Before the couple's overnight Fantasy Suite date, Fletcher and Hayes explored a local marketplace in Thailand.
"Seeing Robby pull up on that little tuk tuk made my day! Talk about an entrance, am I right?! This market was one of the coolest places I've ever been to. You didn't see much of it, but Robby and I got pretty adventurous!" Fletcher wrote in her People blog.
"We tried all sorts of insects, and fish and let me tell you, it wasn't that bad! When you travel to places like this, it's always best to just experience everything!"
Fletcher said she still remembers that day with the former competitive swimmer "so well."

"It was hot as heck and when the storm came it was like the heavens opened up for us," she said.
"It also knocked out the entire town's power! Robby and I had been shopping in the market shops when the power went out, and that's actually why we went and got the foot massage! But after all that walking I think we definitely made the right choice on that one," Fletcher explained, adding a winking face.
The couple was fresh off an "amazing" date with Hayes in his hometown of St. Augustine, FL.
"There was the concern about his ex [Hope Higginbotham], but I felt as if we had moved past it," Fletcher said.
Hayes was accused of dumping Higginbotham just to appear on The Bachelorette. However, the suitor insisted to Fletcher his choice to leave the three-plus year relationship was part of an effort to change his life upside down following the death of a close friend.

Hayes allegedly moved, quit his job and broke up with Higginbotham around the time of late December.
"Talking with him on this date in Thailand I knew we were on the same page and it was an azmazing feeling," Fletcher revealed.
"I remember growing so much more confident in what we had. I decided there was nothing more holding me back from wanting more time with Robby. And going into the Fantasy Suite I was excited to spend alone time with this man I was in love with."
Fletcher capped off Hayes' section in her blog by saying, "It really was the perfect date."
