First Thing,

off to the bank,

 it was still early so there was not much traffic,

 but a couple were looking at the Pattaya Beer Garden for I guess breakfast,

 the television above the entrance to Walking Street still working fine, well done Samsung,

 I am not sure what the advertisement is but it appears it is the biggest ad the best! during the day Jess called round followed by David from East Coast Real Estate, we have known each other for years, we chatted the afternoon away also we swapped a few BluRay DVDs, then I just had to go outside and admire his brand new BMW, what a lovely car, Alex then called by, after our guests had left it was time for us to put our glad rags on,

 as we were out for our evening meal,

 to Ali Baba on Central Road, on the left just before it joins Beach Road,

 we were joined by Mr. Tony,

 'Cheers!', from all of us as we tuck into our starters,

 we had ordered chicken chat, prawn puri and chicken samosa,


 all of which was absolutely delicious,

 after a break our main courses started to arrive,

 as well as chicken tikka masala we had ordered a mixed grill type of deal for two, it was served on a hot plate, it was huge,

  Diana could not believe her eyes! the dish consisted of fish, prawns, chicken, lamb and cheese, there was so much of it Diana took a bag home with us we could not eat it all!

we were a bit early, as we were leaving the restaurant started to fill up, the price of the meal with many glasses of wine and soft drinks plus two bowls of poppadoms came to 2,600 baht, (£52.60   $81.50),

it may seem a little expensive for the three of us but the food here has so many different flavours that for us we think it is worth the price,

then home feet up for Hugo in 3D, as the cover says 'A Magical Masterpiece' and it is, the sets and camera work left all of us spellbound, the story follows the adventures of Hugo, an orphan who learns how to repair clocks and lives in the railway station, but he has a connection with a shopkeeper there who sells toys, Georges Méliès, it is difficult not to give the plot away, but it was a marvellous film, also before you dismiss this as a kids film this was Martin Scorsese's first PG rated film in 18 years, as another aside if you do buy/rent/borrow this film be sure to watch the 'extras' the true story behind Georges Méliès who is a central character in the film is fascinating, after that Mr. Tony left for home (it was 01.30 in the morning) and for us we were off to bed.
