Indigo Pearl Phuket

one of our balconies!
Well we are back from Indigo Pearl resort in Phuket. Had the most wonderful time! The resort was so beautiful and the service was nothing short of 5 star. we stayed in an amazing Suite room with 2 balconies, an outdoor bath tub, the biggest bed i have ever seen and a huge walk in rain shower! There were 3 great pools, one with a swim up bar where we sampled the strawberry daiqiris and pina coladas! There were 4 resturants on the resort and we enjoyed lovely food. We went out one night to a resturant on the coast. we only just made it as the driver did not have a clue where we were going! he asked all the local people who did not know where it was either, but finally we made it! it was well worth it and the food was outstanding, the chef came out and told us about each dish and said he could make anything we wanted really! was not easy being a vegi in Puket, even at the hotel, almost everything had a meat in it. But i had some lovely Tuna steaks and banana curry so i can't complain! we also went on a boat trip to the islands and did some snorkeling, well i tried to! As soon as i looked under the water and realised how many fish there were and how close they were to me i freaked out a bit! The thought of them touching me was too much to bear! I tried for a bit longer and swam along on Owen's back but had to get out after 5 mins-I have definately developed a mild phobia of fish! It rained a lot on the trip too which wasn't great but we did get into our books on the traveling between the islands. I also had an amazing pedicure at the spa and Owen and I had a 90min massage. I had lots of time to relax and reflect on life/our time in Singapore and what is important to me now and where i want to be in the future. So i have returned to Singapore feeling very refreshed and relaxed and happy. Owen is feeling very relaxed too, although he had to go to KL at 6am this morning and is away till friday which sucks. Here are some pics of the trip! xx
