Off to Phuket

With the school closing for a holiday, and Maile and the ESL teachers heading off to do their own thing, i didn't really see much point in hanging around at the school. I have a flight back to Bangkok from Phuket booked for Monday so decided to head to Phuket for the rest of my trip. It's not what i had planned but the school is deserted and there's nothing around within walking distance other than the beach (which is stunning but we're in the middle of monsoon season). After waiting for an hour for the bus to Phuket, i gave up and Khun Lak arranged me a taxi. I arrived just after lunchtime and found my way to the hotel i'd booked online the night before. It was a welcome relief to find the water running freely in the shower!! I made the most of a hot shower for the first time in three days! I had a wander around the local area, came across a Catholic church and a stunning Bhuddist Temple (both closed). I found a great place to eat near the hotel, no English alphabet menu, so it's anyone's guess as to what i ate - it tasted delicious though, so absolutely no complaints. I had my first great night's sleep last night too. So all in all, am a happy chappy today!
