Valentines day, I woke up at about the same time as Sarah. I said 'good morning' she said 'can I have my present now', I went to the wardrobe to get it, her with her eyes closed and put it on her lap. It was a massive flat round parcel and as soon as I told her to open her eyes she said 'arrrhhh thanks, it's a sky lantern, that's thoughtful and romantic' I thought how do you know it's a sky lantern but to be fair it must have been pretty obvious. She opened it and looked very happy so I must have done good (you can tell when I get presents wrong there is a sombre atmosphere in the camp, a bit like when someone farts in a lift). We got up and dressed and decided to go to a beach around the corner so we waited for a 'showaddywaddy' (songui) I don't know why I kept calling them that, when we were waiting Sarah announced 'I am going to stand on the back step all the way', sounded a little dangerous but 'danger' is my middle name, anyway one stopped and everyone piled in, it was a fine looking showaddywaddy and indeed I thought I wouldn't mind hanging out the back of that, so we did hang out the back of it. It was much fun. We winded to the top of a hill and we could see the sea below so we rang the buzzer. We walked down a steep hill until we got to the beach and again it was very busy but very beautiful. There weren't many people at this time but there was an awful lot of sun loungers and brolleys. We then walked back up the ruddy steep hill to the next beach along on the way back to our accommodation it was only 100 yards closer, when we got there it was again very busy but very nice. It was though too busy for us to want to stay (not that we are after a private beach or owt but this took the biscuit), we decided to rock climb around a corner again edging closer to our beach, the showaddywaddy took about ten minutes so it was probably about a mile and a bit, we climbed up and over every rock that got in our way and after about ten minutes found quite a secluded flat big rock so stayed there for a little while soaking up a few rays. I climbed up a massive bolder that was on the flat rock and tried to do a handstand, this was a silly dangerous idea and resulted in a cut knee again. We kept exploring and the rocks were warm, we passed some rock pools which were teaming with crabs, some of them quite big, they looked tasty. We walked that far that we were now closer to our beach than the one that the showaddywaddy had dropped us off at. So we just kept going, about half a mile from our beach my flip flops became a nuisance and I kept slipping my feet out of them, every step took ages as I put my foot back into them and nursed the foot as it kept slipping on sharp rocks, Sarah was motoring ahead of me now - I looked like a right fairy. I took my flip flops off and went on bare foot. Apart from having to check your next step for sharp stone or broken shells it was a lot easier as my toes curled around the stones and I caught up with the girl, it felt like I was stalking (Sarah). We made it round to our beach and completed the last bit by wading through the sea. We got there just in time because a tree house bar had just fired up the BBQ, we laid our towels out and bathed in the sun. When I smelt the sweet BBQ smell I ran over and was the first customer. A chap from Ecuador was cooking them up. We then spent a further hour or so at the beach. We then headed for a hotel with a pool, we found a posh one on the beach - it was fancy. I went to get a drink at the bar and Sarah went in the pool, we then noticed that everyone had hotel towels. There was a stand with the towels on near the edge of the bar. Calmly and quickly I went over and signed out two towels under room 1118. We then sat around the pool for a couple of hours. About 15:00 we went back to the room, the bar I had tried to watch the football in the day before had a sign outside, as a Valentines Day treat any lady that was in there after 20:00 got a free pina colada. We showered and changed and then headed for the beach with the sky lantern and a pack of beers. We prated around on the beach for a while and watched the sunset, it was just about dark when we were plagued with an attack of flying ants, they were everywhere. They were the stupidest most annoying insects ever and could easily be squashed as they didn't move. We moved up the beach to try and escape but they were there too, Sarah got one up her gonga and made a very silly noise as she forced air through her nostrils to dislodge it. I have to say it ruined the Valentines moment really as we tried to light the sky lantern. It was quite a b***** to light, Sarah held the corners of the paper lantern and we tried not to burn it before it took off. It filled with the hot air from the burning element but wouldn't fly. After about five minutes and five hundred fly attacks it started to rise. I let it go and she went soaring into the sky. It was a triumph - a momentous occasion, it went higher than any others I had seen. We hugged whilst it went to space until we couldn't see it any more. Then we headed for a free pina colada, we walked into the bar (ouch) and I said 'one beer and a pina colada please' the response was 'one beer and a what?' 'a pina colada please' still nothing, everyone else at the bar was pointing at there pina colada's and saying 'one of these' still a very confused Thai lady stared back at me, sweet baby Jesus and Mary Jane 'a pina colada' the Baht dropped and she produced a pina colada. Sarah didn't like the bar and she said it reminded her of a working man's club, she then asked what a working man's club was so how she managed to come to that conclusion I am not sure. We headed back to the room and watched a celebrity episode of 'come dine with me' with Sir Roy 'king of the catchphrase' Walker, Les Battesby (from Corrie), Natasha (from Atomic Kitten) and some bewer from Ghost Hunt (I'd never heard of her but her salmon looked good). After that sleepy time.
