Today was what one might call a “damp squib,” but that wouldn’t be terribly accurate; it was an extremely sopping wet squib! We saw, and waded through, waterfalls, rivers and small lakes, and that was just in the market we visited. π The monsoon rains chose today to teem down upon our boat trip out across Phang Nga Bay to see the islands, but in spite of getting drenched to the bone, I have many photos to share with you, but not tonight. It’s been a long day, so I’ll just show you that I did manage to find some ‘Rhythm‘ here in Phuket, after all.
Last night, there was a very talented duo performing in the club bar. They certainly had lots of rhythm, when they did the fantastic Eric Clapton number, “Layla.”
The show last night had a very special import, all the way from the ‘US of A’. You all believed that Elvis the King was dead, didn’t you? Well here he was, right before my eyes, asking us in a very rhythmic way, not to step on his “Blue Suede Shoes.” π
Tonight we had a show performed by all the staff here. There are 21 different nationalities represented and they put on an impressive “Lion King” themed musical, which as you can imagine, had our hands-a-clapping and our feet-a-tapping.
Of course, one of the songs with the best known rhythm, and which had the whole place jumping, was,
“A wimoweh,a wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh,
A wimoweh,a wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh,
In the jungle the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight.”
(You’ll have me to thank, if you can’t get that song out of your head for a while.)Β π
Hope you’re all having a great day. My bed is beckoning, so I’ll catch up with you all tomorrow.
Sorry to hear that it rained on your parade π If its any consolation at all it poured with rain in Cape Town yesterday too and is still raining today.
I saw that you are expecting snow down there this weekend, optie. Had some rain here toady, but were still able to go out for a while.
Thanks for the earwig
No problem. π
*groan*
Tee hee
Great fun enjoy it
Thanks, Roly.
looks like so much fun, elvis is such a classic!
Yes he is. This Elvis is very much alive and well, and tells us that he’s doing another show on Sunday. π
I think once Elvis left you he came to Newlands and had coffee at Melissa’s π
Well,I just met him at at the info desk here. He’s a Dutchman from France, and has never been to Memphis. He looks quite different without his all-in-one wig and sideburns. π
π take a photo and post if you
He just looks like regular guy. You wouldn’t think. “Elvis” if you saw him in his glasses, and red Club Med T-shirt. π
Hope you slept well and that today is dry!
Thanks, Tandy. I did sleep like a log, but today is wetter than ever. I’ve never seen so much rain. π
Takes more than a bit of rain to spoil your parade!
Drattit, now I have Wimoweh to a Blue Suede Shoes backing! I’ll get you for this …
I think that would sound just great, Col! Should really catch on. π
*sways from side to side*
Hehehe. I can so imagine you doing that number, SC. Did you see me parasailing the other day? π

Ooh you are having so much fun,enjoy!! Love the Lion king song.
I just woke up to teeming rain, matron. Hope I manage to find some fun today too. π
Nice one, another day, and yes, thank you so much, I now have The Lion Sleeps Tonight stuck in my head π
No problem, ailsa. I dreamed that song last night, and woke up with it still in my head. π
Hi AD, certainly was great fun;)
That’s for sure. π
