We woke up to more rain and had breakfast at 10am at 'Khaosan restaurant and bakery'. Jad had a 'Kai Ka-Tah', which was a fried egg topped with chicken and bacon and a piece of toast. Helen had a croissant with jam and fried eggs and also a piece of toast.
After breakfast we went on the scooter to get to 'The Viewpoint', which was a view above the coastal line, the weather made the scenery look dull. We did not stay long as it had begun to rain, so we scooted back and returned the scooter at 2pm.
In the afternoon we went shopping around Chaweng Road, Helen spotted a nice jewellery store and wanted to have a look. She purchased a jade ring here for 100 THB, Helen enquired about where the jade was from. The shop assistant informed us that the jade was from Burma and its where the best jade are from. After this Jay saw a stall that sold Beerlao T-shirts, so we went in and asked the shop assistant whether they have any 'Leo' beer T-Shirts, which they did. Jay bought one and was really pleased as he had been looking nearly everywhere for one and have only been finding 'Leo' beer vests. Helen spotted some comfortable looking trousers here and bought some. We managed to do some negotiating with the price and got it down to what we wanted to pay, 220 THB for each item. Helen also found some Billabong boardies from the stall next door so she bought those aswell (cost 250 THB). We had a bit of a spending spree.
After some good shopping we went back to 'Khaosan restaurant and bakery' as they did good food there. Jay had noodle soup with pork and a bottle of Chang. Helen had noodle soup with vegetable. They were nice but the portion size was small.
For dinner we went to a nice restaurant called 'La Dolce Vita', Jay had a Hawaiian pizza cooked in wood fire and a bottle of Chang. Helen had a crabmeat pasta spinach ravioli and a lemon juice to drink. After dinner we went for drinks at 'Cafe Uno', Helen had a coffee Bailey's and Jay had two bottles of Chang and a Sangsom with coke and lime. After drinks we walked back in the continuing rain.
