Today we relaxed, the ear infection seems to be clearing up nicely, so we had long discussions about our future journey, and the vote certainly favoured a mainland treck south from Trang, and not a return to the islands. Felix doesnt fancy being on an island incase the ear gets worse (fair enough!) and Imogen has simply had enough of small boats for a while.
So the immediate area south of us, all the way to the Malaysian border, is a no go area according to the british consulate, Those muslim fundamentalists showing again their low temperament towards everyone else, this time it is the moderate muslims and buddhists that get on their beef! So we will bomb it through this area and get into Malaysia. The Jouney should take about 6 hours in a minivan, with one short stop in Hat Yai, which was sadly car bombed back in march.
This evening we enjoyed our quirky hotel, and had some live music in the terrace bar, the bar had all the british premiership games going on live in the background ( the time difference makes our premiership essential saturday night viewing for the Thai's (unfortunately for us!)) but the music was very good.
I discovered a hidden massage parlour on floor 2A, half way between the pool floor and the exhibition centre, which only has access from 1 lift, and no other entrance. It all felt very Harry Potter, lets just say I hadnt seen anything like it since Bangkok!..... I made a hasty retreat!.. definately not for Harry Potter fans!!
