Kamala, Thailand, Asia Today was our last full day in Phuket and we were praying for a little bit of sunshine. We didn’t get it. Unfortunately, it rained all day, just like the rest of the week. We spent the morning making a plan for tomorrow and a tentative plan for the week coming up. We’re going to fly to Koh Samui tomorrow at noon and spend a couple of nights there. Flying is only a little more expensive ($85)…
Kamala, Thailand, Asia So it rained again today, all day. I don’t mind doing nothing when I feel like I’m choosing to do nothing, but being forced into doing nothing just isn’t as fun. Lynne went down into Kamala today and got a massage, but I just wasn’t feeling it, so I hung back for a bit and then met her in the village after. We had a couple of drinks and a bite to eat at a beachside restaurant,…
Kamala, Thailand, Asia It rained all day today, so again we didn’t get the chance to do anything. We went down to Kamala for dinner again and that was awesome! Thai food is definitely the best stuff I’ve had on my trip so far. We checked out how much it would be to get mopeds to go scooting around the island and they are pretty cheap ($7 a day), but we just have to hope for some good weather. Fingers…
Kamala, Thailand, Asia We woke up this morning to hear and see a proper monsoon going outside. It was a little ridiculous how much it was raining. We went for breakfast in the restaurant, which was awesome again, and could see that this rain was not going to let up all day. We played a game of pool in the game room at the hotel and then just spent the rest of the day chilling in the room watching tv….
Kamala, Thailand, Asia We got up today and had another unbelievable breakfast. It’s now at the point that I can’t wait for tomorrow just so I can go have breakfast again. It’s a very nice change from hostels where you normally just have white toast with blackcurrant jam, and nothing else. This luxury is very nice. Unfortunately, the weather isn’t as great today and it was pretty overcast all day. Lynne was out in the sun anyway trying to soak…
Kamala, Thailand, Asia I had an awesome night’s sleep at the resort last night. The beds are wicked comfortable and the A/C is set to a perfect temperature to sleep in. I was pretty happy. Then we went to breakfast in the Blue Sea restaurant. This is, by far, the best breakfast I’ve had in Asia. It’s like being at a Denny’s or IHOP, mixed with a P.F. Changs. It has all the normal American breakfast stuff (pancakes, French toast,…
Kamala, Thailand, Asia I got up this morning at about 8am and got to watch the Sox playing the Royals. Lynne and I packed up our backpacks and grabbed some breakfast downstairs before getting a taxi at 10:30am. We got to the airport within about ten minutes and it was one of the fastest check-ins I’ve ever been through. There was no wait at all, and we were checked in with almost two hours to wait before we took off….
