Day 14 (last night WAS a curry night!) Had an early alarm again as our tour today was to Rok and Ha Islands and the transport was scheduled to arrive between 7:00am and 7:30am. We hoped for the latter as breakfast started at 7:00am! I just got the first spoonful of Museli to my mouth when a minibus drove into the turning circle. Fortunately it was to take someone to the airport and we were able to eat our regular 3 course breakfast, albeit rather hurriedly! A u...

Day 13 Today was to be a rest day so did very little. Got up late at 7:45 and after breakfast just pottered around the apartment. Went for a walk down the road as one of the shops sold 'Bubble Tea' which we were recommended by someone we befriended by the pool! I didn't think much of it as it was a flavoured watery mixture with little gelatinous bubbles containing some liquid and served mixed with ice. No need to try that again. Then we were lured into a restau...

Day 12 Today we had booked to go on a Jungle Tour involving a trip to the Hot Stream, Emerald Pool and Buddhist temple. We met a nice Canadian lady called Linda who was also on the tour. The minibus picked us up at about 9:15 and we headed down the highway towards Trang again. This highway is starting to look familiar! Ominously, the tour guide asked us to ensure our seat belts were fastened. (He'd obviously driven with this driver before!) After an hour or s...

Day 11 Today was our 24th Wedding Anniversary and we had booked to go to the Lae Lay Grill Restaurant for dinner which is up on a hill nearby with a view across the water and good view of sunset. Before that though we had a fairly relaxing day, walking along the beach after breakfast, swimming in the sea and eating lunch at a nice restaurant just above the beach. (they had a 6.5 hour Happy 'Hour'!) They had curries for 100bht which I enjoyed. Lisa is not as kee...

Day 10 We are starting to get used to a 5:45 alarm. Stayed at the A List Hotel overnight and preordered breakfast for 6:30 in the dining room which was in fact waiting for us when we arrived. Hardly anyone else staying so had great service. Checked out and headed to the spot where the minibus leaves for Hatyai and there was one there so jumped on. 34 bht each for the trip which took about an hour. (bit over a $1.50) Can't grumble at that! Arrived at a differen...
