Briefly Tuesday - cultural and culinary tour.
Another day when time ran away.
So no pictures yet of a very good experience in Phuket Town.
We met our guides and began an interesting walk.
We stopped to eat and drink - breakfast was roti and curry. Roti are pancakes made of a dough which can be stretched to make a thin sheet, rather like when making pasta.
I had curry - tasty.
Bill, looked doubtful - and was offered banana and condensed milk with his.
We learned a lot about the Chinese, Malay, Portugese influences.
Finally we went to a grand house - part home and part museum.
By the time we reached the lunch restaurant we were beginning to keel over - exhausted.
This had not been a trip for the children - Mam had taken them to the beach.
We spent the afternoon resting - and ironing.
Now we are all packed up.
Simon leaves us in the morning for Bangkok.
We will leave him at the airport and continue the jouney to Kao Sok for a 2 night stay in a wonderful national park.
We will be back here on Friday evening.
