Thailand - Day 10, our first rain

 

Today was a free day with most of us planning on chilling on the beach or at the pool.

Unfortunately the weather was not co-operating. There were frequent intense showers and the occasional rumble of thunder.

Right after breakfast I went up to the lobby and booked a spa package for 11am. 1,299 Thai Baht is about $Can60.00, for an hour and a half of pampering.

The weather can't have been unusual because each room was provided with 2 umbrellas. Arriving at the spa I was given a cup of cold peaflower tea before being taken into calm, serenely decorated rooms to change, done a robe and be given a sea salt and lemongrass body scrub. 

Then I took a shower in the adjoining room and returned for my hour long massage.

Dressed again and feeling very mellow I was given a hot peaflower tea and little cookies before again braving the teaming rain.

On my meander back

I noticed the abundance of different plants

growing on the property.

Others in the group had gone into town where Mark had manged to fall in a pothole, scrapping up his leg and lucky not to have broken anything. Later he fell on a wet step at the spa. Not his most co-ordinated day but gained a free massage for consolation.

I seem to remember I did some blogging that day but pretty soon the call went out

On the WhatsApp group, for Happy Hour,

followed by dinner, inside but still within hearing of the surf on the beach.
