After the stressful ordeal of which I was ready to fish slap the next person who spoke to me, or burst into floods of uncontrollable tears, We perused the airport. Will buying 38 bars of chocolate, and me trying on Thor masks. We eventually came across a rather exclusive airport lounge. It had a water feature. Very fancy.
We decided to get in. One way or another. Cue Blondie hit. We took our complimentary lunch vouchers, given to us out of pity by the staff after our cancelled flight, and scribbled on the back 'access to lounge x2' including a squiggly signature. Cunning.
We took our plan up to the lounge, walking with purpose, we confidently handed them over.
"Ohh okay, I fone twavel desk for you!" (No stereotype implied...)
We think we've done it! We've actually done it! She's smiling, she's gonna let us in, we'll be sipping champers and rubbing shoulders with the first classers in no time!
But then....
"Ohhh, Miss Boooooon. We no can put you in lowwnge. This voucher not soootable."
Brilliant. Just about to give up hope, Will dives in head first. He explained that a man in a yellow jacket signed these, a manager at that. She makes another phone call.
"Ohhhhh, I sorwee dis is not lounge woucher, dis is lunch woucher."
Just about to defend our lie further, the other member of staff offers to find this fictional yellow-coated manager, and help us. We decide we have gone too far, and leave with our dignity in tact, alas, defeated. We had no choice but to sit in the middle of the airport, and watch Transformers on the tv outside the toy shop.
Boring travelling and plane s*** until we arrive at Phuket. We find another lounge. I stroll in determined. This time, it's happening. We'd been through enough! We were getting in! We hand over our boarding passes, Will says we should leave, saying this was too good to be true, that we weren't allowed in here.....but then, something wonderful and amazing happens.
"Okay, right dis wayyy maaaam!"
We'd done it! Complimentary juice, green muffins, and Thai magazines. We were triumphant!
Onwards to koh samui, we boarded the tiniest plane in the world (see photo) but also the best decorated! There was about 50 people on board, and the lunch was shrimp and duck salad. I actually enjoyed it, and ate Wills' shrimp. p****
Now we're here on this beaut island, daddy boon has checked us into a gorgeous hotel, and what will the night bring? Hungover blog tomorrow!
