Easy day

I've promised to take things a little easier on myself today as I'm constantly pushing myself to do things and in this heat its exhausting. I have been recommended a little coffee shop and I'm delighted when they have caramel macchiato on the menu I go the full hog and have a pain aux raisin with it. I've also booked to have my nails done as yesterday I kicked a kerb whilst walking along the seafront not only splitting my big toe open but also taking all the shellac off two of my toes. Even though I've booked an appointment I wait over an hour to get seen but they are so efficient I'm not even bothered, I have to realise I'm on Thai time and I've still got over 10 months of travel left. I feel like a new woman with my nails done. I spend the rest of the day by the pool under an umbrella. After a shower and change I go to a little restaurant then head to watch the game in the Irish bar. The young lads at the pool Henry and James two 18 Yr old on a gap year recommended this place as I'd wanted to watch the game and shoot some pool and this place had all of that. Walking down Bangla road otherwise kn??rown as walking street is one of the main attractions in Patong its filled with gogo bars anrzd loud music and is the hub of nightlife here. It upsets me sometimes to see this blatant display of sexual prowess by such young girls but they all know what they're doing I guess. I walk the length of the street looking for the Irish bar and as I walk back realise I'd walked straight past it. I grab a table and double check they are showing the game and start chatting to a young couple Bea and Mike who are from Somerset and travelling for a year. Hallelujah someone as crazy as me. They tell me the bars are supposed to close at 9 but we get taken inside and while I watch the liverpool game Mike and Bea watch the Arsenal game at the other end of the bar. A Scottish guy comes in ( I know this cos he's in a kilt) and offers to buy me a drink and even though I refuse he buys me one anyway. He comes and sits by the bar and I try and keep conversation light and he keeps brushing his leg against me. The "mama" Of the bar isnt happy either as i think she has other plans for him and he I feel uncomfortable and head to the toilet telling Mike and bea the situation. After 5 mins bea comes and sits next to me and jock the cock soon loses interest. With a successful win the night ends well and I make my way home alone thank god.Read more
