On Thursday, we went on the John Gray Sea Canoe Tour of Phang Nga Bay. We kayaked through (or rather, a guide gave us a tour of) various limestone islands and caves in the Bay. We also went through the caves into lagoons in the centre of the islands, complete with mangrove trees.
There are reputedly monkeys on the islands too, although we didn’t see any. There were lots of eagles though, that the boat crew enticed with bits of chicken.
We kayaked around Hong Island for a while, looking at the caves, the little crabs on the rocks, and the lungfish (a.k.a. Muddy Mudskipper). And we relaxed in the sun.
Remi and I also managed to scare the crap out of Mom, by boarding her’s and Dad’s kayak in an attempt to steal their treasure. Yarrr! Unfornately, we didn’t get a picture of that.
Once the sun set, we went out into the caves again, and played with the bioluminescent algae. It makes the water sparkle when you move your hand through it, as the algae reacts to pressure changes. No photo of that either, as it probably wouldn’t have turned out anyway.
