First Stop Today,

Malibu Travel Co. Ltd.,


 but a quick look at one of the cactus before we go,

 it has a double flower, but by the time we return it will already have been past it's best,

 as the flowers on this one last just 1 day,

 I dropped Diana off to meet with a friend of hers then off I went, to find Malibu Travel go to the dolphin roundabout and go up the slight hill towards Naklua, drive past the BonCafe which will be on your right, 

and look out for this sign on the left,

 as a further landmark just past the turning on your right you will see the Aiyara Palace Hotel,

 drive about 50 yards along the made up road,

  and there it is in Soi 16/3, walk through the hotel entrance and the Malibu office is at the rear of the passageway,

 we booked a mini bus for our upcoming trip to Koh Chang, the staff there always smiling and helpful,

the company's card,


 next stop, the huge store behind the Big C in North Pattaya,

  outside lots of garden ornaments,

 chickens with I guess welcome signs are always popular out here,

 with lots of others to chose from,

 also a few water features were here,

 and in case you needed reminding a few water guns for the upcoming Songkran festival,

 there were a few plastic pots as well, I had actually called in for some wine glasses we were down to the last one of the short stemmed ones of the six we bought some time ago,

next stop as I was in the area, Wattana Computers, just opposite the Foodland Supermarket, to get an update on the progress of transferring data from our old computer, all was not well as it kept crashing, but another few days should see the external hard drive back home crammed with pictures and other important information,

 and as it was in the same street just a short stop from them I called into the plant shop,

 I should say market,

 as it is a series of shops under the same roof,

 tempted as I was with these bromeliads, I did not buy any,

 but I had to have a look at the cactus,

 some having messages painted on them,

 whilst others have been grafted

 the bonsai were tempting as well, but resist I did,

 next stop Jack Levy's office,

 on Pattaya Tai,

 it did not look it, but the road was packed with traffic, I had called in to pick up the truck insurance policy, also to arrange for travel insurance for Diana's family for when they call over for a holiday,

 the just as I was leaving the office Diana called to say she was ready to be picked up, so a little more shopping and off we went back home where we were treated to another nice display,

 one of the other cactus now had 4 flowers and nice they were too,

 after our evening meal, feet up for some television, first, The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes, although a little dated, it was made in 1970 it was still great fun,

 keeping to a fun theme, the 2008 version of The Pink Panther, quite funny in places but Peter Sellers was never going to be an easy act to follow,

to round of the evening fun of a different kind of fun, if spending millions of dollars and finding little is your idea of fun, the first series of The Curse of Oak Island for us very entertaining, which we finished watching this evening, I just hope for all of their sakes in the second series of Oak Island which we are both looking forward to the island is kinder to them than in the first series, now a quick heads up, tomorrow is April 1st, April Fools Day, so do not get fooled! and with that we were off to bed.
