Hua Hin pics




This is how we got to Monkey Mountain...all to save a baht!
Actually I found out later other people had rented a van for 50 baht a person. It has air conditioning and legroom. But thats ok because our tuk-tuk cost 55 baht a person and we had to ride up the mountain in shifts because the tuk-tuk wouldn't have made it otherwise. Infact, the driver had to stop at a gas station to put air in his tires before making an attempt.



Ice cream sandwiches. In case it isn't clear, that is a hotdog bun my icecream is on. Add a little sweetened condensed milk and peanuts and you have a tasty snack. The offered to add rice but we declined.



There was a European bakery in Hua Hin so Lori and I didn't have to eat eggs for breakfast again. However, our daily diet is short on vegitables so fruit for breakfast will have to suffice. That is a mango there and we also ate many mangostiens, rambutans, pineapple and watermellon. They also have rollkuchen, well not really, but a comperable breakfast food consisting of deep fried dough. The green stuff that is almost gone is a sweet pudding thing we ate with the rollkuchen. Thai food includes a lot of sugar and oil (apparently lots of the oil is pork oil which is one of the many challenges of being vegitarian in Thailand.)



We spent a lot of time at the beach even though the weather was rather mild and even rained a little. Thankfully the tan is coming in nicely.

Mmmm,rambutans. I they're sooo delicious. I think I bought them at every roadside fruit shop I saw in Thailand. I'm soo jealous.
