Day 8 – Friday 28th October 2005

Well, yup, it is. Another slightly dickie tummy that was dealt with immediately at 6am, all good. Burn is tired today, you can see it in her eyes. Problem is though – it’s scorchio and there ain’t no way she is going to miss those rays! Brekkie at 9am, left Hym0rs and Curtis, we sorted out the sun bed situation, got 4 together on the beach, we were quite lucky, the hotel is packed and there were not many beds left to be honest. I say we got four beds, I never actually sat on mine, it was TOO HOT. Hym0rs appeared with the ball so it was straight down for some action, but the doofus had pumped it up too hard and it was too sore to kick! Hehehe. Burnsie took some zoomed in action photos, here are a few that turned out pretty good:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…. Yup.

103, 104, 105….. hehehe

GERONIMO!!! Spot the ball time!
Couple of people in the crowd watching on though!

Went for a walk after footy because I couldn’t lie down in the searing heat nor could I stand still because the sand was too hot. Must have walked a couple of km by the time I got bored and turned back, although I did see some nice properties on the beach front, check it:


This was a biggie, looks as though it was empty though.

That’s the sort of place you wanna be owning.

Hotels are made big in this country.

Cue the Riverboat Song….

Don’t believe in Digital Zoom by the way.

Sat down in the shade and read the entire Bangkok Post in the ‘Apple’ Lobby whilst the others burnt themselves for no reason at all in the sun. Took me the best part of an hour, but I can’t be bothered starting my Dan Brown book, Deception Point. I’ve got a mental block about starting the damned thing! Anyway, it passed the time and I didn’t get burnt, whish I could say the same about Burn’s feet and fore-arms though! Still, plenty of time for them to blend in!

Just before we went out – Mr Hym0rs revealed that he was actually a former Prime Minister of Russia….

Friday night on the town and we bumped into Hym0rs head-butting mate on the way home, and there was an exchange of heads again!! Hahaha. Went to Papa John’s for our meal – had Tomato Soup, Spaghetti Bolognese and some Draft Singha. Burn had her usual local dish sortta thing. Went for a walk and had a few drinks in a bar called Monsoon, Curtis bought some shoes. Stopped off at a random bar on the way back and Mr Bean was on the big screen, had a laff at that for a while. Fed some random cats then hit the 7-11 before the head butting incident and a tuk-tuk home.

Another photo taken on the timer….another success!

W00f!!!

Did a financial review, I’ve spent £100 and that’s eating and drinking every day without scrimping and saving, Burn has spent a hundred too. Such a cheap country. Hym0rs and I were discussing that if you came over with £100 you could make that last you for two weeks without any major scrimping and saving. As Burn says though, we are doing it the right way – Brekkie is included so we don’t eat until 8.30ish for our dinner, only a BK now and again for lunch. Anyway, enough spraffing, time to hit the sack…..I think it’s going to be another scorcher tomorrow!
