Aftermath.
The last two times I've been her I've headed straight home when the diving was finished. Because Maggie was coming too we decided to stay a couple of extra days and do a little sightseeing etc on land. In fact Maggie elected to do another days diving on a day boat with a couple of the lads we'd met. I didn't go as I'd arranged to meet Jamie (Batfish) from
Sunrise Divers and Chantelle (Ringo) from
Phuket Scuba Divers for a meet and greet and a few beers. I booked through Jamie the first time I came, and this time as well. It's easy! We met at the Sunrise office and then headed over to Chantelle's Karon shop on the beach....
....as luck would have it it turned out that the world remains as small as it ever was and Chantelle and I had some mutual aquaintances...it really IS a small world ya know.... I had a very enjoyable evening and it was very pleasant to go somewhere else except the boat!!
The next day Maggie and I had arranged a "tour". Actually, it's something I can highly recommend to fill in a day with a bit of sightseeing. It was cheap......and quite entertaining....
We got monkeys.....
..some shopping in a floating Muslim village...

...all in all....good fun, and well worth it.
But yes.....everything comes to an end and the next day that was it.......back to Japan and the start of a new school year!
..........with of course.....the memories.......
