Pool Days

After our night out singing and dancing at the Dubliner pub on Friday, Tim and I hung out at the pool with Carys and Cookie on Saturday morning. The sun was out and it was lovely and warm, a great opportunity to top up the tan!

Carys' flight was later in the evening so she had time to play frizbee and sunbathe with the rest of us and with Kim her boyfriend. So we all mooched about, trying not to throw the frizbee at the swimming lesson at the other end of the pool, we were mostly successful! Tim got a little sun burned on his head (oops!) but it was nice to do one more time before we all parted ways, ahhhhh.
It sort of reminded us of being in Bali together back in February, only there was no pool bar and it was a little cooler! It will be a hard thing to leave, we don’t swim as much as we did when we first got here, but it is lovely to be able to just say ‘sod it’ lets not bother today and just sit in the sunshine with our feet in the water, knowing that there is always a friend nearby for company.

After a few hours Cookie had yet another leaving do to attend, it is the season after all, while the rest of us got dressed and went to get some street food for lunch before Carys had to leave. However, it turns out that it is a major public holiday this weekend and so no vendors were about! We all ended up at the Coffee Makers Thai coffee shop and restaurant in the end.

Turns out that this was the first restaurant that Carys and Tim visited together, so it only seemed fitting that it be their last for a while!

Carys made her flight later in the evening, we shall be meeting up with her again in London the day after we return and again a week later at her family home for her leaving barn party which is fantastic!

Tim and I went out to lunch with Cookie today (Sunday) as she hops on a train in the evening to go to Chiang Mai and visit Keith and Sara, our vist overlaps with her stay so we will see her in just over a week. We have now packed for our trip to Krabi and are just praying that we have enough sun tan lotion left for 6 days of frying!

We aren't being too sentimental about leaving the people behind as we are meeting up with Carys in England and seeing Cookie and the Wilsons one more time before we go. After the summer we shall see everyone again during our travels next year so it is by no means the end, which is making things a whole lot easier! It is always best to leave on a high and i think we are managing to achieve that.
