfast when few people were around. Violet is becoming more confident each time she is in the pool. George is a fish!

Liam had gone down to the end of the beach before breakfast to get some photos of the dogs. Fortunately he found a pack – beginning to worry that they were no longer around.
It was so hot when we walked into town for lunch to a cafe Liam and Becs already knew.

Whilst the kids slept after lunch Gray and I did another soi dog reccee. We found 3 in various parts, mostly around the massage stalls. We also noted that there were plates of scraps left for them.

Another swim in the afternoon which was cut short by a thunder storm!

The resort staff had just set tables under the trees ready for their Saturday crowd when the heavens opened. We had planned to eat their tonight, so ended up in the inside dining area. We all had very yummy Thai food!

The kids went to bed and the grandparents babysat whilst Liam and Becs managed a little respite in town.
Off to bed. Being on holiday is quite tiring!

Singapore, Singapore

Today our Trade Me ad finishes – good timing!
After a good sleep we had an amazing breakfast of tropical fruits, bacon, eggs, pancakes etc etc
Gray and I took Violet on the Skytrain back to terminal 2 to find a coffee shop. We ordered coffees “regular’ size. Mmmm I wonder what a large one would be served in?

Back to our room, packed and off again on another plane to Krabi.

An hour or so later we arrived in Krabi.
“Thailand is quite hot, Grandma”.

Our resort at Ao-Nang is lovely. Tropical gardens, lovely pool and dining areas.

We wandered to the shops to buy beach shoes for Gray.
We all went to dinner at an Italian place because Violet wanted pasta. As we went to pay discovered they do not take credit cards! Next time, ask first!

With full tummies we wandered home and all of us went to bed early.

Melbourne, Australia

Gray,Todd and I headed off to Pitt Street where Liam and Becs were frantically packing and clearing the lounge and kitchen ready for their flooring guy to come in when they are away.
At 4pm we were on our way.

The kids were brilliant on the flight – but what would you expect? Perfect grandchildren!
After a quick Skytrain trip we were at our hotel.

Auckland, New Zealand

We are more than quite excited to be off on holiday to Thailand with Liam, Rebecca, Violet and George.

Roadcat to Auckland – mmmm. Dusty old van and hairy driving!
We arrived in Melbourne to be met by Liam and Violet, then off to Todd’s for a good night’s sleep! Neither of us slept Tuesday night as it had been quite a day wit an offer being made on the orchard.
