Neurosis Lady has gone

BUT Eveready bunny has taken her place.

We had a phone call from Mandy's GM this morning at 5.30am, Thai time, to let her know that the Government had finally accounced that they had been put on the Contract!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mind you it only took then 6 months to make a decision. So Mandy is doing backflips, figuratively speaking of course, and we are off to Dr. Frog's for a big nosh-up and drinks tonight, will post photos next time.

Well we have been doing absolutely nothing, still. And it's been great.

Have only been into town once so far, which was a bit of a night, Mand got stuck into the volka lemons at Will Wait then we headed to the Islander Bar for a roast lamb meal.

We've met a lovely couple, Rob & Letitia, from Jervis Bay and we are going to hire a 4WD with them and cruise around the island for a day. Been having a few beers with them as well.

Into town tomorrow arvo to watch the Socceroos at the Islander, 4pm kick-off here, very civilised.

As we haven't really done anything we haven't taken any photos, so I've taken some of Chaba Cabana. Our mates Nai (left) & Perm (right) at the bar, Thai cigarette warnings, view from our room and some around the pool/beach including Mandy beside the bar. Click on photos to enlarge and hit back button togo back tio main page.

Will post another report in a day or so.

Take care all.

Arrive at our 2nd home

Saturday was a LONG day, up at 5.30am, take off at 9am & arrive at Chaba Cabana at 10pm Sydney time. Missed Happy Hour as they have changed it to 4-5pm, used to be 5-6pm, would have scraped in by 10 minutes, bugger. The bill that night was therefore quite large as we drank ourselves to sleep around 1.3am Sydney time.

Opened our room door and the Front Office Manager had decorated it beyond belief.

Cloud cut-outs stuck on the mirror with Happy Honeymoon Ian & Amanda & a print of one of our wedding photo's we sent them.

Towels on the bed shaped into swans with petals shaped as a heart & other petals strewn all over the room, took ages to clean up so we could get to bed. Also a lovely cake with Happy Honeymoon written on it. (see above photo's)

They are so over the top here, big hugs and kisses from all the staff as we continued to bump into them in the first 3 days.

Bloody hot and humid at the moment, 35 degrees, though yesterday, Tuesday, we had 2 huge storms, awesome rain & thunder.

Haven't even managed to get down to the town as yet, but that can wait.

The devaluing of the Thai Baht means our $ has been deflated by 30% so having to watch our money as eveything is far more expensive, but we'll get used to it. Not many people are here at all, Chaba is only around 50% occupancy and everyone is saying it's been very quiet since the airport sit-in, such a shame as nothing is differant at all, people just get scared about little things like that, but it's going to take quite a while 'til it picks up again.

Anyway, I'm heading to the supermarket, dropping off the washing then back to the wife at the pool.

Take care all & look forward to seeing yolu all when we return on Easter Sunday.
