Cold in the Hot.

The common cold (aka: man flu) really is a misnomer, especially in tropical climes as I don’t feel cold at all. But I’ve got an absolute stinker of one which kept me awake most of the night. So today has been a bit of a struggle. I did, however, toddle into the little town of Bangbao to buy a few essential provisions  which didn’t include these odd items

but did include some lovely fruit for lunch.

Close by the restaurant I liked the look of yesterday (but haven’t been to yet) there are a couple of fresh fish eateries showing off their waresimg_1514 which looked very appetising. I now have quite a long list of ‘must try’ eating places.

On the way back, I stopped off at the little bach close by the hotel

The late afternoon sunlight on Bangbao  across the bay is really rather special

whilst an hour or so later, directly behind my hotel, the sunset is just picture postcard stuff. A wooden walkway has been erected over the rocks

leading to a platform where the hotel has installed a small bar

from where you get the chance to enjoy the ever changing colours

Awesome!

Tomorrow I plan to explore the unspoilt east side of the island. Actually, the southernmost part of that side  is not so far from here but as the main road doesn’t quite go around the whole of Koh Chang I have to go the long way round.

In the meantime…

zzzzzzzz, I hope
