A Lazy Summer Day

Thursday got off to a great start.  After sleeping in we headed to breakfast around 9 AM.  We had a quick meal (overcooked eggs again) then spent time reading by the hilltop pool.  Around 11 we headed back to the room where I actually got a p90x workout in.  After working out and playing on the computer for a bit we headed back to the hilltop pool to eat some Pad Thai.

When we arrived at the hilltop pool the crew was setting up a chef's station salad bar.  We sat down and one of the guys ran over to take our drink order.  With nothing to do we figured a champagne lunch was in order.  About the time our bottle came the Chef's station was complete.  Katie and I were served an authentic Thai Salad which was mostly fruit mixed with spicy chili sauce,,,, it was cold to the touch and hot to the taste.  After lunch we swam, read and sipped champagne in the pool until just before 2 when it was time for our spa appointments.  We had two very relaxing massages which ended just before 4 pm.

At 4 pm we headed to the Thai language class.  Something to note; at this point in our day we hadn't seen one other non-employee at the resort.  We arrived at the designated spot for the language class and no one was around. A few minutes later one of the crew showed up and asked if he could help us.  We explained we were there for a language class and he said "Oh, sure thing",,, he grabbed a few pencils and some worksheets.  For the next hour the three of us sat there trying to teach/learn this very difficult language.  It was a lot of fun.

Around 5 we headed back to the room and did nothing for about 2 hours before getting ready for dinner.  We both took outdoor showers but somehow I managed to break the big clay light in the shower.  I had been using it as a towel rack and when I went to retrieve my towel the whole thing came crashing down,,, pieces went everywhere.   When I got back in the bedroom to call the front desk and let them know, I noticed rodent crap on the freshly made bed.  Ut oh.  Katie mentioned hearing something running around while she was reading earlier in the evening.  I let the front desk know,,, they said they would take care of it.

We went to the main restaurant at the bottom of the mountain and we were quickly seated.  The restaurant had every table in the place set with candles going, etc, etc, etc and we were the only ones there.   We were told there are 2 other couples at the resort but they were nowhere to be found.

We ordered some beef appetizer and two main dishes; 1) Yellow Curry Chicken and 2) Asian Noodles with Beef.  The entire meal was awesome but we ate way to much.  Our Thai server, Prine, kept us entertained the whole time.  He had lived in Australia for 6 years so his English was fantastic.  He also suggested a few different beers for us to try.  The beer went really well with the spicy food.

After dinner we checked out the main bar on the island,,, it was open but nobody was there so we just went back to the room to watch some TV and enjoy the AC.  We got back to clean sheets and as best we could tell,,,, no mouse.  That was it,,,, a lazy summer day here in Phuket,,,, no complaints.
