Yesterday was breezy as we caught the after math of the storm but it was very pleasant down by the beach. I am not sure we would have sat out in such a wind in Padstow, but it brought the temperature down to a reasonable level.
Because it was cloudy the pool area was almost empty so Rosemarie enjoyed an unfettered swim in the afternoon.
In the evening we went back into Hua Hin to our perch above the Pacific and ate Rock Lobsters which were delicious, before another trawl around the night market to fill time before we could catch the bus back.
This morning we were up at 5.30 to see the sunrise again. This time we were successful and at 6.15 a radiant gold ball broke the horizon, much to Rosemarie's delight. We stayed until about 6.30 and then returned to bed. We were joined this morning by a gardener who was sweeping the leaves up and a Japanese female tourist who was wandering around listening to her I pod.
No pirates and no security guards either. It was perhaps a little early for both.
Today we pack up to move to Cambodia tomorrow we are looking forward to that and have no idea what to expect. We will have to get some Cambodian currency when we land as we can't get any before we arrive. About 3000 Cambodian Reals to the £ apparently. All these things are sent to try us.
Have no idea when we will next find a wi fi hot spot so our next blog may be a little delayed. All in all a very relaxing week in Hua Hin and Rosemarie can never again  say that I have never taken her to the beach. So, two objectives clearly met there then.
It seems odd that we have been so relaxed whilst Hurricane Sandy has created so much disruption. We have seen following that story with great interest and heavy hearts. We have been watching both CNN and the BBC world news and all we can say is how grateful we should be for the reporting stances taken by the BBC. About ten minutes of CNN is all I can take. There's my little rant for the day.
And so onto Cambodia.
