Hi All

Sorry we havent posted for a couple of days. Had a bit of a Drama.

We were driving down from Chumphon on Monday, about 400 klms to Phuket. Cal started vomiting about Ranong, on Burma border. He was throwing up about every 10min, so it took a long time to get to Phuket. We went straight to the hospital, as he was becoming severly dehydrated. So we arrived at Bangkok Phuket Hospital and they put him into Emergency. In the end it turned out to be food poisoning. We think the Novotel chicked + not nuked enough..... He was in there for 2 nights and only got out this avo + Wednesday. They treated him very well. Lots of medication, all by drip. He is feeling much better now. Cant eat a lot and he has heaps of pills to take every day. such a waste of the Hilton brekkies..

Well Phuket is fabulous. The beach is beautiful. Lots of white sand and warm flat ocean. Lovely to wallow in. Good for Cal. Cal and i are relaxing today and Georgie and Shane have gone white water rafting. Shane took the camera, so hopefully there will be lots of photos.

Geo leaves from Phuket tonight. She is a little bit sad and also very excited.

Phuket Hilton is wonderful. They cant do enough for us. The resort is magnificant. We have wandered down to Karon shops to get on the internet. Only 1 baht per minute. Nice and cheap. I will bring Shane down here tomorrow to load the rest of the photos on and let you know how they went rafting.

Cal will take it easy for the next few days, and then hopefully he can get back into by the time we reach Krabi on the 23rd. We would like to do a kyaking tour at night through the caves on James Bond island.

Went shopping with Geo yesterday. Geo had a ball. All Billabong etc shirts about 6bucks. So we are buying heaps. Geo has bought heaps of clothes and shoes. Not sure how she is going to wear it in the air force......
