Off to Chaweng...
Have spent the past few days quietly because of some stomach trouble. I think the main problem has not been what I have been eating but rather what I haven't! I have been avoiding all bread (wheat) so have not had much fibre since I left. I found a bakery a couple of days ago that sells genuine Rye bread like I have at home. Hopefully having this will help and it tastes delicious. So for a couple of days we did not do a great deal!!
Yesterday I felt a lot better so we went off for the day to the other side of the island. We stopped first at Fishermans Village and went for a walk. And then the black clouds rolled in...and suddenly it was pouring! It lasted for at least an hour! So we wandered around dodging the puddles for a while. When it was almost stopped we rode onto towards Chaweng. We stopped first of all at Big C shopping centre, and by this time were both like drowned rats! Completely saturated! We had a look around there and then when we came out it was completely cleared up. So we rode into Chaweng and had dinner at Copacabana before heading back and arriving home about 10.30.
Today was quite sunny this morning so we decided to ride to Silver Beach after breakfast. Such a gorgeous beach, crystal clear water, white sand..just beautiful. Had a swim and the sun was shining. But about half an hour later the black clouds were above and suddenly the rain came. The weather changes very quickly here!! The beach had been quite crowded but everyone just scattered and it was deserted! We rode back up to Chaweng again and went for a walk along the street for a few hours. The weather cleared again and no more rain. Had a couple of happy hour drinks and then set off home. Takes about half an hour...
We went to the market here and bought dinner - BBQ pork and chicken, Singapore noodle, prawn glass noodle, and rice. Came home and had our delicious dinner with a glass of wine on our terrace. Just wonderful!
