A Koh Phangan Christmas

Nollaig Shona.....A mild disaster at the start of today..we went out for lunch and I realised I didn't have enough money so had to leave tina in the pub and drive back 20 minutes each way...I did meet an interesting English woman on the way back hitching a lift, she hopped on the back of the bike and we had a chat on our way into town. A roast dinner was on the cards and we knew of an Irish and English pub both serving roasts, we went to the Irish pub (The Harp) and in the true spirit of Authenticity the roast was nearly double the price of the English pub (The roast was over $20), that and there wasn't one Irishman to be found in the place, and the pub itself wasn't anything special. We went to the Mason Arms and had a turkey roast, it was so good 4 hours later we got another 1 to share. I had my first Guinness here in 3 months and it was a decent sup, I got a nudge off someone with a Dub accent asking me what the Guinness was like, the pub had a load of Irish in it, not surprising given the greed of the Irish pub. I headed long before the Queens speech and when I saw the David Beckham poster in the jacks I knew it was time to leave! We headed back to the resort and made our calls to friends and family and at this stage Christmas day was nearly over....Enjoy the snow folks and I'll enjoy the Sun for now!
