Now it is our last full day at the Marriott and after breakfast, we found out how to get to the lower pool. As it was during the week, not many families were there so I thought we would be safe at the lower pool despite the kids play/pool area being behind it. There was only 1 other couple when we arrived and soon another man and couple were there and that was it for the afternoon. Again, Andrew went swimming and I saw another high stair drop off so I elected to just stand in the water on the steps I could reach. Was there for about 15 minutes and decided to get out. My walker was right next to the pool entrance and just to the right of that was the single man on a double bed tanning himself. I stepped out of the pool and onto the tile and boom! Over I went as I had slipped on the very slippery tile and fallen down on my right side and hit my hip and shoulder. I think I really scared the man in the tanning bed. So that was a bit of a shock and I could have hurt myself more if I had been about 4 more inches to the right as the tanning beds have a metal frame. I was able to get up and slowly get back to our chairs and umbrella however so much for the massage the day before!
We then decided to go back to the room where I could rest in the coolness of the room before dinner. We had planned to go for dinner at the restaurant that overlooks the beach and is next to the pool where I had fallen. After a nap I did feel a little better so after sun set at 5:30pm, we moseyed down to the Fish Bar for dinner. And what a dinner it was! I had a seafood saffron risotto that was to die for! I have eaten a LOT of risotto in my life – the amount of saffron in this risotto plus the FRESH seafood was unreal! I actually wrote in Google Translate to the waitress how good it was and how I had just been to Italy last month and it was better than the risotto that I had eaten there. They were very pleased and the chef came out to thank me! We took some night time pictures on the way back to the hotel and stopped at the bar for a night cap as we realized we had not used the “free drink” tickets that we were given when we checked in! All in all a very nice, but not very busy hotel!
Tomorrow we are being picked up by the same driver who took us to the laundromat and driven to Pattaya where we are staying for the next 5 days.
