Miloping

On Saturday we went shopping at Jung Ceylon. This shopping centre is situated in the Patong beach area and turns out to be a massive shopping complex. It is split into 4 main areas.

Maybe I was wrong, I think we actually went on the elephant ride on Thursday, but hopefully no one noticed. Anyway on Friday we went canoeing in the caves around Phuket. The mornning started being picked up from the hotel at around 9am. While our hotel is nice and quiet it is a long way away from anything in the surrounding countryside. When we arrived we were taken by boat out to the islands.

A few days have gone by since my last post. We went to Phuket Central festival and it was a little disappointing, lots of shops, but not that great. We were there from about 12 until 2pm. On the way the hotel shuttle bus went via the gems factory, where Mrs Stevens was able to pick up a pair of earings and a nice necklace.

Mrs Stevens and I have been hanging out in the Chandara resort in Thailand for the past few days. It is a tranquil location, our room consists of a lounge, kitchen, giant bed, large bathroom with a massive bath, and a balcony with two deck chairs and a swimming pool. Everything is either in a nice stone or a dark wood, and our room is located near all the resort facilities.

I am now married. This happened on the 19th September at what was the most stressful and the most fun day of my life. Afterwards we stayed at the Park Hyatt at the rocks which I must say is an awesome hotel. I would like to stay there again sometime. We then spend almost 15 hours flying from Sydney to Phuket. We made a stop over in Hong Kong where Ying spent a lot of time looking into shop windows as the shops are not open at 5am.

When we got to Phuket, I was amazed at the lush vegetation and pleasant weather, after just getting out of a Sydney winter. The hotel itself, I think its called the Chandara, is really awesome, we get our own private spa, the people are very friendly, the food is awesome and all the amenities are good quality. I have to go swimming now so I will write aggain soon
