Believe it or not, I went to a new beach on Phuket. One day I will go through my blog and count how many different beaches I have been to. This one I had seen before over a year ago, but never made my way back to it.
This am I woke up with the worst head cold- watery eyes, runny nose, sore throat, teeth ache- but I decided that some sunshine would do me good. So I packed up the kleenax and put on my bikini.
I forced myself out aiming to hit Nai Harn beach. There was a huge black cloud above Kathu when I left, but when looking in the direction I was headed, it was nothing but blue skies ahead. So Mean Mia and I decided to risk it and took off with my beach matt and bottle of survival water.
I zoned out when taking a turn and missed my road. I started driving up a mountain and considered doing a U turn, but decided heck, there may be a view up here and I was right. The Windmill Viewpoint. I stopped to breathe it in and saw the Ya Nui beach down below. (googled to see its’ name and accessibility) I decided to change my plans and head there instead.
I was on this beach for about 2 1/2 hours. As the afternoon came, so did the locals and other tourists making their way after a days work. I decided to head back and there was a scooter- run -icecream vendor parked behind Mean Mia. He said “showers”. I sort of smiled and packed up my scooter and headed home.
Well not even 3 minutes later, I understood what he was trying to tell me. Right over the mountain that was protecting Ya Nui area, there were storm clouds. Rainy season is here and still fascinates me how one area on this island is completely dry while simultaneously other areas drenched. Needless to say, it was a wet drive home.
