Missin meat balls
The news today reported that of the thousands of tourists from Europe travellin in and around the disaster areas...Sweden's the most severely affected...with at least 1500 Swedish tourists missin...
Which got me thinkin...on the 18th of December...a week before the killer tsunamis hit...micheLe and i had headed out to Coral Island (off Phuket) for a day of sun and sea...the driver had picked us up from our hotel and drove us over to the pier in Chalong Bay where hundreds of eager tourists alike waited for colorful speed boats to moor...where they'll be taken to paradise...
I took this picture while waitin for our boat to arrive...and though i didnt know it at that time...micheLe and i had lunch with the 2 Swedish ladies in the foreground of the picture...strikin up a conversation...they told us it was their first week in Phuket and they intended to stay for 14 days...no doubt the freezin winters back home were a good reason for the length of the trip here...they're nice ladies throughout...
When the waves hit Phuket...it would have been their second week of holidays...
I hope they survived...
