Eiler Visit IV

The landscaping at the hotel was beautiful--we really enjoyed the blue sky!

Ana's new trick was to blow bubbles--taught by the cousins!

Here's Lexington and Kensington in front of our hotel.

This is Patong Beach--about a block from the hotel.

These are the birds nest caves. Chinese consider these a delicacy. These also gives you an idea of how beautiful the water is!

Because everyone had been to Singapore before we decided to go to Thailand for four days, three nights. We had an uneventful flight, and after some tough bargaining managed to get a van to our hotel. On the way Matt scheduled the family to do the Phi Phi island day tour the next morning (leaving at 7:45). Therefore, everybody went straight to bed. The breakfast was nice. They had waffles, bacon, fried potatoes, fruit, yogurt, as well as many Asian favorites. After the family left Analia and I went for a walk making many new friends along the way. We then went swimming, got cleaned up and went out for Subway. We had a great nap in the afternoon before everyone got back. They all really enjoyed the snorkeling, food, and great views. We ate Italian pizza for dinner--YUMMM!!

The next day Matt, Mike, and Fred went golfing. They had a good time but ended up walking all 18 holes which is hard work in the blazing Thai sun. Once they got back, the girls went out to shop. We went swimming and out to dinner.

On Thursday we went swimming all morning and had to sit around and wait for our van back to the airport for three hours. The hotel lobby wasn't air conditioned so it got a little hot. Plus, Analia had a great fascination with the fountains and wanted to jump in! At the airport we enjoyed some Dunkin Donuts (not available in Singapore) and jumped on the plane. We also got to cut a very long line because of Analia. We stood in line for about 20 minutes whereas weeks before I had stood in line for an hour. Yeah Ana!!
