Karon Beach Phuket

August 24, 2009 · 10 comments

It`s been a while, but now i`ve finally got some regular internet access i can post a few things i`ve been up to.

On the way back from Japan i stopped by Phuket and caught up with what turned out to be 8 mates in total, all keen to spend some time in the sun, drinking, eating and relaxing.

Mid week we booked a fishing charter andspent the day cruising in the Andaman Sea. We only caught 1 fish but the day was still deemed a success.

With the other lads coming from winter in Australia there was alwasy going to be lots of poolside activity.

There`s an overwhelming sense of dejavu as i write this, sitting in the same hotel i stayed in 3 years ago when i moved to Japan … only this time, it`s the end of the journey.

I stayed in this hotel for near on 10 months before i was made a local employee and before i had a gaijin card, working visa etc … all the stuff you need to rent an apartment.

This time round the stay is only 3 days and having copious amounts of points from my semi permanent status a few years ago … i am able to cash in and use them so it`s free.

Of the 800 plus photos i took from the Hiroshima and Kyoto trip a while back i found a few nature and wildlife ones i was quite happy with.

This bird was in a stream near Gion City in Kyoto.

There were plenty of trees flowering in the grounds of Nijojo Castle in Kyoto.
