Another long day of travel from Bangkok to Phuket. I got to CC Bloom's last night after a car ride that seemed to last forever! I was so tired but I couldn't sleep in the taxi because I was in awe (and terrified) of the driving conditions. People on scooters everywhere, people loaded (and I mean LOADED) into the back of trucks going 50mph or better. I read online that many Thais and tourists die in traffic accidents, it's no surprise to me after my experience yesterday.
Much to my excitement I discovered that this quaint resort is modeled after the character CC Bloom from the movie Beaches, which is an old sappy favorites 8-) 'Everything here is just as CC would have wanted it to be', reads a little sign on the bar. Im still getting used to the time difference, I tried my best to stay awake last night but ended up sleeping at 6pm. I woke up around 3am and walked around a little, took a dip in the pool, and realized the bar was open. I made my first english speaking Thai friend! His name is Top, and he works here at CC's. His biggest dream in life is to come to America, according to Top that is what most people here dream of. When I asked him why, he said the economy.
I planned on checking into Rawai Training Camp today but I have decided to take a couple more days at CC's to get on a better sleeping schedule before embarking on my 7 hours of day of training. Here are a few photos from CC's this morning.
You can't really tell but I am the at the top of a mountain, and the ocean is what you see in the distance.
Um.. this morning it was dark and I accidentally killed his brother via bottom of sandal... 8-(
Swimming pool at CC's. Isn't it lovely?
Breakfast this morning, I was blissfully dining alone 8-)
Another shot of the swimming pool. I love Thai decor, its so colorful and vibrant.
That's all for now. I'm off to catch the shuttle to the beaches, and explore Phuket today. 8-) Choose a beautiful day. <3 Tiff
