Just a quick post here as there's not all that much to report to Phuket... except that I am sooo sooo excited that the weather is okay! After looking at a dreadful forecast of thunderstorms for the foreseeable future, I was almost reevaluating the first half of the trip, but on the plane as we got closer to Phuket the weather got better and better, to be greeted off the plane with warm sunshine!! Hooray.... I've waited for the moment for so long.It took quite a while to reach Karon (after waiting in the longest passport control I've ever experienced at the airport and then being the lucky last stop on the minibus) but we finally arrived and got straight into it with some pad thai and chang beer at the cute hotel bar/restaurant! I love how cheap it is here - not even 2 quid for a meal and a nice one at that, and the 7-11 sells chang tallies for 38 baht - not even 80 pence each :-) Gav was also pretty stoked to buy a pack of ciggies for just over a pound!
We wandered down to the beach ( a small trek) and walked to Kata, the next beach and just wandered along the street markets and restaurants pretty much and got ourselves a pair of sunnies each since I was nearly blinded I've gotten too used to London grey skies.Although my feet are killing me from wearing thongs (flip-flops for the English reading this) which I haven't worn for at least 8 months.
Tomorrow we're hitting the beach for some sun! Pray that the weather is good. Love to all.... xox
