We slept in this morning! We didn’t have breakfast until after 8.00! Kaoru cooked our last omlette (for Dad as well). It was a pretty casual day (the last one here). We potted around and got our suitcases packed. Then all said goodbye and Kaoru and I went to the airport at 11 to have our own holiday. There was a line just to get in to the airport (which included baggage scanning). Check-in was easy, then some lunch at the airport, and on our way to Koh Samui. We were in row 18, which was the back row of the plane, and it was full (small twin turbo-prop). The scenery as we took off was great, but it wasn’t long until we were both asleep. The next thing I knew was a bump as we landed, so I missed the scenery of the approach :(. Beautiful airport (bungalow shacks for the terminal). Got our bag, and then to our transfer to the hotel. Checked in and found our room. Not as nice as what we had been staying in in Phuket. Big bed, but no storage space to unpack our bags. It was raining and the forecast wasn’t looking very good for the next few days. At least it was warm though – a very comfortable temperature as not too hot (thanks to the rain). By the time we had unpacked the rain had stopped, so we walked along the beach for 45 minutes or so, and then through to the main street. Stopped for a craft beer – by coincidence a jointly brewed beer with an Australian company. Continued walking back to hotel. Bought a T-shirt. Stopped for dinner at a restaurant. Also found a 7-11 and bought a beer and a ginger ale (for the fridge :)). Passed hotel (dropped things off) and went for massage. Just had reflexology this time (first time). Fell asleep during it – woken by a part of the treatment (poking the foot). Happened both legs! Kaoru slept too, so we decided it was bed time. Back to hotel and early to bed (10.30).
