ISLAND LIFE...

It's clear that we really are at the tail end of the tourist season here. Actually, just beginning the off season. Shops are closed, bars and restaurants are woefully empty, but we're not complaining. More sun would be nice, or course (we've had a few monsoon downpours) but at least the roads are not clogged with drunk Brits on scooters. And the weather overall is still very warm and the people are friendly. This island has such a relaxed, peaceful vibe that you have to work pretty hard to have a bad time. Even right now, as I sit in the protected outdoor sala, the skies have opened up for another 20-minute-monsoon-downpour, but Enya is playing on the outdoor speakers, the air is warm and life is good.

Had the best green Thai curry of my life at this place
but was in a veritable state of hilarity at the thought
