Swim, swim, swim.

Ao Nang, Thailand

We are really comfortable with holiday life in Ao-Nang. Having meals outside under the trees with everyone is magical. The many daily swims are helping Violet to gain her water confidence and during each time she is in the pool we see her making huge progress. Today she decided to swim in the sea!

The story of the soi dogs is taking shape and Liam is capturing great images so he can build the story into a comic form. Each day we observe the details that will make it all a rich social science resource. The fact that Liam and Becs have been here before has enabled us to get focussed on the story reasonably quickly.

Violet and Becs had their nails painted today. We went back to the same stall where Violet had her hair braided and we were greeted like long lost friends.

In the evening we walked into town to have dinner and to do some shopping. It is not the busy season but there are still many tourists here and the shopkeeper are doing a roaring trade.
