16th January 2014 - Farewell Rosie!



Simon and I rocked up at Rosie’s around 10am.  All was well, she’d completed most of her packing and as ‘check out’ wasn’t till midday, we sat and drank coffee on the balcony while Simon checked if all flights were running to schedule in Bangkok.  Unfortunately all was good, so no extended holiday for Rosie.  

After checking out, Si rode ahead to the new Eco office and Rosie and I walked to drop off bags etc, by this time we were all pretty hungry, so we went to Café Del Sol, to have a delicious ‘divers breakfast’ (eggs, beans, toast, bacon & coffee.

Remember that we had a manicure/pedicure the other day..... well Rosie’s nail polish has somehow changed into a foul orange, pink color so we decided to have one last pampering session  ..why not?!!    What made it special is the color on Rosie’s fingers didn’t really come off that well and stained her nails and fingers, so after a lot of varnish remover and scrubbing, they still looked pink, so with a smile, the Thai lady just put a layer of clear varnish on and said “beautiful”  hmmm

We both had our toe nails painted but at one stage or another, we smudged them several times by putting our flip flops on, stubbing our toes  ..the poor Thai girls were hanging out the shop door trying to repaint etc while Rosie and  I were concerned that we needed to confirm her boat ticket, taxi and collect her case which was being dropped off at the pier.  What a palava but so funny!!

By the time, we’d finally retrieved Rosie’s case, sorted tickets and organized a taxi from Samui ferry  port to the airport, we had about another half hour to wait until her boat came in.

We waited at the pier for the ferry, said our goodbyes with a few tears shed.... and we wish her a short and safe journey back home. Its been a great time, and so nice to have family here.... its just so sad when they leave.....
