Friends

Got up about noon, had something to eat, lounged on the beach for a while. I walked the entire length of the beach, which is a long way. The beach is 5km long. And the beach in front of Charlie's Huts is the best. There's lots and lots of really nice resorts all along the way, and these resorts don't even have the best beach property...the cheap backpacker joint does!

Started getting cloudy about 2:30, Court went back to the hut and set up her hammock. When I got back, I setup mine too. We laid in our hammocks, then about 5:00, Ben showed up.

Ben was our assistant dive instructor when we took our Open Water in Nha Trang, and when we left, he wanted to come visit us somewhere. So, he took a couple of weeks off, and flew to Thailand to travel with us.

Ben, Court, myself and Uta went for supper, then went back to the hut and had a few drinks, then went to Green Mango, but it was dead. Ben and Court stayed and had a drink, and me and Uta decided to check out Reggae Bar. Reggae Bar is a big open-air bar, and they had a live band, called Gemini, playing. Gemini are from Bangkok, and they were playing a bunch of dance/pop music, like Blue, Kylie, and the Ketchup Song. It's somewhat funny to hear some of these songs sang with a Thai accent, though. But they were extremely good. We stayed there for about 45 minutes, then headed back to Green Mango to find Ben and Courtney, and we met them walking back to the hut.

We got back to the hut about midnight, and went to bed.
