This morning we relaxed around the pool at Las Orquiedas after our breakfasts of banana and chocolate pancakes. The boys had a great time exploring the resort of Las Orquiedas and jumping in the pool. At lunch time we set of back to Pawns for some yummy thai food, the heavens opened and we are due to go kayaking down the river later on. At Pawns we had garlic pepper chicken, panang curry, green curry and chicken and chilli sauce with drinks for 650 baht. Lovely again! We even had the added entertainment of an army of red ants catching a big lizard and carrying it up the side of the restaurant. All of the kids were transfixed. At 3pm we were picked up for kayaking, the rain was torrential so the hotel sent the driver to buy us all a poncho. We piled into the truck and drove the 500m to the river. By the time we were unloaded and in the water the rain began to ease and ten minutes later we were kayaking through jungle in bright sunshine, it was so relaxing. Our guides/paddlers were nice and pointed out some interesting wildlife. After about 90 minutes we stopped for a swim in the river, it was lovely to get out of the heat. A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon, the boys loved every minute of it, especially the fast bits. |
