January 25, 2014 - .... but I don't speak Cantonese !!!!

.......Let me just start by explaining that I have been unable to post for the last bunch of days because after we arrived in Hong Kong (and my intention was to catch up on the blogging in the hotel !!) whenever I tried to go to the website, it came up in Cantonese.  As you might imagine, this put me at a great disadvantage and I was unable to catch up.  However, I seemed to have worked around the problem and plan to catch up on the last bunch of days as we sit out at the airport waiting for our flight home to Vancouver !!! ........

So here we go ......January 25, 2014 – Last evening together in Phuket ....

Cam and Ken headed off to Red Mountain Golf Course, to play in day two of the SLAG tournament .... in their fancy “golf outfits” which are specially made each year for the tournament.  AND the players have new outfits for each day !!  These are the outfits for the Saturday that Cam joined the group to play.  No problem picking them out on the course .....

 

 

 

 

The plan was for a relaxing catch up day for Dina and I .... Dina, who spent 3 hours driving the boys to the golf course and back, winding her way through terrible traffic,  (not so relaxing) ... and me, who spent a frustrating number of hours trying to blog with a computer that is waaaaay too slow & not cooperating.  (also not exactly relaxing). 

Needless to say,  Dina and I headed off to the beach in the afternoon,  for a VERY relaxing hour long massage !!  Lovely ....  (no photos of us sprawled out on the beachside massage huts ... thankfully !!  )  :-)

Home for a clean up and we then headed to the Adaman Grill right on the beach, for a beautiful dinner and a STUNNING sunset.

 

 

 

Sharing plates of appetizers .... phenomenal food. 

No wonder they call Thailand "The kitchen of Asia" .....

 

 

After dinner, we headed off to pick the boys up from their day of golf.  (Luckily the traffic was nowhere near as bad as Dina had experienced in the morning.)

 The golf tournament sounds like it was GREAT fun.  The players were all dress in those godly awful outfits .... looking pretty dapper & easy to spot !?!?!

Red Mountain Golf Course was apparently gorgeous (photos don’t do it justice !)  but VERY challenging.  Cam enjoyed it immensely even though he wasn’t happy with his game (apparently Tiger Woods has no need to feel threatened.)
