Didn't do anything today, but sit by the pool in the garden, read my Kindle, swim in the pool do a bit of Spanish and listen to my ipod, chat to Rod and a few others and chill. perfect....
The hotel has 4 restaurants, NAzia where we've already eaten, Luna Lanai which is by the sea and does Thai and European foods, Salas an Italian and The Deck. Tonight we opted for Italian and it was lovely and very Italian which sounds weird.
Got to talk about the breakfasts here. It is an amazing buffet and of course Rod is enjoying himself immensely. But they have the most wonderful fruit platter of stuff I've never heard off. So I start my day with a big plate of it.
There is the usual banana, different melons, pineapple, lychee, papaya, then the red skinned one is Rose Apple (Chom-Poo), delicate and really crunchy, they have mankey looking green tangerines which are just wonderful, and then one not on her called Sapodilla (L-Moot) which is like eating toffee custard, amazing. The yellow one we can't find out what it is called, but Rod wants to bring a crate of it home with him.
Another day by the pool, but today was blisteringly hot, so definitely stayed way in the shade all day.
In the evening we jumped the bus back into town and had another wander around. Saturday night is locals night and the place was packed. The night market is lined with food stalls and restaurants selling every kind of seafood cooked directly for you, but tonight we didn't stick around too long as so hot, humid and crowded, you feel exhausted. We watched Thailand go by for a while before coming back to the hotel.
Went to Luna Lanai for late dinner. I think they had a different chef on from the other night, I had a green curry that made my curl. Brilliant but took a while for me to feel my lips again.
We watched fisherman below us wading in the water and casting nets and pulling in we don't know what.
Finally caught up with all your excitement ... looking forward to seeing you later on this week!
