	To the left, Phuket lies in the Southern most part of Thailand. To the right, a detail map showing Phuket island with the Phuket International airport in the North. The map is market where Martin stayed at the Karon beach at Phuket Ocean Resort. Very nice hotel. This is opposite the town of Phuket.
	Departure from Norway
	The trains in Norway are worn down, old stock, poorly maintained. Norway should have better. The plane was 6 hours late due to the return plane didn't get off the airport in Abu Dabu where they stopped over.
	Martin is waiting too. Here with a pint to pass the time and his trusty PC bag with his laptop. The tax-free is always busy. Here are Martin's stomach medicine Underberg. Tastes horrible, but do good?
	Out traveling, Martin always stop at a seafood restaurant. As this one at the Oslo airport. One of the specialties was cured whale meat. Really tasty, but a little cold.
	Being up since 0500, Martin fell asleep after the meal. Two red haired grannies on the table next door. Having their early morning beer.
	At long last time to board. In the background, as it turned out, Mr. Outhouse in his whit hat. A real, brutal, vicious dick most probably from the Balkans. Most probably a war criminal. A more unpleasant piece of human shit, Martin never met in his life, At this stage, Martin didn't know this. Our plane with 399 passenger and 14 crew ready to take off.

The next day, Tuesday March 11th, we arrived around 1300 hours, some six hours late.
