R&R(Romantic & Relaxed) Phuket - 14/05/2010 To 16/05/2010 (Part II)

Hotel breakfast; mediocre in my opinion

Our tutuk driver, Mr Man, whom we engaged whenever

we go to Patong Beach because Cape Sienna is located

highup on Kamala Beach

Phuket is hot, hot, hot! Bought a big hat from this lady

Unable to escape the clutches of Junky "M"

Hubs enjoyed 2 hours of body massage here while

I had an hour of massage and another hour of cuticle pampering

Idyllic soak at both Sienna Rocks and the hotel pool

after our massage

The overhyped and definitely over rated(food wise) Baan Rim Pa Restaurant

You can't miss the restaurant with its ice carving and huge golden signboard at the entrance

Beautiful staff and numerous accolades adorned its wall

The patio

Inside the restaurant; very romantic ambience and good view

Come here only if the ambience is of primary concern

e.g. a proposal and you have extra cash to spare for it is not cheap

The restaurant was so dimly lit that the staff had to give

each diner a table lamp so that we can read the menu clearly

For the record, we were dressed too casually(especially hubs) for at our next table,

a caucasian gentleman wore a tuxedo(yes!) and his partner a cocktail dress

Food which looked better than they tasted

After our dinner, we went to the Phuket Town Night Market

which is about 20 minutes drive from Patong Beach

and is opened only on weekends

Food and shopping aplenty in the night market to keep one busyYou wouldn't believe it but yes, we went back to Patong Beach

after the night marketing for a last round of seafood feast

before we leave Phuket! A dog's life?! A super fortunate canine
Back at the resort :)
Enroute to the airport, the taxi driver brought us to a popular

local stall which sells Mango Glutinous Rice. Yummy!!

Finally, my first and last drink in Phuket - Ice Buay!!

We had a great time in Phuket and indeed, it was relaxing and pretty stress-free the few days we were away from K but we missed her badly. Surprisingly, it was me who seemed to miss K more. Machismo act up for hubs? Hehe.....

Still, I hope to take a similar vacation soon. After this short getaway, I am now a firm believer that "couple only-time" is very, very important to keep a relationship healthy and alive (^_^)
