Koh Samui
Well I woke up feeling a bit better after a day of rest and we headed out on the bikes about 9:30am and headed north towards Chaweng. I was doing a lot better on the bike than the other day and felt a lot safer now we had helmets! We stopped on the way when we found another shooting range and Rudi shot a .44 magnum. It was very loud and he loved it! He even got a bulls eye! We then continued on in search of Football Golf. We had seen a pamphlet and after asking a few times for directions and driving a bloody long way we found it. It was heaps of fun kicking a soccer ball into a large hole just like a pitch and put course! I was winning by 2 shots after the first 9 and the final score was a draw! Oh and I fluked a hole in one! Was really good fun! The weather was quite overcast but still very warm! We then headed down the road and we had a round of mini golf. Just as we paid our money it bucketed down so we sat and chilled for awhile glad that we weren’t on our bikes and waited about half an hour for the rain to clear. Rudi won by 2 shots! Next stop we went in search of Big Buddha, we stopped at a temple that had a Big Buddha and thought we found it but later saw a sign for big Buddha so we realized we saw a fraud! At the fake Big Buddha were the cutest puppies. As soon as we stopped our bikes they ran up to us and just wanted cuddles, we wished we could bring one home! Anyway so then we went to the real Big Buddha which was down a very muddy dirt track with hundreds of potholes, was an interesting drive! Big Buddha was a large gold statue at the top of a big flight of stairs that looked out over the beautiful mountains and beach. After that we were both hungry so we jumped back on the bikes and found a nice English Pub in a small town along the beach. We both ordered a roast beef and it was amazing! First lot of food I have really enjoyed in a very long time! After enjoying a very yummy lunch in a beautiful setting right on the beach we continued on our journey. We stopped at Chaweng to see what it was like but was just lots of shops so we kept going and stopped at a look out point and walked down to the rocks on the water. We sat there for awhile and enjoyed what we could of the very dark and overcast view! From there it was speed demon all the way home! No falls or near misses today although apparently I scared Rudi when I went flying into a big puddle which had a big pothole in it you couldn’t see and nearly went flying off my bike, I had it under control though! As soon as we got home we went for a swim and a drink in the pool and it was quite chilly tonight. Bit of a cold breeze so not as nice as the last couple of nights! Rudi is addicted to the bike so he has headed into town to buy some more drinks and we are going to chill here and play some snooker then head back to the restaurant on the beach we were at the other night and enjoy some more shisha and some yummy dinner. Only one day left in Koh Samui…very sad! Ok well I wasn’t going to write anymore but just got back from dinner and Rudi said I had to make an addition to the blog! So there were no accidents on the bikes today but you cant take me anymore. We are sitting at a beautiful restaurant with table and chairs on the sand, candles, waves crashing and out comes my beautiful sirloin steak. One bite delicious…second go I flipped the whole plate off the table and into the sand, knocked the candle and shisha off and our drinks! It was a clean sweep and very embarrassing. Rudi and the staff thought it was hilarious while I just wanted to run and hide! The lovely staff made me another one but I felt terrible and was such a waste of beautiful food. We asked if they could put the steak I dropped in a bag and we took it and left it for a stray dog! Not completely wasted!
