Vendors and Real Estate Vending

We didn't get out of our hotel til noon, but had by then caught up with our darlings and blogs. I'd had a swim after brekky which we had early at 7am...since I'd been awake from 5.30am and reading outside on the balcony.

We wandered down the road til we could find a hotel to walk thru to the beach (we being on the other side of the road) and came to a white sand beach that reminded me of both Manhattan/Redondo and also Surfers Paradise with slightly less highrise/hotels, and had only gone a couple of hundred meters before we saw 2 massage Vendor ladies and finally - spontaneously got our on the beach massage together...not like ‘on’ on the beach, but on the proper wooden frames they use. Next along came a horse vendor that we'd read about...you can rent them $15 for 30 minutes. I was tempted and may do a ride tomorrow.

All sorts of vendors bring all sorts of stuff to try to sell you, but have official status to do so, wearing a permit. I was holding back....in ‘dont buy on first day’ mode, but Lori brought a dress, and got herself a pedicure. In the end we'd walked the 4 kms of the beach to get to the real heart of the action. Once there, about 6pm now, we were just happy wandering up and down all the little streets full of market type stalls vendors, bars shops shops and more shops..If I get asked to have one more thing made for me, 'special price for you, overnight be ready, special tailored...anything" I'll just have to have another massage!

Lori took a video of me watching my best Thai food to date, prepared for me, from the back of a rickshaw type mobile food station by a vendor woman, who when given a tip a quarter the value of the food was my new best friend. Understand I handed over $BHT40!

Whilst in the full flow of our travel day yesterday I calmly showed Lori a text that had come through from Patterson, saying property number 2 had been sold, confirmed by words from his follow-up email thu:

 

“Real Estate Agent did an open home on your ** street property today and had 10 people through....two very keen.  She said within 1 hour one called in an offer to settle within 10 days. I said **$$’s counter and it could be his.  She is on the way for me to sign the deal.....

 

I will keep you informed of your new life as it happens!  Trust you are having a great day.”

 

Here I share with you my new life as it is happening, my finding50, new life years to explore, to enhance, evolve and inspire 50 more.
