Finally here in Phuket!
September 12, 2007
The title says it all! After flying for a day, I have arrived at Phuket and checked into the Dusit Laguna Hotel. The hotel actually reminds of the hotel I stayed at in Siem Riep (Angkor Wat), Cambodia. The first thing I did when I checked into the hotel was take a long shower and then had breakfast with the bride and groom to be. Next stop was the comfortable bed for a nap. I didn't realize I would sleep for the next six hours, just in time to wake and have dinner with the wedding party. Little did any one relaize a strike was happening on the hotel grounds, the workers blocked the roads leading in and out of the hotel complex. So we had to walk to a restaurant near to the hotel. After dinner, we opted to relax at the bar while it started to monsoon. The restaurant kindly drove us back to the hotel but it was still blocked by the strike. So I walked to the hotel to arrange for a van to pick up the rest of the party, unfortunately that menat walking through the monsooning rain!
