Prologue – Day 8

We had a quiet day that of course started with coffee for Em and I had a little run. It was warm and sunny so we chilled around the pool talking and reading. We had a couple of goes on Joys moped to try and get the hang of it, there were lots of shrieking, laughing and jumping around, I don’t think we did get the hang of it.

In the afternoon we went shopping and I cooked a meal for the family dinner. We had Thai style enoki with cashews, smoked crispy shitake and king oyster scallops (again), Roast potatoes, coleslaw with a spicy mango dressing, horseradish sauce and peppercorn sauce with shots of ginger and turmeric to start.

I broke the house record for number of pans used and height of washing up pile, I managed to stain my hand orange with the raw tumeric juice…..looking like I’d smoked golden Virginia roll ups for the last 40 years. Today we had no encounters with dogs, spiders or snakes. One more day in Thailand then we head for Cambodia and I think things are about to get spicy.
