The seas were calmer today compared to the last few days and 300/Baht later I was in Haad Rin beach. I departed my friends and discovered my ATM cash withdrawals amount cannot exceed $500 US dollars a day. Unfortunately I needed double that to make it to the end of the trip.
After downloading Skype and loading $5 I called the collect number on my debit card and I was back in business. Paper in hand I rented a scooter and made off for the Northwest side of the island. I got a much needed massage at Haad Saalad beach and swam in the calm waters.
After a couple hours I was off to grab some more shirts and another pair of board shorts. I stopped and my favorite restaurant on the island, Mama Pooh's. Authentic, tasty and inexpensive eats always welcomed.
After a scrumptious meal I made my way back to Haad Rin. I met up with a bunch of people from class to share a water taxi back to our little bay. Actually it was very relieving seeing my home when we rounded the bend. It's such a peaceful place. Shanti indeed.
