Couples Massage...

Greetings from paradise! We are having such a wonderful time in Phuket. Ahh, life here is full of difficult choices - This morning we had to decide between various tropical fruits and pastries, breads, eggs, etc. for breakfast - Do we choose dragonfruit, or papaya, or have both? Or do we have eggs, or pancakes?

Then we had to choose between an aromatherapy swedish massage or a traditional thai massage at happy hour massage (we chose the swedish version with relaxing oils because we had the Thai version in Bangkok). It was a 2 for 1 Happy Hour special - It seems though, our good friends at the Sawasadee, thinking we were a couple staying in the honeymoon bungalow, gave us a couples massage. We laughed when we were taken into the same room with massage tables side by side - But, the massages were wonderful and we just ignored each other anyways until we were done and sipping tea. Yes, life is hard here indeed!

Then we had to decide pool or beach, so we did both. We first went to Kata beach and sunbathed and frolicked in the waves. We really can't believe we are here. The people are sooooo nice and accomodating. We then went swimming in this pool with fountains and jets everywhere surrounded by tropical plants and with a nice swim up bar and of course sipped exotic tropical drinks after such a rough day!

From there we went out for more Thai food on the beach and met up with the other Seascape people at the Ska bar here in Kata Beach. Everyone seems very nice so far, but of course the demons will be released after 2 weeks in such close quarters together...

Tomorrow we set sail and I have a feeling our internet use will decline for the next two weeks as we will be sailing to some pretty remote places. Please don't worry about us! We are (and will continue to be) very safe.

Ta Ta for now!
