17 February 2008 09:03:20 Hiring a longtail gave Joona finally a taste of real fishing instead of just dipping a piece of wire underwater. The big game part of trip was not a huge success (no bites), but angling near a small island resulted with a couple of snappers caught and many more fed with our bait: pieces of raw squid.

Budget underwater photography
17 February 2008 12:25:55 The big problem with snorkeling in tropical areas is that the coral reefs are impossible to explain to other people in words. It's truly a revelation to find that the stuff one saw in Jacues Cousteau documents is there for anyone to see in so many places. Underwater camera equipment can be quite pricey so the only way was to convince everyone you wanted to share the experience with to join you in the water. I found this Korean product just browsing the web after our last trip to Thailand - these can be had for less than 20 euros e.g. on German eBay.After this first trip using DiCaPac, I am truly sold on this little invention. It's would be worth the price just for the moisture protection for canoeing or longboat trips, but the fact that you can also take a normal digicam snorkeling or scuba diving (at least in relatively small depths) makes this a true bargain.

Shells aplenty
During our vacation Joona had the flu but once he was fit enough to come to the beach, he was quick to re-discover the old holiday favourite: picking up washed up sea shells from the beach.

Our crib in Koh Lanta
Our villa from outside. The location couldn't be better as we are right next to the oceanfront, restaurant and pool. Nice!

Another psychedelic morning
01 February 2008 09:32:33 Unfortunately the poor phone cam missed almost totally the fuchsia hue of the morning sky today. The sunset view over Gulf of Finland fit perfectly with the Jimmy Hendrix compilation I was listening to while pedaling to work. Purple Haze, on my mind...
