Another very warm day. I took a round the island tour. First stop was a place where monkeys climb palm trees to harvest ripe coconuts. Then we went to Wat Khunaram to see the mummified body of a monk. He was wearing sunglasses!
We were on our way to the Big Buddha Temple on Fan Island, when our coach broke down. Luckily it happened outside a bar, so I had a beer while waiting for the replacement. The Big Buddah was only built in 1973 and looks like gold, but isn't. Then a Thai lunch in a local 5* hotel, before going to Chaweng Beach. Instead of shopping, I laid on the beach for an hour, before going back to the dock. I tendered back to the ship. Four of us on my dining table decided it was too hot to wear formal suits, so we ate in the Orangery.
Two bottles of wine won tonight.
The clocks go FORWARD tonight! I'm going to lose an hour!!
