Krabi, Thailand Day III
Woke up to a rather cloudy morning, thus scratching our plans for island-hopping.
First breakfast at the Verandah. Eggs any style, plus coffee, fruit juice and mini-selection of cereal and bread.
As we were breakfasting, had the curious sight of Muslim women arriving and going somewhere further up our B&B. Now where do all these Muslim people go to eat???
When we explored the lane after breakfast, found a bank beside our B&B. The streets were still quiet, shops not open yet although it was already 11+ Krabi time. Weather was bright and clear now, but we had missed the pickup times for the island trips. Went back to our rooms for more cable.
Ventured out around 1+ Krabi time when we figured the shops should have begun to open.
Ventured further up the main street and finally found a halal eatery. As we were scrutinising the menu at the front, we were waved in by a guy around our age.
Nobody seemed to be approaching us when we entered the restaurant though, making us wonder if it was not open yet like the experience the previous day. But someone finally approached us with the menu.
Lots of variety, but somehow don't sound as scrumptious as lunch the previous day. Decided to order the King Prawns. The lady taking our order started on about our order but could not understand her. She called over the earlier guy, who apparently could speak Malay. she began explaining what was the ingredients in the dishes we ordered. Beats me why she had to do that.
The guy meanwhile decided to sit down and entertain us. Said he had noticed us wandering around the day earlier. Asked us what we had been doing (err.. nothing?). Even offered to lend us motorbikes so that it'd be easier for us to go around. I'm sure he was quite puzzled why the Malaysian girls that we professed to be didn't know how to ride bikes!
Lunch when it finally came was pretty disappointing. My prawns sure showed no semblance to being king of anything. And since the restaurant was just by the road, we kept getting attacked by flies, and then me by a kitten who tried to jump onto the table.
Decided to walk down to the beach. Though shops have started to open, it was still pretty deserted. Everyone else must have gone to the islands. Barely 15min into enjoying the beach though, it started drizzling.
Rushed back to the main road. And decided on some more spa pampering.
Shopped for a bit then went back to the tailor. Our clothes weren't ready yet, though. So had takeaway of fried chicken with glutionous rice from a roadside stall. Then bought chilli sauce from the minimart.
It might not look like much, but it sure was yummy. Wanted to enjoy the ice-cream we left in the fridge the day before but it apparently had melted down.
More TV, more reading before we ventured out to the tailor again. The shop was pretty busy when we reached. Had to wait a while before trying out our clothes again. Mine were fine, but HD had to get her pants refitted again.
The tailor promised to deliver her pants to our reception by midnight and packed nicely the rest of our clothes.
