So today I finished my rescue course assist which involved all the things mentioned in the title or this post and more. Really good fun, totally over the top and even more amusing when other courses on the boat haven’t been told!
Its been a manic week so far with house hunting, various nights out and assisting on Open Water, Advanced Open Water and EFR / Rescue. Just completed my second skill circuit (think giving instructions and explaining to students how to do things but underwater). Also this week I’ve done the 400m swim and the 15 minute hover amongst others.
There’s been some good photos which will be up on facebook shortly or maybe already?!? can’t remember.
Went to the most amazing restaurant last night with the guys from Phoenix. You go up the mountain on the concrete road, it then turns into a dirt track, you keep going. The track gets smaller and steeper and only accessible by bike. Eventually you turn up at this clearing next to a wall with a door. Once through the door you enter this cosy lounge / terrace with views overlooking the south side of the island. Fillet steak is 220 baht – (4 quid) with everything.
The night before I went with the guys and gals from Bans to a place called “Kitchen for you” – literally the front room of someone’s house. There were 9 of us and only 1 table in the place and only 4 menus. The staff (mother and a couple of daughters) cook the food while you help yourself to drinks from their fridge. Amazing food, then back down to the beach for dessert at Seashell Resort which Lisa highly recommends for their milkshakes – she’s not wrong!
Right…. off ot the beach.
