On the beach

Yesterday we flew into Phuket ($55 for a 1 hour flight). A friend of Sash's from work has a friend who lives in Phuket so we hooked up with him and are staying with him in his amazing house that has a pool. He also has a cute little 8 week golden retriever. We are here for 3 days. This house is so lovely - 3 bedrooms, tiles on the floors and walls, ceiling fans, open concept and, did I mention the POOL. Oh, my gosh, I think I've died and gone to heaven. I could live here. I must check into teaching in Thailand!!

We hung out at the beach yesterday until Bruce picked us up, then went to his place, sat around and had a swim in the pool, then took him out for dinner.

This morning we sat around the pool for a while, then walked down towards the beach, used the internet and had brunch at a Canadian/Thai owned restaurant. We booked a day trip to Koh (Island) Phi Phi for tomorrow and then spent a few hours on the beach. Shopped for a little while then got a ride back with the English couple who live in the house behind Bruce's ( on the same property). Sat around the pool again then Bruce drove us into Kata Beach where we shopped a little more and then had dinner at a beachside cafe. After that Sash had, what she said was the best one yet, a foot massage while I had a shoulder and back massage. OH, SO GOOD!! for about $5.

We are now heading home because we are getting up early to go to our day trip to Phi Phi (pronounced pee pee!!)

A great day - beautiful weather, beautiful accommodation, beautiful location!!

That's all for now.
