Day 12 a.tamu.and.a.beach

a quick visit to your BIL office to drop off some souvenirs, then you're at the weekly market, a rather popular one at donggongon. the market is big and consists of almost everything from sundry to fresh produces of greens, fruits and meat to seafood.

you like to stroll casually despite the stint of the drainage and rubbish nearby.

 you enjoy asking questions about the veg that you never see and the sellers happily answer your question.

 sea products ranging from sea corals to dried salted fish and dried shrimps

 fresh seafood

 local rice, these are not fragrant like the normal thai jasmine rice but being unprocessed, you probably got more nutrition from these rice...

some handicrafts, in this case the traditional tribal beads and what you know as nyonya belts also available from the stalls

you got some thing for dinner and also some snacks for lunch and in between the bites. apam balik and tofu fa for yourself. he had a dumplings and a glutinous rice fritter.

the weather seems promising, so you head to karambunai again, this time really spending your lazy time, lying on the beach bench and just do nothing. the cloudy sky makes a perfect sun tanning afternoon. you swam in the sea for awhile, it's calm and you have no chance to jump with the wave. so you return to your bench and little you know you dozed off and fall asleep.

 a random picture, what caught your attention is not the two floating flowers but the arrow sign that made up by the shadow of the roof that reflected in the water.  awesome to think out of the box.

you're grateful and you have no complaint for an "uneventful" afternoon. this is exactly what you need. rest and relax, happy days with flip-flops. you don't even bother to take proper picture but just some random shots, and spent most of your time in the pool, swimming happily!
