After breakfast, we got on a tuktuk—an open-air taxi—and drove to several of the beaches that surround the island (Phuket is a very long island). Took a lot of pictures of the area. The driver would slow down at certain places on the road for us to take pictures--even turned around to let us go back to snap one of a water buffalo.
In the afternoon, we went on an elephant ride/tour. That was hella-fun and cooolio! Our elephant was 53 years old—a year younger than Grace—which Brian took glee in pointing out. You really feel like ye’re on top of the world when ye’re riding an elephant.
Dinner was in Surin—the next beach up from Kamala. More spicy Thai food. We are definitely going to look for Thai restaurants once we get back home!!! On the way back to our hotel (we had taken another tuktuk), it started to rain. On the last street, it opened up and dumped big fat drops…loud and hard. The temps were still warm—and it was just funny to watch it dump…and then suddenly stop.
