A Family Vacation at Villa Melchett

Come March, we went to the Kinneret, on what has become an annual family vacation at Villa Melchett. Once belonged to Lord Melchett's family, the turn of the century villa and the surrounding grounds are situated right on the beach. Anyone can rent the place. L did and got us spending 3 wonderful days of lounging around and relaxation. We were a bit displeased with the management, but the luxurious rooms, professional kitchen, fish pond, 2000 square meters of grass, hammocks, oriental tent and the open view to the Sea of Galilee kept us very content.

Bang Bao Village, Ko Chang, Thailand

A few days ago we decided to return to Thailand and continue our "active" beaching on the island of Ko Chang. Searching for a quiet place to stay, we found Bang Bao - a fisherman's village on the southern tip of the island. The village is just one small street on a pier with a few accommodations and some excellent seafood restaurants.

Beaching in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.

Hold your breath... the Royals are beaching. Off came the hiking boots and on came the speedos. We traveled south for some well-deserved reading and cocktails.
