Day 35 - Beaches and Beautiful Weather

Since we had nothing planned today we slept in till around 9 then went downstairs to eat some breakfast. The hotel had a free buffet breakfast so I loaded up on pancakes and eggs, it was delicious and I was stuffed afterwards! Once we finished we hung out in the room for an hour or two. I skyped with Rach for a little then we got ready to head to the beach. 

We hung out at the beach from 11 till around 4. We had a small lunch there, I had a chicken sandwich. The weather was amazing again. This place had perfect weather all year round I wish I could live here! After the beach we went back to the pool for about an hour then relaxed until dinner. For dinner we walked down the Main Street and ate at a restaurant called Rosco's that was pretty good. I got my usual phad Thai, you can't go wrong with it! They had the Olympics on so we got to watch dorm of the curling matches haha. 

After dinner we decided to walk around some more and explore the area. There were tons of shops all over the street selling the typical touristy junk. We walked down one of the main bar streets called bangla rd. it was only 4 blocks long but it was packed with bars and people trying to sell you tickets to the "ping pong" shows. If you really want to know what that is you can google it haha.

We also made our way to the Patong mall, it was a fairly large 3 story mall with typical shops. We stopped in the food court for some ice cream and got to watch some beakdancing street performers that were actually pretty good!

After eating our ice cream we made our way back to the hotel to rest. We ended up watching Django on tv. Tomorrow I'm going on a scuba trip to two islands just south if Phuket called Racha Noi and Racha Yai. My dad decided he's rather stay back at the beach and relax so I'm going by myself. It should be fun! I've only scuba dived one other time in the Dominican Republic so well see how it compares.
