15/05/13
I went and had a coffee first thing then I picked up some pastries from 7/11. I made a beeline towards a dive centre called Scuba Junction as I had read good reviews and it had small groups, laidback staff and the free use of a dive computer too. I booked a couple of fun dives for tomorrow morning but I went back there twice more during the day to ask about other courses, I hope they didn't get fed up of me. When I wasn't at the dive centre I spent most the rest of the day on the beach with Melanie and Loraine (Swedish and Scottish girls). At one point we went and got ice creams and I realised that it was the first one that I had had since travelling, I think I just hadn't bothered to waste money on such a luxury item when it could have bought me a coffee or 2 cans of sprite with the money. In the evening we went out for a meal to a restaurant that was doing all you can eat pizza for 200 Baht (roughly $6.5/£4) I ate $20+ worth of pizza (2 and a half 12" pizzas). The girls left to start a pub crawl before I was full but I caught up with them at a bar (even though I wasn't drinking because of diving). The staff at the restaurant found the amount of pizza I ate amusing, the lady serving the pizza kept giving me 2 slices whilst everyone else was only graced with one, I am sure they were very thankful when I finally threw in the towel(/napkin) and left. I am not sure I will be welcome back there!
