The music pumping from the speakers set up on the beach is slowly drawing the crowd out, now that the fire-dancing show has ended. The fireworks that have been going off sporadically over our heads in the night sky are complimented by the occasional roman candle – a dark muscled man with no shirt points his out over the ocean, and a slow stream of sparks shoots out the end, each one flaring before going out.
“Look, he looks like Harry Potter!” I giggle.
“Wow,” says Jack, smiling. “You’re drunk!”
He’s maybe half-right. Maybe just one more bucket of Malibu & pineapple juice before we head out to the dance floor…
Dancing on Lonely Beach

Ko Chang, Thailand: We spent Dec 27th – January 4th on the idyllic island of Ko Chang, which many people have told us is one of the nicest islands in Thailand. For for big resorts and all the conveniences of home, White Sand Beach is the most developed; for laid-back backpacker-style resorts of bamboo huts on the beach, Lonely Beach was the place to go. We also took motor scooters around the island to remote Long Beach for some swimming and snorkeling with almost no one else around; there is only one guesthouse, and power only runs in the evenings from 6pm to 11pm.
