A quick breakfast and session on the net was had before I farewelled the city that had been my home for the past week and headed to the airport. I wasn't going to go to Phuket originally as I knew it was extremely touristy but it turned out that my Nana's brother inlaw was shouting his wife and all of her sisters and their partners to Thailand for his 75th birthday and the dates just happened to coincide with when I was going to be around that area so I thought I'd go and say hello for a few nights. Merlin Beach Resort was their destination which is a resort on a private beach the next bay around from Patong on Phuket Island. Getting to the resort turned out to be as easy as pie thanks to the Thai woman in the shuttle bus so at about 4pm I knocked on my grandparents door in the resort and was welcomed by cheers of glee from them due to being so pleased that I'd arrived safely. It was happy hour time after a swim in the impressive pool so we headed around to the hosts room and I was able to catch up with the rest of the party of 10. It was quite amusing spending the evening with them all as they were forgetting things, getting lost finding their way around the place etc. I was however, very grateful to be being put up in such a lovely resort so there was no complaints from me.

Hello Tui, just thought I'd drop in a line and let you know I am catching up via your blog. Looks like you are having quite an adventure! Nothing resembling the super relaxing, cocktail sipping, resort hopping, bargain shopping vacation I had in Thailand! Keep the stories coming.. xx
