I keep having this recurring dream, no, nightmare, where I Am basking on the beach and this rather large Japanese fishing vessel tries to harpoon me. Were it not for the timely intervention from some members of Green Peace, I might well be just another statistic. As I am about to express my gratitude to my rescuers, these peaceniks had the audacity to try rolling me back into the water. Message to self — stay away from the beach.<\/p>\n
It has been said that youth is wasted on the young. The same can be said for the perfect tan. There is something different about a tan on smooth young skin, where it all attains a golden glow, without the splotches and creases found on the Geritol set. It begins to look as though everyone over twenty starts to take on the appearance of a sun-dried tomato. The other day, while on the beach, [I just don’t learn] I determined that it would be possible to make Bruschetta for a lifetime from that beach alone.<\/p>\n

Our time is very nearly finished at Khao Lak. It has certainly been relaxing — very nearly too much so. The sun comes up to start another gorgeous day, we eat some more delicious Thai food at one of a number of nearby restaurants, we walk on a soft sand beach and view another beautiful sunset — repeat as required. I understand that we are now off to Bangkok for a few days so that should be exciting.<\/p>\n
I will update again as we have wi-fi access.
