Phuket Day 2 (23 Mar 10) - Lazing around

This Day started with some official businesses..... included in the visit was a lunch at this place called Cape Panwa. Nice place!! The restaurant was facing the sea with horizon stretching to what seemed like the end of the world. The clear sky, good weather (Was told it hasn't been raining here for the past few months) and hotels that was built on the cliff in the area. nice view, great lunch... indeed was very relaxing. On the way back I decided to stop by the Otop market just 3 mins walk from the hotel. This big pasar malam place seemed dead in the day. You dun hear the usual touting by the shop keepers. They are either resting, storing up their energy for the night; or busy stocking up of their goods. Now my months of learning thai language was out into use this moment when i decided to get a pair of slippers (din bring mine so buy something cheap here ^^), and a Chang beer singlet (the weather is just too damn hot to wear even T-shirts). The shop keepers are very willing to cut their prices without much bargaining effort (not too sure if it is my thai language or simply their do not have the energy in the day to even bargain with me). Got my stuff and headed back to the hotel to laze in the afternoon.

After lunch headed back to the hotel. The weather is just too damn hot to even leave the room. Since the sun is so generous in gracing us with its warmth, I decided to try out the swimming pool. Spent the whole afternoon lazing around in the pool, like the many guests in the hotel. After spending some 2 hours lazing around, time to head back to the room relax relax abit.
