Today ... We Turned Right! 😉

We've been here for nine days and aside from from going to a new restaurant for lunch on one occasion ... we always turn left!
So, today, we thought we'd hang a right and see what we might find! To our good fortune, there was a Wine Cellar! We got excited for a moment until we realized that we could get two or three bottles of wine for the same price as one here! So ... we left empty handed!
I couldn't get my mind off having a other foot massage, so ... headed back to East by South Health Massage! Even the old boy was eager to to get pampered again. I panicked a bit when 'my girl' was no where in sight! English is fairly limited, but somehow I was able to convey that I wanted the same massage therapist. And, within minutes, she came walking through the front door! I was so delighted to see her! 😍
The old boy was happy to try someone new! And, he's really glad he did. He said this second foot massage was even better the first time! I know this to be true because he dozed off a couple of times! I could tell because he snarfled a couple of times! 😉
I was very happy with mine as well. She incorporated even more Thai stretching into this one after she had me sit up in order to massage my back, neck and head!
We headed back to the room for a pit stop and before we knew it ... it was 1:30pm. Sheesh! Time flies when you are busy being relaxed! We figured it would be wise to eat something because dinner was going to be later than usual this evening.
We are scheduled to meet the Wheel & Anchor crew at Prego for pizza! One of the things that has really impressed me about this tour company is that it gives you ample opportunity to socialize as a group ... or ... not. 🙌👍👏
We determined that Mit Samui would be a good choice for lunch because it is right next door to the place we can purchase reasonably priced wine! The old boy couldn't resist the red curry with chicken and I ordered the crispy spring rolls again!
I didn't see wine on the menu but when I went to the bathroom, I saw wine in their cooler!!! 👏👏👏👏 Turns out that I didn't need to drink water after all! And, it was a nice healthy pour for $180BAT! I could not have been more delighted!
The walk to and from the restaurant was so oppressively hot that we quickly changed into our swim wear and headed to the beach. The breeze off the water always makes it feel a few degrees cooler!
I couldn't believe how different the water looked!! It was shallower and calmer than it has EVER been before. We actually walked all the way out to the sand bar and the water never got higher tha 3 or 4 feet! The water was as clear as drinking water! And, by gosh ... it felt heavenly to get wet! I'm still wearing sleeves as my rash is slowly improving, but not gone yet.
We were lazing on the chaise loungers in the shade when the old boy got a hankering for some more of the sweet pineapple he had previously purchased on the beach. He got another bowl full and was once again declaring that this was the "best 🍍" he has ever tasted! 🤣 I have to agree that pineapple never tastes this good at home.
Although the temperature was stifling hot, I found myself getting chilled in the shade with my long (and now wet) sleeves on. So, I went for a walk on the beach to dry off a bit! It felt good to get some steps in the sunshine!
The old boy was snoozing when I got back. It was good to see him so relaxed! A couple of very nice ladies from our group were on the chairs nearby and one of them was snoozing too. She had lost a hat earlier during this trip ... so ... the old boy pilfered the one on her lap! 🤣 He'll give it back when we meet for dinner!
The old boy played some Bridge online while we sipped some wine and I was writing this! Both of us are enjoying the a/c. It's only set at 22°C but it feels so refreshing because it's 12°C cooler that it is outside!
Our day ended with a nice gathering of all the people in our Wheel & Anchor group! The pizza was good but the white wine was probably the best I've had since we arrived in Thailand. And, more importantly, the conversations were wonderful ... and ... we had a private air-conditioned room!
All in all, it was another lovely day! We are very much ready for bed now. Its 9:08pm! Hope you all enjoyed a good day too! See you tomorrow!
Much love,
