I don't want you folks back home to think it's always fun, sun tan lotion, bikinis and shades on the beach. Sometimes we have "red flag days" just like Scarborough! I had to wear my cardigan for the second time since I came here as the temperature dropped to the top 70's.



     This is Kamala Beach, just north of the main tourist area of Patong. I'm told it's not so crowded on the beach here and it certainly wasn't today! The plastic mac came in really useful for my stroll along the prom, then  I had to content myself with banana fritters and hot tea in a beach restaurant.


     Since the tsunami, many warning signs have been posted around the beaches. It's always good to know which direction to run in should there be another natural disaster! Fortunately, there seems to be lots of high ground near the beaches we've visited so far.



     Oh well, there's always next weekend to top up the tan!
