Phuket

It’s been 5 days of total relaxation, just sitting on the beach, walking out into the shallow bay where the sea is like a tepid bath.
The hotel is superb considering the price we paid and we upgraded to a suite for a very small amount per day.

The food at the hotel is expensive and not that good but a 15 min walk down the beach and there were a dozen or so restaurants lining the shore where you can dine and watch the sun go down, the food was very cheap and excellent especially the deep fried crab pancakes and the ginger and mushroom chicken. The singer gave an excellent rendition of The Eagles ‘Despelado’.

It was quite amusing as it got darker to watch the waiters running around trying to find the correct table number for the order.
After dinner out on the room terrace all you could hear was flogs cloaking and chit-chats chattering.

Another flight today to Samui and 6 more days of R&R.
