The James Bond Island Trip was stunning but a whole day out in the sun for two old toppies took it’s toll and we were quite exhausted that night.  The next day we slept in late and after breakfast just chilled for the rest of the morning. At 12 we both had a Swedish massage Thai style which was fantastic.
It rained quite a bit in the morning but at about 2:30 Earl felt peckish and wanted to find a place to get a snack. We ended up walking all the way to Patong Beach, not the most pleasant walk because of lack of pavements and hectic on-coming traffic. We found a cafe with a view of the beach and enjoyed a gin and tonic (me) and beer 🍻 (Earl). Our snack was a plate of spring rolls which we shared.

Fun on Bangla Beach – No The Earl wouldn’t let me do it!

Then we walked to Bangla Road – a fair distance –  to catch the shuttle back to the hotel. I was very proud of Earl making the distance without too much of a fuss.

The Original Shipwreck Cafe in Bangla Road – NOT the one in Struisbaai!

It was 5:30 by the time we got home.  We went down for supper at 8. I had sweet and sour pork and The Earl had prawns. I couldn’t finish – far too much food.
