Today we had another free day. We spent a lot of time by the pool before finally departing and heading down towards Nopharattharat beach, which is the opposite direction to which we usually go. It wouldn't have mattered which way we went, it was hot! It was stinking hot! Within 50m of the hotel I was totally soaked with sweat. We made it about 500 metres down the road and sought shelter in a restaurant for a late lunch. Lunch was good: well my lunch was very tasty and exactly what I ordered but Sue's was nice but not what she ordered! Oh well, that's Thailand! The beers were cold and Sue's watermelon juice was good. And the fans (we had two of them to ourselves) were heavenly! We decided to go straight back to the hotel as it was just too hot to do anything else. After a bit of a break in our room, we went out in the early evening and stopped and bought some silk cushion covers to match our new lounge and then went to the tailors to check my shirt fitting. All good so went to dinner at another pseudo Italian/Thai restaurant but this one was a lot better and although my dish was not very nice (Thai beef with basil and garlic which unfortunately contained minced beef) Sue's Massaman curry was absolutely superb and the service was excellent! We caught a tuk tuk home and watched a really good program (Earth Days Pt 1) on the Australia Network Channel before turning in.
