Tropical islands, white sand beaches, warm water, coral reefs, beachside bars. We experienced all that in our three week visit. We also saw a different side of the country, where life is hard and poverty is rife.
A hectic three weeks circumnavigating Taiwan from Taipei down the west coast to Kaohsiung then back up the untamed east coast. Too much to see and do in such a short time.
We spent six weeks in a private villa in Koh Samui, Thailand. Perfect except for the relentless monsoon. Even with the rain, we loved it. A final few days in Bangkok was the icing on the cake.
