Tuesday 01/05/2012


Again another hot and humid day.  After breakfast we headed off to see my tailor for a fitting for the shirts I am having made.  We then took a walk along the road towards the Karon beach area (although we were not planning on walking that far!!).  We wandered around looking at the various shops and the scenery and then took a different road home.  While looking in one of the shops it started pouring with rain.  We waited outside for a bit and then decided to brave the rain and walked from shelter to shelter. We passed a massage house and decided that instead of walking in the rain we should go in and have a Thai massage which we did.  Oh wow, it was quite hectic and they certain stretch and prod your whole body and even climb on top of you to use their feet and elbows to massage, but I certainly felt very revived after the massage which lasted a whole hour.  I would recommend it to everyone.  When we left the rain had stopped so we carried on walking back towards our hotel.

We were trying to take a different route and took what we thought was a short cut but ended up being the wrong way, so had to backtrack and eventually got to our road (and in the heat we were dripping with perspiration) after walking for 40 minutes.  Once back at the hotel we changed into our costumes and had lunch down at the pool restaurant.  We then had a swim to cool off and came back to the room to get ready for the evening.

We went out to Danny’s Pool bar for supper.  While there it started raining again.  I had pad thai noodles with seafood which was really tasty. By the time we had finished eating the rain had stopped so we went back to our hotel in case the rain came back again, but not before trying out a Nutella pancake from a vendor – very tasty indeed.
