Poppies



The last day was warm and humid, but we have enjoyed mostly bright clear skies with some cloud and sunshine. Spots of rain have fallen, but nothing major. Mike has suffered with side effects from anti-malarial tablets but stopped taking them and is now pretty much ok. It will need a further day or so of taking it easy - hah! Jean visited a Samui St Arbucks to continue her world tour of appreciation and shrine worship, then it was drinks barefoot on the beach in the early evening at a Poppies reception before a valedictory dinner al fresco and packing. An early start tomorrow will command a reasonable early night but will get us to Hong Kong in time for dinner there, providing there are no delays. It's been a very good break here with lots of relaxation and dipping in the sea. Dinner was enjoyed poolside at the table separate from all the others, but it was less breezy than the main restaurant area and, consequently, somewhat hotter. But, Mike and I were chuffed to enjoy the tailend of the Hennessey XO, and the opening of another bottle, with our last coffee of the visit!
