PHUKET
DAY 5:

Woke up to a really gloomy day that quickly turned into a scorcher. We wanted to get around and see more of the island, so we decided to hire a moped that cost 4 quid for the day! Mr F hasn't ridden a bike since he was 20 and Mrs F, who had to get on the back, had no idea of his bike riding capabilities! But he drove really well only having two near misses with locals that wasn't is fault....apparently!  We stopped off at one of the viewpoints further down the coast and took some pictures of the stunning view.......

We loved just cruising around and seeing the island for ourselves, stopped off for a couple of fresh mixed fruit drinks and carried on cruising. Once we had stopped for lunch, we realised how deceptful it can be on the bike when you've got the cool breeze blowing over you when actually its roasting! Luckily we both wore suncream but was overheating whilst eating lunch. Since we loved our day on the bike so much, we plan to hire it for another day to go the most southern point on the island....to be continued. All in all, an awesome day :-)
