Schoolgirl error

Accidental sunburn. Just what I fancied for 15 hours of flying. Pants.

Had surprisingly good breakfast today: scrambed eggs with feta. Granted I could have done without the 'pesto vegetables' on the side, and thick slices of buttered toast, or better still brioche, would have made me happier...but it was pretty good. Still not hank marvin. It's 2pm and I just had a couple of slices of pineapple in case I get peckish before dinner, other than that I'm still just not hungry. Krispy Kreme to the rescue! I haven't had a caffeine high or a sugar crash in 10 days *sob*.

Beautiful weather today (hence 3rd degree burns) and I just got the shuttle bus doodad back from Spa Beach. There were 3 n00bs on the bus - a couple from Amsterdam and a South African girl. They'd tried to get rooms at the beach, but they're fully booked so they were recommended this place (oddly enough, being the same owners). On the ride up, I did the usual conversation of "Are you fasting?". They looked at me like I'm nuts - and I had to explain the whole thing, and the shared, incredulous, open-mouthed looks increased. Hmmm. Starting to realise this isn't something normal to do with your time. It was quite funny really.

Did a last wander around Lamai this morning. It's a funny little town. As I knew from when I chose this holiday, I've seen almost nothing of Thailand, and I'm now keen to come back, maybe throwing Cambodia into the equation, to explore it properly. The people are lovely, very friendly and quick to smile.

Off for final shower, then have 4 more hours before the airport fandango (ugh). We're having a meal tonight before I go, and I'll be sorry to say goodbye to Cate and Kirsty, and especially Rosarie. I think I'm going totally off the rails for final supper and might, MIGHT, have meat. Decadent!
