Wednesday, our third full day in Samui was marked by the horrible hangovers we were both feeling from last night's escapade in Lamai. We woke up and had a little breakfast, but instead of heading into one of the towns at 11 we decided to lounge by our pool instead. This resort is very private and secluded so it was nice just to hang out and read by the pool with nobody else around. Eventually around 2 pm we did decide to get the car into Lamai for some lunch. Once we got into town we checked out the lunch scene and decided we both wanted Italian fare. The restaurant we stopped at was called Tropicana and the owners were 2 Italian dudes. Cole opted for the spaghetti with garlic, oil, thai chilies and Parmesan. It is his new favorite dish and a really yummy mix of Italian and Thai flavors. We will definitely be whipping that up very soon when we return home! I ordered the spinach ravioli with a Gorgonzola sauce. It was awesome and it was a treat to eat something cheesy, since thai food doesn't really incorporate dairy at all (they do eat lots of eggs though).
After our extremely filling and carb-loaded meal it was already 3:30, so we decided to treat ourselves to hour-long foot massages before heading back to the resort. This time we stopped at Herbs massage which is the biggest chain of massage parlors on the island. A full hour foot massage is only 200 baht ($6) and was so incredibly relaxing. They really work your feet, lower legs and even do a mini head/shoulder massage at the end.
All of that Italian food and foot massages made us pretty tired, so after we got back to the resort we decided to have a night in. Sandalwood is pretty awesome because it is a very small and personal resort, and one of the many perks is that they have a large selection of DVDs that you can take to watch in your room. We grabbed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and ordered a little room service. Not a bad day, it was very relaxing and exactly what wee needed to recover!
