Day 13- Thursday 13th March- Phuket, Thailand

Breakfast was from 8am and I thought it finished at 10, so at 9:30, I rushed to get up, only to find it went on till 10:30. For breakfast, I grabbed some exotic fruits and placed some bread in the awesome conveyor toaster on the buffet table. A bird landed next to us while we were eating that was completely bald headed. We named him Patrick Stewart- he was really freaky and Hannah couldn't look at him.
After breakfast, we immediately hit the pool. We picked a spot in the corner of the pool area that was relatively shady. I read my book for a bit and then listened to my iPod. After a couple of hours, I decided to dip in the pool for a bit.
We could've had lunch by the pool, but decided to retire to the room for a break from the sun. I ordered another cheeseburger and the girls did the same. While we ate, we watched more Green Wing- we were a bit addicted.
Back down at the pool and someone had stolen my shady spot, so I had to sit in a bit of a sunny one. I had some sunscreen on, but felt the need to top up constantly. After half an hour, I fancied another dip. When I went up to change, I noticed very red shoulders, and as the light changed, very red knees and forearms. I don't know why I ever even try to tan; it just doesn't happen. Nevertheless, I hopped back into the pool and stayed in the shade. I stayed there for ages! I love swimming! Sarah said she thought I'm part fish.
In the evening, we had to order room service again because it was 'Elvis night' in the restaurant, which costed 400THB. Instead, we watched the green wing finale and ate pork noodles. Afterwards, we channel hopped, stopping on crappy Thai sitcoms, soaps and gameshows. We started watched 'Take the Lead' with Antonio Banderas, but switched off due to it being shite and slept.
