Well helloooooooooooooo there!
Am now in Koh Phangnan, yup plans cahnged again, well i thought it would be unfair to miss out one of the three little islands while im here! plus......well i missed the full moon party, but am in town for the half moon party! Woohoo! Thats tomorrow night so will update you on that when im recovered! The half moon party isnt on the beach though which is a shame, but its in the jungle! How exciting!
Today i had a busy day! I went on a lil tour of the island, i rode on an elephant! So thats checked off my list now! Was really fun, but felt really sorry for my elephant cos she was really hot and slow, the other too heffalumps were steaming ahead while mine just trailed behind! But i fed her lots of bananas which she seemed to enjoy :) Then i went to see a Chinese temple, like the silly tourist i am i forgot to take something to cover my shoulders with d'oh! so had to put a towel over my head! was really pretty, i rubbed the buddha's big fat belly for good luck, rang the bell 3 times, and banged the drums 3 times too! photos to come, this was am impromptu internet visit so dont have my camera on me! than it was on to Wang Sai waterfall (i think that was the name of it, i'll correct it later if its not!) which was really pretty, but there hasnt been much rain so it was more of just a trickle than a waterfall! still swam in it tho! was really good until loadsa shrimps started tickling my feet and i freaked out and swiftly exited! then i went to Haad Khom, a really pretty little beach which is next to a little island called Koh Ma, which you can walk to along the sand that pokes outta the sea! I went smorkelling which was fun, saw lotsa colourful fishys, dont think im a natural snorkellist though, wasnt too good at it - couldnt get to grips with breathing underwater very well, but had a good times none the less!!
Just chilling out tonight, theres films on at the place im staying which is Same-Same Lodge nice and cheap and comfy :) so i'll probably just wacth them - not sure what im goin to do tomorrow except go to the big party!
thanks for all ze messages :)
will update soon with photos of me being all active trekking up to the waterfall.....yeah u heard right, i was being active! Still all in my flipflops tho, i think they're permanently attached to my feet now :)This blog bit short and sweet cos internet is more expensive here!! watching my pennies!!
speak soon xxxxxx keep thrifty xxxxxx
P.S.......Because she had no arms!!!!!! I tell that joke to people.......but no one seems to understand :) Idiots!!! Best joke around if u ask me! xxxx
UPDATE!!
hello! well updating you on my shenanigans of late on the island....went to the half moon party which was amaaaaaazing! loadsa uv fun and madness! i drank far too many buckets, danced in the absolute pouring rain, got muddy, got uv paint on me, laughed at really wasted people falling down the 'steps' to the toilet, weeped at the state of the toilets, argued over havin to pay 10baht for the privelige of havin a wee!, got the scariest taxi ride home with about 15 other people...dont ask... and ended up back at the hotel at 6 in the mornin! good times! didnt suffer too badly hangover wise, but i just chilled and watched films most of the day, took a break from that to have a foot/leg massage to relieve my weary danced out limbs!
writing this back in bangkok, arrived here at 4am after getting on the ferry to leave at 12.30 (midday) the day before! long journey! been eaten alive by mozzies, have been fine up till now but now they've gone in for the kill - 30 bites on one leg, 20 on t'other! very itchy! visa is due to run out on thurs (14th) so making plans to head to a border and extend visa. think i'll be heading to cambodia first now though...because its quicker to get there and by the time i would get up to chiang mai, i wouldnt have time to do the massage course and trek that i want to do - so plan is now reversed, prob goin to go to cambodia, vietnam then across to laosand back into thailand to chiang mai to do massaging and trekking :) all good fun, plans always changing! i got sucked into the beauty of the islands and didnt leave myself enough time but hey-ho thats the travellin way!
off to go and brave khao san road again! wish me luck!
miss you all lots xxxxxxxxxxx
