15th January 2014 – Rosie dives again!

This morning I met Rosie at ‘Zest’ for breakfast   ..it was a rather late start for us all, I think the activities were finally catching up with us all.  Earlier on that morning, I’d called Crystal to stick the 3 of us on the afternoon boat to fun dive as this would be the last chance for Rosie to dive due to her flying on the 16th.
The dives were brilliant, although it is full moon, high tide and pretty rough, the visibility was really good.  The first dive was at Twins, which Rosie had been before a couple of times but that didn’t matter as we headed out to what’s called the ‘Secret pinnacle’ and didn’t see a soul, the 2nd dive was at White Rock, where  we had at least 20 meters visibility.  There was just an abundance of fish  ..just a lovely way to finish.  Simon took his big boy camera, so expect some footage to appear very soon. 
When we got back to land, Rosie and I headed back to her hotel for a quick cuppa and then decided to go for an oil massage.  OMG  it was amazing!!!   If only they were a cheap and as good in the UK.
For Rosie’s last evening, we headed down to Crystal as she wanted to watch the Open Water movies from that day (as Rosie loves them) and met up with the crew for a couple of beers.  For Rosie’s last meal, we headed to ‘Whitening’ where we had a delicious last meal.

14th January 2014 – Chill out day

A lazy day today!  …after Si dropped me down at Crystal, I walked along the beach to the Regal to find Rosie out on her balcony watching the divers in the pool.  Today ‘s definitely a quiet day as it’s been pretty full on since Rosie’s arrived.   I should think she’ll need another holiday after this one LOL.
As Kirsty our lodger had the day off, she came down to meet us by the pool to chill.  After sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, we went to ‘Pranees’ for lunch where I ordered an assortment of Thai dishes that Rosie had yet to try.  It was rather a lot but hey ho  ..we left with very full tummies.  
On route back to the hotel, Rosie’s bought a pair of sun glasses and popped into a little craft/jewelry shop which had a necklace that matched her earrings that she was given. 
Café Del Sol was the venue for this evenings dinner.  I copied Rosie by having a Chicken Milano  ..very tasty!

13th January 2014 – Investigating Haad Tien

Haad Tien is where Fiona & Chris will be staying when they come to visit.   
Rosie and I started walking and yes it was a bit of journey to check out the resort.  I think walking in the midday sun was a bit of a mistake.   I’d been there but it’s not quite as enjoyable as going with your big sis.  
I think Fiona & Chris will like the resort very much, it’s beautiful and clean and good snorkeling.  Rosie and I saw half a dozen black tip shark and some huge schools of parrot and rabbit fish.  There is a huge turtle that is a resident of the bay but unfortunately we didn’t see him.  The grounds are very peaceful and the apartments are well spaced.   The pool is fresh water and Chloe and Iona are going to love it.  

The walk back was a struggle, most of it was up hill and because Rosie wanted to see our house, we had a detour uphill 😀   When we finally arrived, Rosie collapsed on the sofa and slept for an hour, I had a snooze too.  

That evening we went to the Muay Thai (kick boxing) in Sairee.  It was good fun, 

Simon and I had a little flutter of 20baht per fight with Rosie and Kirsty and came out with 120bht profit   YAY!!!!
