Sunday and sawadee kah...

sunday morning and the sun is shining...an early morning walk on the beach....about an hour at 8am and we were feeling a tad cooked. no one swimming in the ocean...or i should say the andaman sea. it is SO warm, it feels like tahiti. apparently it is dangerous to swim out off many of the beaches because it gets deep so quickly and there is a tremendous undertow. we waded out a little but felt that the warnings should be respected...how rare for us....

up to the pool for our selected lounges for the day.... we were pampered and shaded and brought ice water all day long.

what a pool! it is about 75 meters long...for those international people of you who go with the metric flow. a baby elephant wandering about to our delight and and people watching galore! There is also a north pool right near our condo that is pretty darn neat!!...very jungly.

we dipped in and out of the water all day long to stay cool and that combined with the breeze off the water made it soooo wonderful. we were so indulged!!

we did however get a tad too much sun even with our careful shade umbrellas and sunscreen...but not too badly. karel was the one who was really good and no burning at all.

after a refreshing shower and walk around the grounds to explore our surroundings a bit more...we stopped at the andaman grill, and had an amazing dinner and wine...our splurge for the day. yum...and an outside dining area with open sides to see the sea with an incredible light show as it rained and lighteninged all through our dinner..... fabulous!!

back to our room for relaxing and moisturizer....and gallons more water....this is one hot place.
