...And Relax!
After a pretty manic start to our adventure, visiting 4 countries in 2 weeks we have hit our Thai island for some long anticipated r & r. We have spent the last 5 days in a lovely resort, right on the beach and not done a whole lot other than soak up the rays by the pool! Our one day of adventuring beyond the resort involved hiring a scooter and exploring some more of the island including the largest town on the island with a nice little market ...
Peeing in the rain
... the last 4 months on the open road our feet were crying out for a good pampering. We paid £4 each to have about 15 layers of dead skin stripped away from our battered feet.
