Our shuttle service collected us at 7:15am to take us to the airport. Another boiling hot day but it was good to be in an air-conditioned car. We got to the airport at about 8am and eventually boarded at about 10am and after a pleasant flight of about an hour, arrived in Phuket. Our shuttle service was waiting for us and we were taken to Kata Beach Resort and Spa. It took us about an hour and what a difference with the traffic here – certainly more normal. After checking in we quickly changed and went down for a swim. Dereck had a beer at the pool bar and I had an ice-cream sundae.
We then went for a walk around the area and at 3pm had lunch. We carried on walking and went down to see Kata Beach. The beach is beautiful – lovely white sand with turquoise water. Went back to the hotel but made a pit stop at the local supermarket and stocked up on some Beer and Bacardi Breezers for later! Back at the hotel it started raining for about an hour which certainly made it cooler.
At 6:30pm we went out walking again and went to the tailor we found where he took my measurements for some shirts I am having made. We then went to Café Opera to have supper where we both had Manama curry which was very tasty. There was a local guy playing his guitar and singing which was most enjoyable.
Beautiful beach and scenery.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the shirts you custom ordered.
