The End

Although we are already home while writing this, we wanted to complete the blog. Below are new pictures from Bangkok and the islands of Thailand which include Krabi and West Rai Lei beach, Ko Lanta and Ko Phi Phi. The beaches were beautiful and very relaxing. Very fine, white sand and turquoise waters. We went snorkeling several times - which I love and which Gene tolerates - and we saw some species of fish and colourful coral that I had never seen before, including a veggie shark. Our ten week adventure has ended and I think we enjoyed every moment of it. It was a tremendous opportunity that we had and I think we took advantage of it. We loved China, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. And to think I only took about 1000 pictures........

Thanks for reading the blog!

Bye-Bye Thailand.
