We have free internet, but the internet room is hot. So we haven't been posting much.
Yesterday we rented scooters to ride out to the beaches on the other side of the peninsula. We ended up taking a wrong turn, so we checked out Phuket from the top of a look out point. We eventually made it to the beach, more of a fishing pier with a strange looking dog than a beach. But the weather was getting stormy so we headed back to our side of the peninsula.
Back on our side, Indian Ocean side, we headed up to Patong and stayed at the beach there. Patong was way busier than the beach near our hotel. The advantage of going to the beach near your hotel is you can leave all your valuables in the hotel - which >has< to be safer than alone on a beach chair. But at Patong, I didn't feel that safe - so our swim was a bit short and we headed back to our hotel a bit earlier than planned. The original plan was to check out the ladyboy show, but I guess we can just do that some other time.
Today we woke to thunderstorms and a short power outage. But really all this meant was that we had a later start to our day.
I got another massage and Kim watched another movie while it rained.
Later we headed down to the beach and played in the ocean. There was a fish about the size of a goldfish that kept hanging around me and my arms - It would not go away. I think it liked my armpit.
Kim asked if he had a name, so I named him "Army".

Sean was nice enough not to mention that I freaked out every time the fish was near me. Remember the fish was about the size of a goldfish, but none the less I would swim off terrified whenever I saw it.
That sounds slightly like when Megan saw her snake! :)
