Maria and I are both ocean buffs so Phuket was a great fit for a vacation for the two of us. Our four days were spent entirely at the beach or on a boat (with the exception of time spent on essential activities -sleeping, eating, and getting massages). Life's rough, I know!
Maria joined the growing scuba diving contingent of the family and completed her her certification in the warm waters of Phuket (apparently much more pleasant than Vancouver's freezing, murky waters). We spent our first diving day at scenic 'Bungalow Bay', and on the second, explored a coral reef, a passenger ferry wreck and 'Shark Point' (no luck, depending on how you look at it!).
A memorable episode from our beach days is our swim to a tiny rugged island that beckoned us from the beach. Upon reaching the island, we marveled at the many creepy crawly creatures inhabiting the rocks, then embarked on a mission to find fresh fruit, hoping for a papaya or mango. Alas, all we could find were coconuts, which, despite our best efforts, stubbornly refused to share their juices. We eventually gave up and swam back, arriving tired and hungry and just a touch sun-kissed (sorry, Mom!) but exhilerated from the adventure.
