When we woke up and got ready we walked to the main road and hopped into a taxi to take us into one of the towns so we could go to 7/eleven and find a place for breakfast. The ride cost us 100TB altogether and we walked to the 7/eleven for a red bull which we drank while sitting outside the shop with a fag. We then had a little wander around to find a place for breakfast. We didn't pass many cafes or restaurants at all and nowhere was busy, except the roads with tourists soaring passed on their rented motorbikes and scooters. We passed shops with had beautiful big sarong/throw things with vibrant colours and beautiful patterns but i know i had no room for it :(.
It didn't look like we would find anywhere to eat breakfast so decided to just grab something from the restaurant at our hotel so we went back to 7/eleven to get snacks for later tonight which included banana cake, crisps and chuppa chups as well as some solar dried banana( my attempt at being healthy). We hopped into another taxi back to our hotel and he tried to charge us 180TB, they all try to rip you off so badly so we told him we paid 100 to get to town from there and he said it was fine.
When we got back to the room i changed into my bikini and we headed out to get some breakfast. I ordered yoghurt, fruit and muesli with a side of toast and daniel just went for some toast. Eating muesli makes me miss granola so much, nothing will beat the granola we had in new york it was the creme de la creme of all breakfast dishes; so perfect. Once we finished our breakfast/lunch we headed to the beach where we lay our towels put on the sand (as there aren't many loungers) and began to bathe under the heat.
It began to get a little too hot and the water is too shallow to swim in so i suggested going back to the room and as i got up i felt really faint, walked a few more steps and as soon as i was under the shade i plonked down on the sand before i fell fainting. I lay there for a while until i felt fit enough to move onto the seat nearby and when i mustered up the strength to sit there i then waited longer until i would be able to walk back to the room.
Because i slumped down on the sand i was absolutely covered in it and when i managed to finally get to the room i went straight into the bathroom as not to get sand all over my bed. I sat down on the floor with the shower sprinkling small, pathetic droplets over me and when i tried to stand up i just remember a weird sensation come over me and i banged my head on the way down. It was like my brain had taken me for a crazy ride that i had no control over, it was exactly like that hyperventilation thing we used to do it parties. My eyes were open the whole time but when i came round daniel was standing over me asking what happened. I felt so confused and didn't exactly know what had happened. It was honestly the most surreal experience ever, almost as weird as the time i fainted and had an epiphany when i chipped my tooth. It could be a warning from someone, who knows but it was bloody scary, almost like a fit as i felt my body shaking while i was on the floor, daniel says i should go to the doctors about it as it seems to happen once every few months and my lips were drained of any pink colour that was in them before.
It wasn't the best way for daniel to find me, slumped naked on the bathroom floor but he hosed me down of any leftover sand as i crawled to the bed and had a rest for a few hours, drinking plenty of water. We stayed in our room for a few hours until it got to dinner time so we headed to the restayrant to sit at a table on the beach. We both ordered garlic and pepper chicken with rice which was 120TB- just over £2 and it was yummy but didn't taste very garlicy. After the dinner we went back to the room to chill out and as it got later we heard lots of loud thunder so looked out of our room to inspect. There were thai kids in the pool and a man who hurried them to get out and when daniel stepped out near the beach he said the lightning was right above us and there were just bright flashes of light and i got scared and began singing "favourite things" from the sound of music. We went back into our room to watch some idiot abroad and eat our snacks before going to
