Day 5
Ok so today we checked out of the hotel in Rawai at midday and got the taxi up the
coast to Patong….first impressions.....absolute sh*thole its soooo chaotic.
Mopeds everywhere, no clear road signs…mopeds literally crashing into you!!!!
Anyway we are staying in a small budget guest house which is a long way from
out hotel in Rawai but we arrived and its really nice. Everything you need and
only 10 quid a night with breakfast. The bed is a little hard for my liking but
I slept well last night! Once we was checked in we walked over the road and
handed in a bagful of laundry to be cleaned….2 quid including ironing J perfect. We then had a
walk down to the beach and looking for a big shopping centre in the centre of
Phuket which I thought would be hard to miss it turned out I was wrong!!!! We
turned left and walked and walked…the
roads are full of pot holes, dusty and just chaos. We came to the end and so turned
down towards the beach. We met a guy who was selling tours and offered us an
amazing price for 2 we wanted but didn’t have the cash at the time. Anyway we
carried on walking and FINALLY we arrived at the shopping centre! Wasn’t as big
as I expected but it had some nice shops and loads to buy for souvenirs. After
here we had lunch and I had a spag bol…..now I have NEVER EVER ate spag bol so
hot!! Hundreds of chilli seeds in there..omg my mouth was on fire but was
actually really nice! We had then arranged to meet someone I had spoken to
online who was in Phuket at hard rock café at 5. We checked on Mai’s Iphone
maps for hard rock café…20 min walk up to the north side of patong beach so off
we went….arrived at the said point nothing!!!! So we asked again and it was
nowhere near where the Iphone maps said it was….so we had to walk 30 mins back
the way we came to finally get there..(never seen prices like it, 12 quid for a
blue devil. Double the price of at home)Anyway I had a pint and then we walked
along and had tea before heading back to the hotel and this is when the fun
began! We tried to remember the way we came and tried taking a short cut up a
street which brought us out near the shopping centre. We turned left and walked
for what seemed like miles…totally lost. I was getting pretty peed off and
eventually we got one of the tuk tuks back to the hotel and he even took us to
the wrong one at first! It turned out at the shopping centre we should go
right. Anyway finally got home and was that tired we couldn’t be bothered going
back out so just chilled in the room and got an early night!!
Hopefully going out tomorrow to book trips to Phi Phi and
James Bond island )J
