The return to the mainland was bitter-sweet. We already missed the diving, but we knew that more adventures await us. We started off with delicious dinner at our favourite restaurant in Khao Lak, where lobster was the star of the evening.

We decided to spent the rest of vacation on beautiful Phuket Island.
We settled down in Phuket Town. This part of the island is not known as the best place to be as a tourist. Therefore perfect for us. It was not crowded and a lot of local people live there. We found a very interesting restaurant in our guide book owned by Thai chef, who was spending some time in Italy. Thus his food is supposed to be a mixture of Italian cuisine with Thai enrichment. The restaurant is simply called The Cook and this name was already promising enough. Nevertheless we needed to experience that. From the street it was really hard to find restaurant, since the restaurant's logo has almost fully faded away. Once we found it, we went inside. There were a lot of pictures of pizzas with all sorts of toppings like green and red curry with chicken, pork with coconut-milk, sea food, etc. We were amazed after a waitress hand over a menu. Our decision was quick: green curry pizza with chicken and shrimp pizza.
Food was delicious and we were certain to come back. We rented a scooter and started our journey around the island. One of the reasons we visited Phuket in particular was to accomplish another visit of the Hard Rock Cafe. Therefore, we headed off to the west side of the island called Patong. As a matter of fact this is the most touristic place in probably the whole Thailand. Patong is a half an hour of scooter ride away from Old Town where we were staying. We arrived there in early afternoon and we saw a lot hangovered young and old people, weird dressed men and women and yet a few people still drinking in a bar or club from previous night(s). We were looking for Hard Rock Cafe and voila...
Again we were not disappointed about HRC, in the middle of afternoon there were only few people inside the cafe nevertheless we experienced live music of a local band.
View on the street we awesome, specially this 3-wheeled-pancake-maker.
For a dinner we chose The Hooters where the food was very american-ish.
