The most part of the day was spent sleeping under the air conditioner in our room and in the swimming pool. After the previous night, it was definitely much needed rest and relaxation. I had a ripper session in our swimming pool, followed by some Thai take-away, which I picked up just down the street.
Once night fell, Jarrad and I went for a walk and yet again bumped into Sophie and Ali, had a bite to eat, a couple beers and then back to the hotel for an early night.
Today we woke up early to take advantage of the free breakfast which is put on by our hotel, it wasn’t fantastic, but I cant really complain too much about free food I suppose.
We went back up to our room, had a quick nap and walked to the beach. We bartered with a few taxi drivers to see how much it would cost to do an elephant tour, ATV riding and some white water rafting. They’re all fairly competitive with one and other so it is easy to knock a few hundred baht of the prices.
Just for today we settled on going to the shooting range near the Kathu Waterfalls, we didn’t muck around and took charge of a .45 magnum. The blokes ran us through how to hold the gun, how to fire it and let us have some shots at some targets.
It was insane how much power there was in this thing, I’d hate to imagine how much damage it would do to a person.
From there, the tuk tuk driver we’d hired drove us over the Kathu Waterfalls and we spend some time wandering up to the top there, we got some amazing photos. It was very nice to see the natural side of Phuket, as opposed to the side where its all built up, and you’re treated like a giant walking wallet.
After this Jarrad and I sat down to a generous helping of Thai food and walked to the beach. I grabbed a book and sat on the beach reading while Jarrad took the chance to hire a Jet-Ski for half an hour. He looked like he had fun.
The weather outside is very hot, its kind of uncomfortable out there, so we have retired back to our room, for a bit of a nap and perhaps a dip in the pool.
