Day 3 in Ao nang...

A lazy start at Aqua Marine saw us first hit the pool after a good breakfast.
We had all made the decision to get a short hair cut, which we thought would be wise due to heat and extra hair resulting in extra sweating. So we headed out from the hotel to find a barbers/salon and came across one relatively easily on the main stretch of Ao nang. With a little wait the electric razor was ready with the number two clipper selected.
The hair dresser was rapid. She did not mess about getting rid of the hair. Before we knew it the hair was on the floor and we left into the afternoon sunshine with a smart short cut.
Next we hit the beach where initially we were approached by the obvious 'Massage?' question with prices at 150 baht, less than 3 quid for an alo vera massage it was hard for Joe to resist. After soaking up some of the sun and paying a visit to the fruit man for some sweet and juicy pineapple we headed back to the hotel which was a short tuk tuk ride away.
We shortly realised that we were a bit behind on a accomadation and needed a place to kip for Ko Phangen and Ko Samui in the next few days. A hungry visit to an internet cafe to book our next accomodation was followed by a pleasant evening meal.
We all chose pizza's as a refreshing change from all of the spicy thai food. Joe decided on a American Hot Pizza. When it arrived he knew he was in trouble with the pizza topping coated in different types of chilli's, big, small, hot, seedy. The consumption of the meal involved extensive sweating and hotness of lips, mouth and throat by Joe but he accomplished the dish well. Jamie and Ben sat in amazement as his lips hugged a bottle of iced water for the rest of the night. One thing is for sure, he was not looking forward to his bowel movements for the next few days.
