Friday I had a pedicure done by about 100 little fish in a tank. I laughed so hard I drew a crowd and made a sale for the guy as a woman “wanted what I was having.” Saturday I had a manicure on the beach by a lady who did a great job and charged $3, which included a pineapple slice on a stick and a banana. Her “shop” was under a tree on the beach, and she worked while I watched the ocean and swimmers at the beach. It was certainly a unique experience!
More rain last night, and more rain this morning. We must have had 10 inches of rain since we arrived on Thursday, and the forecast is for rain every day until we leave. No wonder the jungle is green!
Otherwise we have stayed close to our cabin especially when we found there is a restaurant here with food as good as or better than in town.
We thought about taking a boat excursion we saw advertised in town – a sunset tour with ‘Captain Yum Yum” to one of the surrounding islands. The cruise included dinner and snorkeling in an underwater cave with phosphorescent lighting. We were psyched to go until we read a review about the tour that indicated there was no First Aid kit aboard, and a previous tourist found himself swimming among sharks while bleeding, after cutting himself on some coral. The reviewer also mentioned that Captain Yum Yum is a woman who did not appear to know anything about the boat. A word to the wise –
Today (Monday) we met the owner of our resort who also owns a resort on the other side of the cliffs. She recommended that, if the rain lets up, we take a boat there (Phra Nang) from Ao Nang. At this point it is hard to imagine the rain will let up. I think we are up to 15 inches now. The weather guesser says 100% chance of precipitation for the next three days.
