The Christmas BBQ at our villa on 24th December

Opening the presents

Next day, 25th December, we went to the beach after a big breakfast

... and had a dinner at a simple Thai restaurant nearby

On the 26th, we visited Phi Phi Island (where "The Beach" was filmed)

In the evening, we walked along Karon Beach, had some drinks and had dinner at "On the Rock" seafood restaurant, overlooking the sea

Sadly, Caroline and Paul had to leave early on the 27th, while we enjoyed our last day at the beach and at the pool

Kuala Lumpur Zoo

Langkawi

Hotel Andaman on Andaman Sea, right in front of a long private beach

We spent a few minutes reading at the beach, but not long...

... until it started to rain.

Next rain break we went for a walk along the beach.

... before it started raining again...!

Still, we had a very relaxing long weekend, and look forward to coming back to explore the island a little and see it in the sun!
