Sunday 4th

It is Easter this weekend and the second year in a row that I have been in Thailand for the holiday.

The weather here has been hot and humid since I arrived, with temps in the mid to high 30s.

This morning the 5 of us who are staying at the Areca headed up to the Pattaya Sports Club. Dane had been given applications forms and photos by half a dozen of us so he could join us up before we arrived. However I was the only one who had actually read the form and realised that a 1" x 1" photo was required not the usual passport size. Consequently only Dane, who was their in person for a replacement photo and myself were actually enrolled. The other 4 were heading there to get their photos taken and make their application today. We grabbed a Baht bus and the process, once we arrived was fairly quick and easy.

After that we went to Lotus where I got some more coat hangers and Marie a power converter. We didn't get inspired by the clothes. We'd left the boys to make their own way but they were still in the coffee shop when we came down. We joined then for a drink and then Marie and I headed off to the Festival shopping centre. Lots of nice shops but again no sales for me but Marie bought some gym gear. WE visited Grand Plaza after that and then headed back to the hotel. We actually went passed it and had lunch at a cafe around the corner.

After that we went back to the hotel and joined the boys at the back pool. I had a few swims, read a bit and had a short nap. Tough job but somebody's got to do it.

About 6 I headed to the embroidery shop and picked up the caps and took them to Le Katai. The same 4 were there and just as we were heading off for dinner an hour later, the bus with some of the others pulled up so I gave out theirs as well. I then caught up with the Areca group for dinner at KIss followed by a walk through Mikes mall and a coffee before retiring.
