We had booked one more day at Karon, but in all honesty, despite the nice place this was a little too quiet for the Werners, so booked back at Patong the day after. We ummed and Ahhed about our return journey, obviously paying the price booking late for the flight back to KL. We initially intended to return to KL on the 28th and continue on to Melbourne, but settles on returning the day before, just in case connections were cancelled.
We spent the day wandering into Karon township by day. swimming and watching a movie or two (such a waste when you're away, but the first part of the trip was so busy, we needed to chill out for a while) Michele and Steve had an early drink by the lake in Karon, whilst James watched a Harry Potter film. We decided not to tell him about the snake on the road when we returned, as he seemed scared of everything from skinks and geckos to the local dogs. After Michele soaked up as much sun as possible, about 5PM we headed in to the Karon Market, which was for the locals as much as the tourists.
There was plenty of food on offer, and Steve tried some purple and green dumpling looking thigs for 5 baht each (about 15c) and they were delicious. In retrospect, he decided he should have tried far more street food than he did, biut you get so many wanrings about Asia belly, you tend to be a bit hestiant at first.
On our return, James and Steve did some bombs in the diving pool, much to the amusement of the local guests, but less so to the security guards. Michele was pooped after staying awake from Steve's snoring the night before and gave it a miss. I think this had more to do with her fear of deep water than anything else. We did some late night blogging and facebooking and hit the hay.
