Ice arrives...

Another early one with the coffee and the wildlife. At 7am, I took my laundry down to a resort on the beach and walked by the water for an hour before the sun was completely up. On the way home, I ran into Chris who is the other half of the couple I am renting from. I mention to him that I’d like some ice delivered so that I can head into the village and get some groceries picked up. He makes a few calls from his mobile and tells me it will be delivered some time today. Great! Food other than ramen and cold beer soon! Speaking of which, I dined on ramen yet again and had a few coffee before heading to the main house to use their internet connection. I am invited to a going away party tomorrow night at the main house. They have a friend who’s holiday is ending, so I’ll head over around 7pm and get chance to meet a few of the people who have been coming here for years and tend to stay for extended periods of time. After getting back to the house, Oka(the Burmese property manager) drops off my ice and I decide to whip down to the beach and pick up a few beers to test out the cooler. Once I have about 3 of the 4 beer put away, I realize I am pretty buzzed due to the diet of ramen and the heat, so I decide that I’d better run down and grad my laundry before I am flat on my ass. By the time I get there, it’s all ready to go, nicely folded and smalling much better than it did 12hrs ago. I pay my 120baht and hoof it home to drink the last lonely beer, shower and sleep.
