Eighth Day in Phuket

Today was our last full day here in Phuket. We spent it at the pool although the weather was not cooperating. We had some distant thunder, dark clouds and sometimes a sprinkle. Nothing major though. Just too bad it wasn't sunny on our last day. They have not had any rain here since around Christmas time, so everybody was a bit surprised.

We found out that we have to leave our room at noon tomorrow, but since we don't have to leave until 4 pm for the airport, we were told we can use the healthclub/spa to shower and change. After dinner we checked it out and it is AWESOME! Sauna, hot and cold tubs, big showers and all the amenities. Another thing we didn't notice or check out until it is time to leave! Oh well - next time!

Before dinner we held a little ceremony for Roger at the spirit house on the premises. It is in the middle of a lotus pond. We lit candles, burned incense and left an offering of some of Roger's favorite things: KitKat, rum raisin ice cream, toffees, and a bottle of water. We also lit some candles that were in the shape of Plumera flowers (the fragrant kind they use for leis) set inside coconut shells so we could float them in the pond.
