It is getting very hot here.
We got up late today, having had a just-good-enough night's sleep after are train trip.
We went to the Chandrakasem palace museum this morning to look at the history of the place. It was very nice and relaxing as we were the only people there.
We found a stray dog, (one of thousands in Thailand), with seven puppies who still had their eyes closed. George fed biscuits to the mother and it was very grateful and started to follow us.
In the afternoon we went on a boat trip around the island and saw some amazing temples.
Some were in ruins and great to walk round.
We had a very bad trip back when we thought a snake was going to get into the boat. At the last second the snake went under the water and was hit by the the boat. It made the six people in the boat jump but the driver was unfazed.
So, we've had the army, drug smugglers and now a big snake - I think I might invest in some better insurance.
I hope all is well back home and the weather does not get any worse. For us, it is getting hotter and hotter. No real sun tan yet but there is still time; even for George who still looks very pale. I have loads of photos to show you - no, don't run away, there are some funny ones.
