22/04
Arrived at 8am, the bus was actually fairly comfortable (we went 1st class was still only $40 for 12 hours), massive seats, easy to sleep but the food we stopped for in the morning was terrible.
Had brekky in Phuket town and then got the local bus for $1 each (flat bed truck with canopy) to Karon Beach.
Checked in to Karon Living Room Hotel and went to a cool Bob Marley inspired open fronted bar.
Then hired a scooter from the hotel for $8 for a whole day and we rode down the coast to Patong. Driving here is crazy, people rarely indicate, often drive 3 abreast in a single rd, on the wrong side and as we found out today the roads can suddenly become backwards and you drive on the right hand side. Got pulled up by the cops asking for our licence. Steve was driving but apparently Ruth's IDP was enough, they didn't even look at it just sighted it from a few metres away. They were booking some other dude (not sure what for and dont really want to know).
Off to the Scandanavian bar down the road now and then off to Patong tomorrow to continue our journey :)
