Day 5 Trang Expedition

Phew – another long day. Now winding down after our evening meal. The atmosphere around the table is electric – a bustle of conversation and excitement as we mingle with the other guests at the Nature Resort and share a beer. And Hayley has just arrived – yeh! – although she is probably a little daunted by all this, but she’s gonna fit in just fine.

Yesterday we took a day off sightseeing. We took a boat to Koh Muk and Koh Kradan to swim and snorkel and we visited the Emerald Cave – an incredible 50 metre snorkel in the pitch black to a secret cove with a beach on the other side. Some great snorkelling on Koh Kradan, and just what we needed as a refreshment ready for our 4th day out on the boat today. And what a day. Unfortunately, no dolphins, despite a considerable survey distance, but dugongs, dugongs, dugongs and more dugongs! And one came REALLY close and actually gave me the opportunity to photograph it! See below. Trying to get the rest of the team to contribute to this blog but they are all too exhausted (or drunk) ha ha ha. More “brieflings” to follow…
