Phuket - Thailand

Phuket het ons vergas vir 5 dae. Believe me we needed the rest...
And what better place to take a break from shopping than an island in South East Asia.

Here we are at FantaSea Island. On our way to watch an award winning show in the Elephant Castle.




The next day was lying in the sun, get massages, foot therapy and getting really "psyched" for our trip to the James Bond Island by long tail boat. (that means noisy and wet)

The wheather throughout our holiday was cloudy with sunny patches here and there.












Even the small places where we went had flea markets with people begging to buy something at again American prices. To them there is no difference between westerners - if you can afford to be there - you can buy a shark tooth necklace for 1000baths - (R200) - if you really want it you can get them down to R15, but you're so tired negotiating all the time that it's better to go without than to go through the whole rickmarole of not being cheated out of your well earned holiday pocket money.

We also took a ride in the canoes on the wide open ocean. Some pleaces we had to lie down flat to be able to get through some narrow and low hanging openings.
