07-Nov-99 Sunday:

Cecilie Jacobsen and I left Tønsberg, Norway, at 15.23 and headed for Gardemoen Airport, Oslo by train. We were airborne at 19.35. Landed in Stockholm an hour later and had to wait 3 h 30 min for Novair to take us to Phuket. At 23.55 the speaker told us that technical problems were at hand, and we had to wait three hours in addition to the previous three and a half. Hence, Novair sucks... NB All prices mentioned in the report counts for one person.

08-Nov-99 Monday: Day 1

Landed at Phuket Airport at 20.40. Had to wait an hour for passport control and luggage. A minivan to Phuket town costed 120 B, and we checked in at the dodgy Hotel Tharvan for 140 B. After listening to a Heavy/Thai concert and consuming some beer at a local pub, we retired and incidentally, we heard a Barn Owl in the backyard of our hotel.

Stayed at a brand new bungalow resort. It was quite OK, but creepy with a lot of bugs on the floor, geckos in the ceiling and two mice behind the wardrobe. The locals cooked excellent food and had an impressive Varan bengalensis as a daily dinner-guest.
