We are back from sunny Phuket... the end of a dream vacation and back to reality. The load of laundry from our trip hasn't even fully dried, but Mark and I are already planning for our next trip there! Our friend's 'apartment' where we stayed in was more like a 3 storey penthouse perched on top of a hill, and we were spoiled rotten by his live-in housekeeper who took care of all our meals, cleaned up our rooms, did our laundry, took us sightseeing at all the famous beaches and arranged for our nightly in-house massages. This is far from the 'budget holiday' which we had originally planned for and I certainly am not complaining.
Our host aka owner of the apartment (the same guy who gave me the four-leaf clover from Ireland) gave us a surpise welcome by turning up at the airport to pick us up... it was totally unexpected because he was supposed to be in Vietnam on a business trip, but a last minute change in plan cut short his business trip and he was able to fly over to Phuket and join us for one day. He's travelled all around the world and had amassed heaps of nice carpets, furniture, paintings and accessories which he'd used to furnish his lovely penthouse.
