Cruise - Day 3 Phuket Thailand

It's taking forever for me to go through the photos and complete the posts. We took too many photos! And I want to show as much as possible. Slowly, but I am getting through them... Here are some more - enjoy!

Day 3 started very early - we were arriving in Phuket Thailand. From the deck side we could see a beautiful sunrise:





The ship stayed on the sea this time so we had to get on a tender to get to the pier.



Since we were on board Oliver was very confused he couldn't see his big ship. When we got off in Malaysia we came out of the ship and it was too close to see the whole ship, all he saw was the steps. Finally this time he could see the big boat he was sleeping on and he was very happy :)







Ready for another big day!



Patong Beach - it was very beautiful. Maybe because it was still early but it wasn't crowded at all. I couldn't imagine the big tsunami hitting there a few years ago.



Of course our boy took off his shoes straight away and enjoyed walking on the sand and splashing the water :)





We chose another shore excursion and hopped on a bus to Phang Nga Bay and Khao Phing Kan which is well know as James Bond Island.

On the local boat heading to the island.













Water village - reminded us the ones in Brunei



Beautiful scenery:









Arriving on the island: It was great to travel with another family - I got to be in the photos!







There it is - the famous James Bond Island:



We had a little swim. Not long enough though... I would have liked more time on the island, as some people were late for the excursion assembly we had only an hour or so - boo. Hans managed to swim around it in this short time though.







After another boat ride and long bus ride we finally got back to Phuket Island.
Heading back to our cruise ship:







Our busy day wasn't just over yet. It was the Gala dinner night!
