Phuket honeymoon 3

Davie found a good magazine so I have time for one more lot of pictures...
We found this fantastic spot on Rawaii Beach, on one side of the road are BBQ's and little shack type cafe's and then across the road on the beach are these little short legged tables on mats. The view is fantastic and the seafood is really cheap - their fried rice was DELISH!!! Lots of locals seem to eat there too.This little guys name is Charlie - we met Charlie after our Elephant ride, he and his girlfriend come down from the tree's everyday (usually when there are Banana's on the go) He apparently was taken from his Mum and misses being preened by her - so he gets you to do it for you!! Very strange - but cute!

This was the view from our room yesterday - palm frond pruning!! No ladders - no harness - no workplace "occ health and safety" reps! Then again - that might be the lady in green below, but from what I saw, she was only on the lookout for guests!

Scooter time!!
If you want to add excitement and adventure (not to mention 10yrs) to your life then hiring a scooter and rocking around Phuket in monsoonal rain is for YOU!!! At times it was not for me - however I was committed and had no choice - it was hang on or hurt!!!!
(Speaking of hurt!! My derrierre may never be the same!!!) Luckily for us there is a fantastic spa - massage place called "lets relax" its fantastic and the prices are great!!! We have spent a LOT of time in there!

This is Patong at night - where I think the place looks a lot better - during the day time you can see too much - but then again there are times at night when you can see tooooo much!! If you know Phuket - then you know what I mean!
We are having a great time - will update again soon.

Hello from PHUKET!

Here we are in Sunny phuket - I have written a whole "thing" on our travels so far - but for some reason I cant copy and paste - so I shall include the very basics as we are nearly out of time here at the internet thingy...

The hotel/resort is lovely - we got the honeymoon extra's - check out the rose petal lovehearts on the bed.









THERE ARE SHOES AND HANDBAGS!!! THEY ARE CHEAP!!







And Dave likes my chocolate croissants - note to self - I should eat them instead of taking photos of him devouring my food!!!

So far - a great time to be had - weather hasn't been brilliant - but we are enjoying nevertheless!!
Update sooN!

ps: got attacked by a monkey!

We're going on a Honeymoon!!!

Only one week to go before we head to Perth to go off on our Honeymoon. We collected our tickets from Censina, our travel agent at Flight Centre, yesterday, she was great - gave us some choccies and bubbly (I "baggsied" the Chocs of course!)
This is a photo of our hotel in Phuket, the Merlin Beach Resort. Look at that pool eh?
This coming weekend we will see us packing our bags and getting ready for the trip and also some painting and work on our rental property here in Gero... as the tenants moved out today.
One week to go - one week to go - one week to go.....

When a day looks bleak

yesterday was a bad day.....
it started when I woke up to Dave giving me a gentle nudge to tell me that it was 8.00am.... NOOOO - I really didn't want to play the "get up and go" game... no not at all... by the time i had showered and got ready I had 10 minutes to get myself to Macca's for my coffee salvation and get on to work...
After stressfully waiting in the absurdly long queue of cars in the drivethru they gave me the grave news that their coffee machine was broken..... aaarrggh!

I was left with no time to go anywhere else and had to go to work empty handed... I couldn't even get Davie to go and get me a coffee - some rubbish about being in class and exams... hmmpf!
Eventually I decided that things were looking pretty drastic and I had to take extreme measures for my much needed caffeine hit, I humbled myself and got a coffee from the canteen - siiiigh!
and so began a day without good coffee...

This experience brought to mind a saying I read in a colleagues office....

"Bad Coffee is the kind of stuff that starts wars, harms kittens and generally brings the world closer to the brink of destruction."

(unknown)

and yesterday it seemed so very true...
