We started the day with breakfast on our balcony. It was an unadventurous day spent mostly by the pool. The complex has 3 large pools. Today we first went to the main pool with its waterspouting elephants. We stayed there for lunch as well, took a stroll on the beach and I actually got into the sea with its strong currents, but managed to get both in and out without any incidents.
Later in the afternoon we moved over to the Blue Pool. Kim went for her daily massage and then we went to watch the traditional Thai sunset ceremony at the Mirror Pool by the lobby. It looks like the dancers are dancing on the water. It is very slow and controlled movements and quite beatiful. There are also men dancing with fire and a drummer. This ceremony is repeated daily shortly before sunset. After this we went for Happy Hour - 2 drinks for the price of one. We had 2 each :-)
Back to the room to change and get ready for dinner. First we planned to go to the Japanese restaurant, but found out that a steak dinner was US$150!!! No steak is THAT good. Then we tried the Marriott Cafe, but they did not have any vegetarian dishes so we walked to the other end of the compound to visit the Thai restaurant, just to find out that they had a wine tasting thing going on and that it was sold out! So we ended up at the Siam Deli again. Definitely the least expensive place here and decent stuff to eat.
