April 8th 2002

Our penultimate day here, we go for a swim before breakfast, the sea is warm and normal. Dao says maybe elephant trek tomorrow, she will let us know later. Our massage lady reappears so we have an hour of massage on the beach, followed by a pedicure and manicure each.

The Sun has moved around whilst we've been pampered and has got us quite thoroughly. We lather each other in after sun cream annoyed that we are still so careless. We relax and read under the air con then go to check mail and replace my book again. Andrew takes a panorama with his camera, he will stitch the frames together when we get home.

Ate bruchetta and burgers for dinner, and tried the Banana Farmer cocktail at Taxi Stop, they have been closed for a few days celebrating Mike's 21st birthday. The lads are still hung over so it must have been good. Called in at KB to find out what's happening with the elephants and enjoy a Lemon Daiquiri while we wait. Smacked Arse smiles at me as he shows us to a table, "you go in morning" he says - I can only assume it's a smile of pleasure as he can't wait to see the back of us. Dao has booked us tickets for tomorrow at 1pm. Cold hose down each in attempt to relieve sun burn, more after sun and gingerly to bed.
