at "Banana Beach" a Short Walk Through the Jungle

Suzan decides to go native with hair braids - multi-color blue beads dangling at the bottom of the braids - not easy to snorkel with these on - yet sure had fun with this style.  Continued to wear them for several weeks - finally parted with them well into Vietnam - Jim had to assist as they were fairly stuck in my hair at this point.

The Endangered Hornbill Parrot Which is

Found on Coral Island and Not Many Other Places

We were able to see many of the endangered species of the Hornbill bird here. These birds are generally in pairs as they mate for life. They are so graceful - a sleek black color with serrated white edges and a huge wing span. They soar like hawks and sound like baboons. We'd hear them through the night (a very rough Hoo Hoo type noise) which would echo through the grounds.

the Beach

Some of our favorite memories were dining on the beach. There are restaurants (typically Thai Seafood) all along the beach (very close to the waters edge - tables sitting right on the sand). This is a view from one evening where we enjoyed happy hour - and then continued with dinner barefoot with feet in sand - relishing the sunset.
