Rose early – started looking at a possible upgrades. Showed a spa suite which we liked and arrange to see the duty manager after breakfast. By 11 o’clock the deal was done we were sorting ourselves out in Villa 2102.
In the afternoon enjoy the Villa to the full, swimming, reading, jacuzzing etc.
Went for a stroll late afternoon to get our bearings. Played ping-pong – Daisy won as usual. Ged is reading A Spot Of Bother, Daisy is reading Shantaram.
Take dinner in main restaurant. Crab cake starter – prawns, pork, veg, and sticky rice. Delicious but too much. Early night.

Rose early, coffee, tennis (Daisy won 6-4), bathe, wonderful breakfast & back to our super villa.
Pass the day reading, swimming, walk to the beach, swim the main pool etc.
Quietly contemplate staying here longer, as northern Europe is still a no-fly zone.
Try out the steam in villa today.
Book Thai restaurant for dinner and try tuna salad, mixed veg, coconut rice, prawn etc noodle dish, and other stuff, again delicious but too much. Again crash early.

Again rose early, coffee, tennis (Ged 6-1), bathe, amazing breakfast, Ged plays with Internet and photo backups, then back to our amazing villa for more reading (Ged moved on to Netherland), swimming etc. Very nice indeed. Ged coming down with a cold however.
Still, back to main restaurant for Wang Chang chicken, prawns (again) different green veg and plain rice. Very good, although timing of dishes bizarre especially as we are, once again, the only visible diners in the main restaurant! (A few tables in Thai and the sound of buggies doing in Villa dining elsewhere).
