We got up early this morning and went for breakfast, when we checked in yesterday we got vouchers for breakfast each day even though when we booked it Lek said it would be room only as she had managed to get us an upgraded room!! The breakfast was ok, we got toast and jam and watermelon and pineapple! After breakfast we just chilled out on our balcony by the pool, Marie and Mimi turned up about 1ish and we got some lunch, I ordered a chicken caesar salad and when it came it was just a chicken and bacon salad with no dressing, when I asked for the dressing the Thai girl brought me some vinegarette and couldn't understand what caesar dressing was, I said it would just be ok without and put some balsamic on instead. A little while later the English woman who works there came over and said they don't have any caesar dressing, not in the way that they had run out but that they don't stock it at all, don't know why they have it on the menu in that case!!!! After we'd eaten we played cards and had a couple of beers and got in the pool. Steven and Lorna were in the pool and we got talking to a Canadian guy called Dylan who used to be in the army and had served in Afghanistan and was now a policeman, there was also 4 Belgium guys who were also in the army and just on leave at the minute. About 5ish Marie and Mimi went back to their hotel to get changed and came back about 6.30 and we got some food in the hotel to just line our stomachs, then we headed back to our room and started on a few beers and had a few card games. The Belgium guys who were in the pool earlier were still in the pool at the pool bar drinking so Mimi went and got in the pool with them and me, Adam and Marie carried on drinking and playing cards. A little while later Dylan turned up and played cards and had a few drinks with us, he taught us a new drinking game which was cool but it involved a lot of drinking so all the beers disappeared pretty quickly so we moved on the the vodka and the rum we still had from Koh Samui. Steven and Lorna turned up at our room too with another couple who weren't actually a couple and I can't remember their names but they were nice. By this time Adam was steaming and got his guitar out and we all had a little singsong including Old McDonald Had a Farm, in honour of the trek! Mimi headed off to the black moon party with the Belgium guys and we said we would look for her when we got there and we wouldn't be long. After a few more songs the hotel taxi driver came to say he was free to take us so we all set off. When we got to the party it was 600baht each just to get in, that included a drink but we all thought it was ridiculously expensive to just go on a public beach!! On the way in there were guys doing body paint with the fluorescent paint so Marie and I had our faces done. Someone had stolen a couple of pots of the paint so we drew on our own arms and chests etc and Marie and I put pink paint on our lips like lipstick until Dylan told us it was toxic!!! The party wasn't all that, we were expecting much more but I suppose it isn't as popular as the full moon party so it's not going to be as big, there was 2 bars set up on the beach, one at either side of the party boundary and then one stage for a DJ so if you didn't like the music it was tough as there was no other option. We wandered around for a while looking for Mimi but couldn't find her or the Belgium guys but Marie ran in to some guy who she had met before who told her he had seen Mimi and she was fine but thought she had gone home cos she was drunk... We had a few drinks and paddled in the sea a bit, talked to various people and called it a night about 3.30ish. We went to get a taxi home but they were all quoting ridiculous prices so we said we'd walk on a bit and get one, after walking for a while we got a large truck cab which would take us for 50baht each and already had 4 Aussies in it. 2 of them were hanging out of the window being sick!! We got back to the hotel and Marie and Dylan were going to walk to Marie and Mimi's hotel and see if Mimi was there but as they walked towards the hotel exit they found Mimi with the Belgium guys!! They all decided to get in the pool but Adam was already asleep by this point fully clothed and not even fully on the bed!!
