Hello! Been in Koh lanta now for a week, flying up to Bangkok on the 21st then on to KL after about 6 days. Hope everyone's well. thanks again for all the emails (and texts luce- i always wake in the night for another gossip update!love them!).
Loving Koh Lanta, it's a bigger, cheaper island next to phi phi. Its really spread out but very beautiful. We're staying at a gorgeous hotel, with english tv, air con, maid service (she even folds our clothes!),mini bar etc- all the necessasities for backpacking all for ten pounds a night! Its opposite where Mattias and Mari ar staying so we have dinner on the beach etc. had a lazy 1st few days here, rented a scooter an explored a bit.
Met a lovely elephant, and went down some scary caves and on a trek all in flip flops! The german guy just laughed when we turned up and he saw our footwear. I thought it would be a gentle stroll and a nice walk in a cave- we didn't think we'd be climbing up a rock in the jungle and climbing up and down bambo ladders, wriggling through cave openings and crawling in bat caves,all without any safety gear! was quite the thai experience!Somehow the thai guide found out i hate spiders and made me climb a ladder with the HUGEST spider i have ever seen under it,whilst i was crying and Larry was laughing :-(
We're doing our PADI open water Scuba diving course over these 4 days, which is lots of fun- will update you if i pass. our instructors really nice. we're had 2 days theory and practise. tomorrow we go to a cluster of islands and start to explore! cant wait!
Take care everyone.
lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
p.s. Chea- thanks for telling simon and ben, hopefully we'll meet up if we cross paths.x
