We woke up at 7am to have our take-away drinks - we are sick and tired of the pineapple flavouring, so we switch to watermelon. Made with cold water it tastes much better. Not quite a watermelon shake, but bearable. Helen diligently rushed off to a yoga class, while I did battle with the Internet trying to get some information together for a trial run of my business newsletter. With Internet coverage coming and going, it was very irritating. And I feel patience is not my strong point.
What a beautiful day weather-wise! From 1.30-4 we swam in the hotel pool. Rather irritatingly, THREE people had seated themselves at the pool, including one rather strange old woman with a dog. She spent the whole time kissing and stroking the dog on her pool bed. Really!
Luckily, our Irish friend came down to report that she had lost 2kgs in her first day. She had copy of a book about "Tao", which she was reading for detox tips. The book goes into great detail about food combinations etc - why you shouldn't eat protein and carbohydrates together. She recounted some interesting facts and figures. She told me enough about fizzy drinks that she put me off Coke (or Diet Coke) for life!
In the late part of the afternoon we went off to our new beach at Lamai and had a lovely swim in the sea. The beach really is lovely, with little restaurants strung along the beach. If only we could have sat down and enjoyed a meal - now that would have made the afternoon perfect. But, no, at six we had to rush back to have another colonic cleansing and a broth. I opted to add Thai herbs to my broth. Garlic, lemongrass, coriander and lime are dropped into the soup, but you are not allowed to eat any of it.
Tiredness started creeping in early, so we decided to take a little drive through Chaweng and then hit the bed. However, the night turned into a bit of nightmare when a thunderstorm took out the electricity at around 2am. That meant an emergency light came on in the room - and no aircon! I ended up sleeping in the car with the engine running to have some aircon!
