In a sense, I don't even really qualify myself as a "blogger," as the term usually describes a person who keeps and updates a blog..." But heck, now that I am no longer occupied by table settings, dress changes, color themes and other wedding madness, I finally have some "me" time to concentrate on my favorite activities: eating and writing.
To make up for the months of disappearance, I hope my honeymoon details will suffice. I will keep it F-Rated, of course. F for food. ;)
As some of you may know, the husband (now THAT will take some getting use to) and I spent 6 fine days/5 lovely nights on the beautiful, fun and funky island of Koh Samui, east coast of the Kra Isthmus in Thailand.
The perfect honeymoon spot, the island offers something for everyone. For the lazies (like me!), Koh Samui has beautiful white, sandy beaches and tranquil pools where you can read, nap and tan for hours without ever feeling restless. To spoil yourself even more because you deserve it, arrange a long Thai massage set up right on the beachfront!
I also highly recommend renting a scooter for a day to discover the island all by yourself. If you're not good with maps, make sure to grab along someone who does :)
Whether you crave American, Australian, Italian, Spanish, or Thai food, Koh Samui has it all. But unlike the time when I ordered salmon sushi in Dominican Republic and was given smoked salmon over a hard bulk of dried rice, the chefs here know their ingredients and how each type of cuisine should taste. Fresh, authentic, complex and always with a hint of sweetness and spiciness, it's almost impossible to order the wrong thing...
There's always an end to a journey, but I will never forget Koh Samui. Nothing will ever beat (affordable) fancy dinners under the starry skies, right on the beach, accompanied by live music and gentle breeze. As the evening tides softly hit against the white sands and coral reefs, a lighted lantern will pass you by, flying higher and higher into the night, filled with the romantic wishes and whispers of the lovers around you.
You can't help but fall in love all over again...
