Hi All
Sorry its been so long but we have are in our 3rd country since the last blog and are only just finding the time to up-date, so bare with us as there is quite a lot and I am a bit behind. (And i have to try and remember what has happened)
Our last few days in Thailand the weather turned rubbish again which was a bit disappointing as we found a beach called Thongtakien which I loved and wanted to go back there, alas. After a week of vomiting I got my appetite back just in time to have dinner with Sinko and Debbie at their hotel one night. James and I felt totally spoilt as it was 3 courses, in a lovely setting sipping Mimosa cocktails and in good company. i ate like I hadnt eaten in a week. Oh hang on, i hadnt!!
Also I have lost my apertite for alcohol. I suddenly cannot stomach vodka, I have no wine craving whatsoever and on 2 occasions have drank.....wait for it.....tea in the pub. Yes, good old Liptons. I dont even drink tea but I havent stopped since I have been away. Anyways, on our 2nd to last night I decided to have some wine. i managed 3 whole glasses in one night.
Our last day on Koh Samui, I have never felt so ill, even in the last few weeks when I have been actually ill. Nausea, tiredness, headache, the shakes and dehydration. James called it a classic hangover and if he is correct then I have never had a proper hangover in my life until now. 3 glasses of wine i tell ya.
I just made it to burger king on the back of "the beast", ate what I could and returned home to bed whilst James went for a last ride on the bike and a goodbye drink with Sinko and Debs. I just about made it to The Duke for a final drink and to say our goodbyes as we had planned on being home by 10pm as our pick was 6.00 - 6.30am. A pot of tea and 1 red wine later for me and a gallon load of beer for James, we left the pub at 1.30am.
Goodbye Koh Samui I shall miss you. I shall miss the family of Geko's that live on our balcony and in our room and make lots of noise during the night. I shall miss our crappy air conditioning that really never did work properly. I shall miss our hot and cold shower which was exactly that - hot or cold, no inbetween.
