Big Rains

Day two was another lazy, eat breakfast by the pool and do the crossword until 2pm, day. When we finally got hungry again, we headed down to the main hotel to grab some lunch by the beach. We stopped at the shop to get me a snazzy 'Amanpuri' baseball cap to protect my balding head. We had spent all morning under an umbrella, but apparently the UV bends around such things and can get you.

After lunch (stir-fried roast duck, yum. this trip is all about the food.) we went down to the beach for 10 minutes of swimming before the rain hit. The waves eerily stopped just before the wind picked up and the rain came down. We weathered the storm in the bar, finishing off the Sunday crossword from two weeks ago and drinking beer. The most important word I have learned after kop koom kap (thank you) is Singha (the local brand of beer).

Once the rain stopped we went over and got the complementary tea and thai pancakes (little crepes with some sweet coconut milk custard and fruit filling). After filling up on those, we decided dinner was not needed. We went bk to the room and crashed at 9:30. Another good day!
