Good morning, sunshine!

Today, I woke up and a foreign brightness (which was the sun) came shining down from the sky. It's been overcast and rainy the past few days, but Mr. Sun finally came out to play today. Good thing too-- it's our last day at Ko Samui.

We took advantage of the rays and relaxed at the beach for a bit, and then ventured out to see one of the local landmarks, Hin Ta Hin Yai (Grandfather + Grandmother Rocks). How do I explain this... I'm just going to copy the description in our guide book because I don't know how to put it eloquently. And it makes me giggle.

According to an old Samui legend, an elderly couple was en route to the mainland to procure a wife for their son when a fierce storm pummeled the ship and killed the two seafarers. Their bodies washed ashore, and their respective genitals somehow petrified in the shapes of "Grandfather Rock" and "Grandmother Rock," where tourists now gather to have their pictures taken with the natural rock formations in the shape of the couple's genitalia.

 Yeah. See for yourself!

We sat up at the rocks for a long time, staring out into the ocean... The water was gorgeous and so much clearer than at the beach we were at earlier. We chatted with Australian newlyweds celebrating their honeymoon on Ko Samui, before they venture off to do a lot of volunteer work together at various orphanages around Southeast Asia. They were so sweet!

I'm tired from our long walks and all the sun, but today was a good day! Off to Ko Phi Phi tomorrow =)
