Our friend Gary...

Ko Phayam, Ranong, Thailand
We got up and headed to 'Multi Kulti' for breakfast but I ended up ordering a cheese sandwich and Andrew got a hamburger and home-made fries, even though it was only 10am. We bought some bread rolls and some tuna and a cucumber to make a sandwich later. It looked like it was going to be a cloudy day so we sat on our veranda and Andrew spent some time uploading our recent photos to the laptop. As soon as the sun started to break through the clouds I packed our beach bag and we headed down to our usual spot. It got out scorching and so I was in and out of the sea like a yo-yo. We watched the Thai men from the 'Hippy Bar' attempt some old style fishing, which involved dragging a net in a semi-circle across the shore, but after four attempts they only caught two little silver fish. We went next door to the 'Hippy Bar' and got the best fruit shakes ever, and it must be said that we have sampled many on our trip. I did a bit more sunbathing and acted as a 'Tour Agent' as people kept looking for our bungalow owners, so I had to explain they were away. 
We had a very late lunch at around 6pm, eating our home-made tuna and cucumber sandwiches, washed down with warm coke from the previous day! We then had a drive to 'Blue Sky Resort' to use the WiFi. It was rather windy and the cappuccino that Andrew ordered ended up being blown all over his face! I had a nice hot chocolate and we both had an ice-cream. We realised that we hadn't left a light on at our bungalow and it would be too dark to see a thing as the owners were still away and so the restaurant lights would be off. This meant we had to make a sharp exit and we just made it back before complete darkness. We played a few games of cards, but we felt so tired as is usually the case as soon as the sun has set, even though it is only around 7pm we are ready for bed! The lizard, or Gary as he has become to be known as, left his day place, behind the bathroom mirror, to feast in our bungalow for the night.
