Bonjour je m'appelle guitar hero, started me diving yesterday, turns out I ain't a diving geezer! After about 40 minutes under water I still couldn't calm me breathing so was struggling bigtime, then the instructor put lead weights in me pocket and got me to deflate my BCD and sink to the bottom on me knees and start doing skills like take your breathing regulator out ya mouth for a few seconds then put it back in and blow the water out which wasn't terrible but then I had to take my mask off then chuck me regulator behind my back for 10-15 seconds then put my hands in front of me and then have to find ya regulator, blow the water out and put ya mask back on and blow the water out ya mask and tilt ya head back, this messed me up and I was in a right 2 & 8, the next skill was they shut your bottle valve and you breath the last of the air in the regulator pipes then when you got no air you signal them and they open it back up, well this done it for me and I was seriously crappin it and couldn't recover so had to bottle it like a wimp and gave him the offski thumbs up sign ha, to make it worse the other girls done it good so I had to do the walk of shame round the pool and sit it out ha, bit gutted but can safely say it ain't for me! Got 3 days left here at koh Tao then Saturday morning I'm heading back to Bangkok where I stay 1 or 2 nights, then Im leaving Thailand to make my way to Cambodia. There's 3 other birds who aren't diving here so I'll have decent company while the other brave girls do their diving today and tomoro. Friday night we got a bar crawl which will make my 15 hour journey to Bangkok sweet I reckon! Its our last night together then so will say goodbye to them all, even though it's only been a month it feels like I've known them for ages so will be bit weird but sure I will meet more quality birds and geezers on the next stage. We had a massage on the beach last night after a few beers and dinner, you can grab a beer and take it with you while you get a massage, bliss! I had an hour foot massage and the other girls had the full Monty. I was chillin with me beer listnin to the tunes when she cracked all my toes by pulling them hard, I nearly spat me beer out! I fell about which started all the Thai birds laughing which made me laugh even harder as their larf is hysterical! After that I couldn't keep a straight face was rolled up. Just when I managed to grow up and calm down, to my right there was a bird that was with us who was complaining over the last few days that she feels fat with all the food and drink she been having and we been like shut up its fine your on holiday like, well her massage lady said " oh you have baby" to her, which was it the whole place erupted with laughter and after that we were just a load of kids in school pissin ourselves, the bird took it on the chin tho bless and laughed too and said naa just beer belly! Crease up! Had a big brekky on the beach which I'll miss loads as you can't beat it. Gonna get Annie to drop me down a brekky to Weston shore when I'm back so I can reminisce, don't think it will be the same tho!? Took a scooter up to the mountains this morning to see the views the other side of koh Tao, lovely stuff! I felt like maverick from top gun only without the leather jacket and about 600cc down haha. Got a kayak Monday and paddled out past nang island and round a few bays and up to mango point which is a quality little area, on the way there was pretty easy but on way back I was against the wind and waves so was givin it the big one with me paddles but dint make much progress so was a hard mission back, when I got back to the rental place I was like jelly haha but was a cushty little ride. There's a load of speedboats with outboards tearing around the bays here which reminds me of home, I'm gonna miss all that to be fair, but was time to move on. The girls here are getting a little emotional bout everyone leaving so it's all hugs and kisses all the time which I ain't complaining, gonna feel lonely back home when there ain't a load of birds hangin off me arms, could get used to this ya know. Anyone even thinking of traveling, get ya ass in gear and do it! Anyways hope your all good back home, put another shrimp on the barby for me, laters guitar hero x
