PHUKET 2024 : WEEK 6. Monday 25 November to Sunday 1 December

This week we didn't go to the beach much; there's been a lot of overcast,rainy weather. 
We love our routines- a good sleep in, a late morning massage, coffee at Samero's, deciding where to have lunch. Or dinner? Friends and music. A few nights we even got to stay in, watch TV series and eat take out!  Oh, I love my "everyday" life here. 
Rare date night with cupid hovering above my head.
Rain.

Italian food.
Korean food.
Greek food.
Coffee and a visit with Niloo.
Fresh fruit daily..and cut up for you too..
This lovey lady is our tailor and she works outside our hairdresser Nina's shop.

Quick, cheap lunch at Lucky.
Gary's legendary music evenings..we are going to miss you guys. 
Wendy and I.

Our local 7/11 and mini Big C. Tap water is not drinkable here and so plastic waste is a big issue.
