Summer 2011

We are in Phuket, Thailand for a month !!  Yes, you read that right - for a month !!  Girls are off school until mid-August and Paul has his break too - as it's too hot for the horses to race in HK - and isn't back til early Sept.  Timing works well for everyone so we have gone on a beach holiday.

We are staying at Kamala Beach a stone's throw from the water.  And there's nothing quite like hearing the surf crash on the beach.  It's not a beach where the girls can go swimming - apart from going up to their knees as there's quite a strong rip.  They don't really venture too far in as they normally have clothes on - they just like filling up the buckets to make sand castles.

It's low season here so it's rather quiet and unlike Koh Samui (where we were last year) there are numerous shops and restuarants closed.  We've got a great place just a stone's throw from our apartment where we go for dinner - right on the beach.  It's just perfect.  It's also the rainy season and touch wood we haven't had any yet and we've been here nearly a week.

Girls have recovered from their op and are enjoying the time spent in the pool!  I"m enjoying lying beside the pool !!!!

These photos were taken from our first couple of days....
