A Small Adventure

Get it? Because we're the Smalls…


Scooter time!

One of the best things about this villa is the pool. It is the perfect temperature for a dip anytime of the day. From 6am to midnight,  it’s comfortable and fresh, but not too fresh. So we’ve spent most mornings with a post breakfast swim.

Today Luisa brilliantly organised a bunch of scooters for us to hire. Not long after we set off on scoot number one, it started pissing down! So I arrived at lunch soaking wet with sunscreen running in my eyes, but super stoked I didn’t die. I mostly followed Jonny as he looked like he knew what he was doing.

We collected our items from the tailor, and the suits looked fab! I like most of the items I got so happy enough, though I think it’d be easier to be a boy.

We spent most of the afternoon in the pool, having some quality family time before James and Shaniah left for the airport. Dad made a cute and emotional speech about family, and we had some bubbles to celebrate the time we’ve had together. How lucky are we!?

Our afternoon scooter trip was in the sunshine as we headed for Freedom Beach, just a few kilometres from our villa. It was so much fun using the scooters and I wish I had done more of this before now. There is still time!

In the evening we adventured downtown for one last wander around Patong. Bangla Street sure is an interesting place after dark! We tried some more street food, this time crepes and mango rolled ice creams and I got a massage at 1030pm! This place is rad.

It was a bit of a foodie day today. Mango and sticky rice is popular here and sooo tasty.
