Our Global Gallivants
Today is a transit day. The van picks us up at 11:30 for the drive to Phuket. We will drop Clement and Bonnie off first at the airport and then on to Kata beach where we will stay for the next 5 days. That was a twisty, windy, 2 1/2 hour ride here. Hopefully on the way back to the airport they can use a different route that avoids the center of town. We saw 2 accidents on the way-a lady lying in the middle of the road with her smashed up scooter nearby. The other was a chubby lady on a scooter with 2 passengers-a baby and another woman. The scooter just tipped over and they all fell off in the road. A nearby security guard ran into the street to get the mom and baby. Someone else righted the scooter but the woman was still laying there when we went around them.
I realized last night that I left my rash guard swim shirt hanging on the rope that divides the property from the beach. Looked for it this morning, but it's a goner. Luckily, I pack a long sleeved one as well.
After we unpacked, we walked to the beach to check it out. While the sand and water was nice, there were loads of people on the beach.
We were hungry and we happened to notice a local market set up that fronts the beach. It goes on for blocks. We snacked on some barbecued ribs, barbecued chicken, Jody had some ice cream and we had a virgin mojito. After we ate, we went back to the hotel to swim.
Dinner was at a restaurant down the street.
