Sunday, March 30

It is our last day to do any of those things we haven't done yet. Is there such a thing? We tried to find options that included very little sun- as some of us were still a little sensitive!! That is pretty hard to do on the tropical island of Phuket
We ended up wandering, and landed in a beauty salon owned by "Dan" from France. He and his boyfriend ran the outfit, and loved pampering us. Norrie ended up spending 5 hours in there! For $75.00 Cadn- she got a haircut, color, highlights,manicure, foot treatment, and eye brow tweezing- can't do that at home!!!She is a new woman! Esther fit in one more foot massage. Terry got a pedicure, and shopped in the nearby stores, loading up on the big brands for my boys. If I ever see Billabong again I will spit. It is EVERYWHERE and a fraction of the Canadian prices.

Around 4:00 pm we wandered around more, looking for a place to possibly ship our excess cargo home to Canada, to no avail. We'll try fit it onto the airplane after all. We had supper and did some more wandering. Saw the modern side of town, including a shiny new mall, with a huge cinema. We love just landing on this stuff. By the time we wanted to go home we had lost complete orientation to where we lived. The taxi drove forever it seemed, we had no idea we had gotten so far away!!!
Once at the hotel we had our ritual rooftop swim. We enjoyed standing at the top looking down on the action below us. Birds eye view for the interesting transactions! Then we had a downpour, and things got really interesting as everyone scurried in different directions, and tuk tuks loaded with people got into near traffic jams.

One more sleep and we begin the trip towards home! We are both happy to go home and sorry to see the end of an adventure that has been so... soul enriching...It is amazing that five strangers a year ago, travel across half the world , and live together 24-7 with no conflict or unease. It is a blessing and a gift that we still adore each other and have been able to grow individually at the same time.... Thank-you Universe

Watch for pictures and funny stories to come- will add when we get home- Norrie has at least 4000 pics- I promise she won't down load that many!!!!!
