Hello, Paradise.

Sam and I woke up in paradise. And it's as amazing as we hoped it would be.

SO.... we took a bus and boat from Siem Reap to Kho Chang Thailand. The entirety of the trip took 12 hours and cost us $10.50 each. We were amazed at how the company could make money off of this. We didnt even have to negotiate with the lady selling the tickets, she did it all herself... `ticket cost 15 dolla´, `but today we have special price, 14 dolla´... `but since you buy two I give you bery special discount, 13 dolla´, `ok, ok, lady you have special price of 12 dolla´... when we told her we would have dinner and come back to buy the tickets she gave us a card and wrote $11 on it, she said `I hope you come back!´. When we did she knocked the price down to $10.50... I didnt have the heart to negotiate with her. She had already done all of the hard work for us!

The ride was more or less air conditioned and of course over loaded in typical Asian style (people and luggage sitting in the isles). The ride went like this, 1 hr, stop so Westerners can buy quality Asian souvenirs. 2 hr, Thai boarder. Everyone off of bus. 1 hr, onto smaller bus shuffled to border control. 1 hr, actual boarder crossing. 1 hr, onto small bus to restaurant so that fat Westerners can eat quality Asian cuisine. 4 hr, to Trat to take boat to Kho Chang.... almost NO stops! The driver was a total maniac. 2 hr, boat from Trat to Kho Chang... a very slow boat. We finally arrived at 730 and were so excited to be here.

This morning when we were talking about what to do with our day it was pretty obvious. Breakfast, beach, lunch, snorkel inquires, beach, sunset, shower, dinner, call our mothers.

Tomorrow looks about the same with more beach and kayaking.

Thailand has the most amazing fruit smoothies, and Sam and I wanted to share the recipe with everyone so that if people are missing us they can whip something up in the blender and join in on our trip....

Basically, pick your fruit. Our favorites are pineapple andor mixed fruit (they use pineapple, banana, apple, watermelon, mango, papaya, dragon fruit...etc) Take a cup or so of diced fruit, toss it in the blender. Add a little less than a cup of ice. 14 cup of coconut milk 14 cup milk. Blend. Sip. Smile.

Sorry, no pics tonight. More to come soon. We promise.
