Yin Yang Flower House Fun!
The owner of the Yin Yang Flower House is ex pat Dave from Maryland & Florida and he does a little of everything - since he does some personal training he built a very Fred Flintstone Gym in his yard. The house is actually set up as 3 separate units and the upstairs unit is the largest - so we ate and hung out on their porch. There was a wash and dryer also set up in the yard along with several gardens. Sadly I didn't take a lot of photos. My bedroom had a very unique circular bed! We got woken each morning by these birds that would sit on security screens on windows and proceed to peck at the glass from first light for a good hour! Fun Times!
Quaint Beach Town of Puerto Lopez. Saturday Morning before leaving we had breakfast at beach and went on tidal flat rocks.

I really enjoyed my first trip to Thailand! On our final morning here we went to try breakfast at this spot, down the road, we had been hearing rave reviews on, King Of Bread . The hype was correct, the breakfast was delicious and they had some unique choices. I had eggs benedict on a croissant, in lieu of the standard english muffin and Bosco had it on Milk Bread, which was equally tasty.
We love having authentic experiences with locals to really get a chance to see how they live and thrive in the Ports we visit. So when I found a cooking class, by a local woman offered in her home, we were excited to book. Um ( our teacher) picked us and brought us back to our hotel along with the family of 4 from Sydney, Australia, that had also signed up for this afternoon class. Um's house, which has a lovely open air kitchen, garden and dining area, was about a 30 minute drive and turned out to be on the beach, right next to the Grandparent Rocks.
The nightlife scene doesn't really get going till after 11pm and goes till 5 am in the Chaweng section of Koh Samui . We made our way over to the club district, and one of the hot spots called the ArkBar a little past 10pm to have some dinner, while watching the beach fire shows.
