Day 103 (Saturday 26th) - Happy Australia Day!
Well, what happened today... after a leisurely breakfast, Marie and I spent the day on the beach, during which we got sunburnt (but only a little bit), swam in the awesome warm water, and generally chilled out. Other than that, today was pretty empty, but wonderful. We went to Treehouse bar for sunset and dinner, then watched the fire show at Nature bar, until it poured down with rain and everyone ran for cover, except Marie and I who remained out in the warm rain. We sat in hammocks, drank buckets and chatted for a while before returning home - yesterday there was talk of motorbike hire, boat trips and the like, but none of this ever came to fruition.
Day 104 (Sunday 27th) - See you in Bangkok...
Last night when we got back to the room there was a 2 inch cockroach sitting on our mosquito net, which I had to chase out of the door with a plastic bag. Just thought I'd mention it. Today we did much the same as yesterday, having an awesome breakfast at our place before making the 10 metre journey to the beach, where we met Sally - now that Marie has to go back to Uni Sally has kindly offered me her room to share until Wednesday, when I'll go back to Bangkok. Marie and her friends left at 3 this afternoon, to start the 8 hour journey back, at the end of which there is an assignment to be done which is due in tomorrow morning. Rubbish. I spent the rest of the day on the beach with Sally, and finally finished Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, after weeks of very enjoyable reading - I recommend it to anyone, and now have to find someone to take it off my hands. On our way to Treehouse, we found a fresh looking coconut and spent ages getting into it, using rocks, knives and our bare hands, culminating in us slurping milk out of our hands and gnawing on the flesh. It is a lot harder than it looks to get into a fresh coconut. After sunset at Treehouse, I moved my stuff up to Sally's, which is really fancy, especially compared to our bamboo hut, even if it is a little bit away from the beach. Now we're off for dinner and an adventure, maybe ending up at Lemon bar, where it is Male night, whatever that may mean.
