long-tail boat ride

This morning we took a long-tail boat ride from Rawai beach to Coral island. It was a beautiful day to be out on a boat and the water and islands were gorgeous. Rawai beach was also a great place to look for shells and bits of coral, and Alden left with his pockets full of treasures. We all enjoyed the trip, especially Alden, who has been wanting to ride on a boat since we got here.

We considered doing one of the package tours that take you out for a full day to tour different islands, but in the end we thought that might be too much for Alden--I think he would have to be a bit older for a longer trip like that. This shorter trip was perfect for us. More pictures from the boat ride here.
