I love the Deck, my favourite Sunday spot for brunch. I just do not understand why more places in Bangkok do not cater to children. This place is always full, as they are the only ones that I can find that do. I pulled together 5 families and off we went.
It was a very relaxing week after the birthday celebrations were over. The whole family needed some downtime after a very hectic few months. By Saturday we were ready to head out. We were invited to a friend at schools birthday party. They have recently renovated their apartment and it is beautiful.
Yesterday was a rollercoaster. I believe I was warn out from the last few months, I really missed my parents and my sister and altogether felt down. My school day did not help and I really wanted to cancel the dinner Luis had planned. But he insisted and Sebastian was so upset so I dug deep. Turns out it was just what I needed. Asit and Charu, Nadia and family and Janelle and family came for a delicious Indian and it cheered me right up. I am very lucky to have such special people in my life. Luis and Sebastian gave me lovely gifts and treated me like a Queen all day.
We arrived back in Koh Chang after a ridiculous journey and had one last evening and morning together. The children were so sad to leave each other. There were some tears and planning of next trips together. Luckily, we are only a short trip away as they are working in Manilla. Sebastian had a visit form the Easter bunny and shared with the girls. After saying our good byes it was time to get ready for my birthday party. Basically a kids party with a balloon maker/magician. They had a great time.
Well I learnt that my favourite secret beach (but not so secret anymore) is only very beautiful at high tide. The tides were so low in Thailand this holiday, since I have returned from the beach I have learnt that they were exceptionally abnormally low. And at this particular beach it really made a difference. I felt awful for dragging everyone the hour drive form our resort. Luckily, I made a recovery of finding a lunch spot half way back. It had some fabulous vegan food and then the best pool. I am not a fan of pools but this one was exceptional. Clean and salt water and felt very jungly. It was also our last full day in Koh Chang.
