After Going Fishing We Decided To Have A Drink,

so where do 4 guys go to get a drink after providing the ladies with food? well the Winchester club of course! nice and cool with very good service, it is about half way between Jomtien beach road and Sumkivit on the road that joins the two about half way down Jomtien beach,
then it was off to some of the bars at the top of Soi 17 where it meets Tepprisit Road,
they are mainly karaoke bars luckily none of us felt like singing!
then when we returned the girls had cooked the fish and bar-b-qued us some filleted pork with fresh baked bread, just what we needed before we headed out for the night, into town and the Goodfellows had put this red canopy over there end of Soi Blues Factory, we still have not been there yet, but so far I have never seen anyone going upstairs,
Walking Street is now a lot more crowded than before,
this is the tree about half way down Walking Street, which has become a bit of a shrine,
we past this Turkish ice cream parlour on our way to see the fireworks at Bali Hai pier,
the day before the fireworks lasted for 15 minuete's, but this night we arrived, I took one shot and the show was over! the display last for just a few minuets, oh well better luck next year!
unfortunately the owners of the lease in Maureen's bar have decided not to renew it for the next three years, so tonight it is Nick and Maureen's leaving the bar party, so we decided to buy some cakes for the staff at the pier,
there was also plenty of fruit on hand as well,
this is the Bali Hai end of Walking Street, a few more people than last week,
lots of balloons on sale,
and the restaurants had a few more customers,
this is a strange shop just past the big tree in the street, it sells lots of beads and necklace's and has a small seating area inside for drinkers, it always plays loud music, but I did not see more than 5 or so seats inside,
now this is more like it, the street actually looks crowded,
and of course we had to stop for a Turkish ice cream on the way back,
the guy making the ice cream has a neat trick, just as he is about to hand it to you he pretends to drop it,
he well and truly caught Diana, she thought she would have to pay for another one!
it was excellent!
we then continued along the street towards Maureen's bar,
the nearer we got the more crowded it became,
all of the ladies in Maureen's bar,
we had more than a few drinks there then it was time to call in and see Juu in Champions, then a chicken leg for me and some pork on a stick for Diana,
whilst waiting for the food to be cooked the local bug seller called past and wanted to know if we wanted to buy some, yummy!
lots of different types of meat for sale,
I just stick to the chicken in the vain hope I will not put on weight!
cooked to perfection, now home to watch a DVD or two, Cheers!
