Day 129 - 13th June 2010

Felt tired this morning when we got up.  I dont think we'll be watching the Germany game tonight at 1.30am   ;-)

All we had planned for today was an afternoon dive 'Junk Yard' to put up some new signs,  that we'd painted & varnished last week.  The dive was supposed to be at 9am but due to the footy, it was rescheduled to 1.30pm.

When we arrived at Crystal, there was only Nath, and 3 DMT's  ..most of the others that said they'd help out were either hung over or sick.  Lightweights!!!

Anyway, not to bother as we took extra tanks on the boat and managed to get two long dives in.  The first was attaching signs and to move the weights system and on the second dive, we removed some tarpaulin, that was looking pretty messy and then went for a fun dive around Junk Yard.

Every time we dive Junk Yard, we're seeing more and more species of fish and marine life, it's just brilliant.

After the dives, we packed up our gear and rushed off as we had a couple of houses to look at.

The first was just up the road (between Mae Haad and Sairee) A 1 bedroom apartment really, big balcony, great view, tastefully decorated livingroom/bedroom, AC,  Plasma TV, kitchen and a decent size bathroom.  It felt really homely.

The second place was at the far end of the island and what seemed on top of the island. It was huge.  3 bedrooms, massive open plan kitchen, lounge and bathroom.  The whole of the front and side of the house was windowed as the view was spectacular ...you could see the whole of Mae Haad, Sairee and Nang Yuan   ..the only downside apart from being so far away, was that it didnt have internet access otherwise I think we'd have snapped it up, just for the view itself. 

Back home and still memorzed by the view (which we're kicking ourselves now that we didnt take any pictures) ..we discussed the pro's/cons and decided that it would  make sense to take the apartment on all counts really.  So tomorrow we'll meet up with the landlord Ronan and discuss dates, money etc.
