While landing into Phuket we were sitting next to a Thai lady snapping so many pictures out of the airplane. Clint was on the aisle seat and desperately trying to see out the window. But every time he would start to get a glance, back went the camera and the hundreds of pictures being taken. So sadly, he only got to see a pink camera while landing into Phuket. Next we found a taxi driver to take us to the hostel in Patong. We bargained a price and within two minutes of driving he was trying to raise his price. Needless to say we made it to the hostel alive, why paint lines on roads just to ignore them, paying our original price and checked in. We found Andrea, Kyle, and Phil and headed to the beach, Clint got his first mai-tai in Thailand! The water feels like a warm bath and the surf was good enough to body board. Clint almost got talked into buying a watch, but at the last moment he discovered the watch didn’t work, that is unless you hit it against your hand! Clint made friends with some locals and was pulled into a soccer game and lets just say running in the sand in tiring! The rain really started around then and we headed back to the hostel to shower off the thick layer of salt from the ocean. Now we have been awake for ohh 2 days with about 5 hours of sleep but feeling a little peppy. We got dinner and headed to Bangla road. After a few beers I thought I was going to die of exhaustion so Clint took me back and we slept. Andrea, Kyle, and Phil stayed out so we will see if Phil got his way and saw a ping pong show! This morning we are off to see rescued gibbons and explore the beaches below Patong. We have gotten 9 hours of sleep so we will see what this night beholds. . . . . .
