Big Buddha temple

On the North-eastery tip of Koh Samui (visible as you fly in) is the Big Buddha statue. I tried to visit it the other day, but the rain defeated me. Determined to not waste my day here in Thailand - I decided to once more brave the water and head up the island in a taxi-van to see this statue. I met some nice people along the way (a Belgian couple and a Slovenian family), who then gave me an idea for what to do in the afternoon.. Check the pics:
