Up early for our Phang Nga Bay shore excursion. Carol and I were here 22 years ago on our honeymoon, and we have a painting of ‘James Bond Island’ hanging in our family room at home, this this was a great opportunity for the kids to see where the photo that the painting was based on was taken. In many ways the area hasn’t changed, but one big difference was the lunch stop at a floating Muslim village. Back then it was a ramshackle array of barely holding together buildings with a market out the back. 22 years of tourist dollars has transformed it into quite a modern looking town. We also stopped by the cave temple with its reclining Buddha and monkeys.

Back on the boat we had a pre-dinner drink at the Sunset Bar, dinner at our usual table and then up to see a Beatles show, which was amazing.
