Apologize in advance how long and boring this one might be for some...and for the horrible grammar and inconsistent verb tenses. (Such an English geek I am, I know) Yesterday we woke up at 6am for our 630am pick-up from Utopia Bungalows on Ko Samui. As soon as we walked out into the garden area it started to pour rain all over us. We waited for our ride and as soon as we got into the mini-van the rained stopped. Of course.

Hello again. Yesterday we woke up early for the boat ride to Ko Samui.

Buckets are, for those who dont know, literally a bucket...like a sand pale with redbull, pop and your choice of liquor. The swedish guys ...

Been on Ko Phangan for the last few days. Loving it so far. Had a few days out to work on our tans and are proud to say that there have been no major sun-burn issues. Only injuries (if you wanna call them that) are the misquito bites all over my legs. Mike did an inventory count the other night and founf 53 bites alone just on my legs and feet. BRUTAL i tell ya!
