20 Dec - 25 Dec 2006
These five days are planned to be spent doing little, enjoying some sun and surfing.
Neither of these work out overly well, but its a well deserved time of rest all the same. After being on the road for three months a holiday from aholiday seems in order.
It is muggier here than Mancorra, and the water is much warmer. Surprising seeing its only a few hundred km further north. This is on the cloudless days... which are few.... and when the clouds are out its warm but not hot. At night its actualy cold!!
We stay on the top floor (fourth) of the highest building in town. Our room is a shoe box, but has nice views over the beach, and hammocks, where we end up spending most of our time, reading loads.
The town itself reminds me of Kuta or Haad Rin,just smaller. The cool bars etc are on a stip all of 100m long. There are locals hippies selling necklaces etc along the strip and over five days we recognise all of them. Its a small town all right.
I cant help but think after a couple of days that we might be better off back in Thailand really... Its nice here, but as said its cloudy, and the surf is never that great. But when i think about it for a while, its comparitively expensive.. for example (all in US$)
room
here $10 Thai $2.50
breakfast
here $2.50 Thai .50c
