On 'Long Beach'. Reclined on a platform, with cushions, in the shade, having cold drinks. It's 1.30 pm, and about 35°C in the sun. The sea stays a constant 26°C throughout the year, so a tad chilly... In other words perfect for a swim!
Yvonne is drinking watermelon shake, Mike a chilled beer.
This part of the beach is very quiet, its more or less in the middle of what is a long beach. Most of the resorts tend to be at either end.
Still at 'Wonderful Resort'. They cut our cost from £20 (agoda) a night to £14 with breakfast, then to a superior air conditioned room at £16.
Had a walk north, beyond Long Beach to see Khlond Dao Beach. This is much smaller and more packed. The beach is not as clean, seems that oil gets washed up from the fishing boat area. You can see black deposits in the sand!!
Total hike of around 10 km.
Decided to stay where we are...
There are a number of Dane's here, and while we have not met many of them on holiday before, quite a few seem to package all that is negative of the European abroad; arrogant; rude; sour faced and ignorant. Appear to be self centred to the point of pathology, must be the heat lol.
It is also surprising that many have tattoos. Not subtle ones but great black ones of spikes, curls and whorls, or hats with horns on. The occasional long boat, or Nordic scary person with long hair and sharp teeth tattooed on swollen biceps/back of the neck!!
We think they are some kind of raiding party that have lost their way. Perhaps mistaking long beach for long boat!!
Perhaps they are from a chapter of the Danish hells angels. See if we can get a photograph of them massing on their Honda 50's and 90's. Oh well...
We are sure if we say 'good morning/afternoon/evening enough times one of them is bound to reply in the proscribed manner. We refuse to believe this lot is representative of the Danish people.
Tomorrow we go snorkelling to four islands, on a long tail boat. The ones with a car engine mounted on a beam with a propeller on the end. No gears, just a throttle, lol.
Leave you with some pictures; Yvonne cooling off; and relaxing; Mike relaxing; sunset and our beach bar.
