This morning got off to a good start when I woke at 8am and went straight outside into the empty swimming pool to complete 60 lengths. After a healthy brekkie of porridge and fruit, we spent the morning walking along Lamai Beach towards the famous Grandfather Rocks at the southern end of the beach. It was quite hard-going underfoot with the sand collapsing beneath each step and the sun was beating down on us. I was relieved when we got back to our bungalow and were able to jump in the gorgeous pool and cool off. Scott was in a strangely quiet mood; I think his mind must be on sourcing work back home.

We spent the remainder of the day relaxing on sun loungers and taking intermittent dips in the pool when the heat got too much. We booked a taxi for the ungodly hour of 4am tomorrow morning to get us to the airport for our trip back to Bangkok, and so the evening activities were agreed...an early night!
