Pick up at 8:10. Very loud family with three kids got in the van. Arrived at check in. I wasn’t on the list. Showed my QR code. Was shown to a room offering coffee, tea and snacks but no milk or cream. Took a black tea and tried a bun. Tasted exactly like a Twinkie!
At least some other people arrived. I can see elephants roaming around in enclosures and can smell them. Not in an offensive way.
After feeding the elephants the balls we made from rice, coconut, tamarind, palm sugar, we broke into two groups. I went with the group with no screaming children. I was disappointed so many were not wearing masks. It was probably not too dangerous for me but showed an attitude.
We went to other elephants and he told their story and explained how they had lost precious time during Covid when there were no tourists.
They still had to feed the elephants. The elephants are fed premium products.
Then we saw an elephant take a bath. Then two elephants covered themselves in mud.
Last we had a light lunch of fruit, French fries and a green desert with a gel like consistency.
Next I laid on the beach for about two hours. Then I went for my 2:00pm scheduled massage.
She found tender places I knew and didn’t know about. If only massages were this inexpensive in the States!
After that I decided to jump into the ocean. Such a warm & beautiful day here. And it would be my last time in the ocean for another six months!
Then I decided I would go out for dinner. I hate to admit, I don’t really crave Thai food every day. I haven’t found any new loves. Perhaps masselman curry - but would it taste that good the next time as my first night in Phuket? I may try making it at home.
Now I am at Armando’s. A reviewer said the cordon blue was good. I imagined it was chicken, but on the menu it’s pork. I was wondering if it would be on the menu tonight? I saw a billboard outside the restaurant and it was on it. This made me go inside because it sounded good, and not Thai food. I will eat Thai food again for sure.
Thinking back, I did not get to a restaurant my first night here and I regret it. I started to walk down the beach but the tide was in so I had to go to the street, and didn’t want to make my way to the restaurants. I will miss the beachside restaurant!
Tomorrow - onto Bangkok!Leia mais
