Jackpot

This morning was a full on lie in with nothing to do till half eleven morning. We woke at Haad Yao beach under an imposing limestone karst that juts impressively out onto the Andaman Sea.
Breakfast consisted of a cross between porridge and chicken soup with proper bits of chicken in it. I thought it was lovely but Sue wasn't so keen.
We got some serious sunbathing in on a beach which would have been paradise but for a ubiquitous football pitch and so much rubbish.
We re packed and checked out, then headed down to the pier at the allotted time of 12:15. One by one the westerners started to appear out of taxis and Tuk - tuks they came until by departure time of 1pm the pier was full of tourists.
The boat was inevitably delayed and didn't set off until 3pm which was a bit frustrating but out of our control. We set off into the Indian Ocean and arrived at Ko Lanta at half six.
When we got to the hotel they had upgraded us to a 'sunset supreme suite with pool' for the first three nights - Jackpot !.
We were straight in. Later we had a complimentary bottle of Champagne arrive at our door. Now this is the life.
We ate Pad Thai by the beach as an electrical storm played out in the sea. Then it was back to our room for - you guessed it and would do the same - another swim and cos I can, I went sans pantallons ! Mon Droit.
I think England did OK as well today with a one all draw in Turin against Italy.
