We Spent Last Night Writing Christmas Cards,

I had heard there might be a problem with the post so I thought we would get in early!
so along to the post office on Soi 5 Jomtien Beach,
standing oppisite it this is the view to the beach,
and the other way looking towards the immigration center,
then it as to the FedEx center in Naklua, just a small point there are many shops around that will send things FedEx, UPS, etc, but they will charge a handling fee to deliver the letter/parcel to this office or the next FedEx up the line at Laem Chabang,
the office from the road, as you go from the Dolphin roundabout it is about 300 meters along on the right,
also the pick up from here to the airport is about 3.00 - 3.30 if you want it to leave the same day,
on the way back a phone card and some milk,
we also stopped off to buy some of those small oranges that are now in season, I used to think that they were grown here but in fact they come from China,
Mark called round later in the afternoon to pick up some things that Phil had brought over from the UK for him then it was out on the town, the pizza restaurant was quite as we went past,
Diana was so cold she wore trousers and a warm top tonight, she was even thinking about buying a jacket it was that cold,
Walking Street was packed, but first into the Bier Kutsche,
we both had a steak each, 488 baht, soda for me water for Diana,
then a stroll along Walking Street, a new shop, Fendig, they have a outlet on Second Road and the road that leads to the sea in Jomtien, they sell manly shoes but also other leather goods, bags, belts, wallets etc,
this is a show with the seller appearing to drop the ice cream, very entertaining,
I did a post about this some time ago, if you want to have a full run down on what they do click here, but I did not know of this spa in Walking Street, only the one on Third Road,
one of the seafood restaurants has compleated its refurbishment for the high season,
this is that strange bar on the street, but this time you could not get into it, the two entrances were blocked by a chair and a pile of clothes, very strange,
then we called into Sisterz, we hoped to meet Peter there but we must have missed him, so we had a chat with Paul and Ken the owners and then made our way over to Sweethearts to have a chat with Grieg, whilst there Mick and Jay staggered in but it took about 10 minuets before they realised we were sitting 12 feet away from them, so a few drinks there then off to see Juu in Champions where we meet Big Jim,
all to soon it was time to go home, so first stop the bug cart for Diana,
'get your fresh bugs here!'
and another look at the glass shop,
these guys are so talented,
but unfortunately not many customers,
there are 2 guys that work here,
I was going to get some thing to eat myself, then remember the diet! so it was off home to bed.
