Our last day and a half in Phuket

On the last full day we walked to a beach about 20 minutes away from our hotel. We were hot, sunburned and really didn't want to get more burnt so we walked down the street with towels on our heads. It kind of worked to keep the sun out, but we didn't do it for too long. 

 The other beach...we liked Kata Beach the best...

Dinner at a restuarant near Kata Beach the night before we left. 
Annalisa always was talking about coffee and needed to have at least one cup every morning. This was actually in the afternoon when we got back to the hotel near the airport, but she can have coffee anytime!

Ok so the pictures are again not in order...on the way back from Karan Beach we saw this "dino park!" Laura is a scary driver!

I am not sure why I am trying to close the dinosaur's mouth...it doesn't seem very smart to me, but they told me to do it.

Annalisa's lunch...they served us and then came back with ketchup and made smiley faces on the sandwiches?!?! 

We went to a little beach that was not a tourist attraction near the airport. It was beautiful but not as cleaned up as the other beaches.

Looking for shells

Watching the waves come in
 Sirinath National Park was right by (maybe even a part of) the Thai beach we visited on the last day. We just walked through it on the road. It wasn't that big, but had a camping area and lots of nice places to have a picnic. It is a national park because sea turtles lay their eggs there, so they are trying to protect it for them.

They had a fitness park that reminded me of the parks in Brasil. You can see the stumps and logs in the background- that was pretty much the fitness park!
 The sign for the national park- that is a sea turtle above Laura's head.
 Another sign...
 This picture is for Kristel- They really need a Smokey the Bear in Thailand!
 Annalisa lived in Korea for about 5 years so she was excited about the Korean restaurant we found near our last hotel. She taught me how to eat all the different foods. Laura had visited Korea, so I was the only one that didn't know what was going on!
 Phuket was kind of like a little Europe, because of all the foreigners that were at the beaches. I don't even think I saw another American there. We think that all the Thai's liked us because we could speak English well (which is the language they use to communicate with the foreigners) and Laura and Annalisa knew some Thai as well.

Good-Bye Phuket back to the north we go....
