Fine
and sunny 26 to 32deg C
Even
though I had nothing to get up for, do you think I could sleep in, no way. Up
before the sun again and after making a cuppa in the room, I went out walking
with Bob. Breakfast wasn’t till 0900h so plenty of time to kill. Seeing there’s
a beach nearby, no better place for an early morning wander. The extent of the
bars and restaurants right on the beach is staggering, they go on for kms. All
the building and digging going on in the sand is having a devastating impact on
the beach structure, with signs of erosion everywhere. They are attempting to
prevent any further damage by putting sandbags down, but it would work only
until the next storm or high tide. Sitting in an old, dilapidated hut drinking
beer all day is not my scene but plenty of people must like it or there
wouldn’t be as many places open. Very much like the tourist traps in Cambodia
and Vietnam.
Back
to the hotel for breakfast. The owner had asked us what we wanted and ordered
in supplies of cereal, etc to suit our western tastes. It was a nice change
from the Indian food we’d been getting along the ride.
Most
of the day was spent wandering around the town, lounging around the pool or
beach and knocking out zzzz in our rooms. The highlight of the day was the
final dinner with the four UK guys who are flying home Sunday, tomorrow. A
fantastic meal, with live entertainment (Philippine singer) made for a great
night. I had the chicken tikka biryani which was delicious, full of herbs and
spices, just nicely hot. Got back to the hotel about 2130h, one of the latest
nights of the tour.
