hey all,
we have finally made it down to the islands and life is good!! after elaving Kan we headed back to bangkok by minibus and then pretty much got straight on a huge 'VIP' bus over night down to the south where we are now. the journey was a bit of a killer but there was airconand the seats reclined and we were treated to a classic 80s live bon jovi concert on the video screens! had the words to sing along nd everything!
we got to surat thani (southern mainland) about 4.30 in the morning and then had to get a 2.5 hour ferry across to koh samui.
it really is amazing here and well worth the trip! we are staying in the simplest beach bungalows which literally jsut have two matresses but we do step right onto the sand - its unreal and so brilliant! the weather is beautiful but hot and the sun is strong!! the best bit tho is the sea which according to a fisherman is 29C at the bottom!! its like havign a bath and cos its so shallow you can jsut sit and float. this is our fourth day now (i think) and our last but we havent really done much of note - sunbathing, swimming, socialising and sleeping have been our main occupations which means its not such a bad life! we are staying in a fairly quiet area on Lamai beach which is in the south but last night we headed out in Chaweng which is the main big resort - had a brilliant night with some people we met and saw some interesting sights that thailand has to offer - the ladyboys were out in force - quite fascinating really!!
tomorrow we are off to koh tao - a much smaller and quieter island where fliss will do her dive PADI and zoe will continue to laze.
having an all round rather cushy time at the mo - this part is the holiday bit rather than the hardcore travelling - the rest has been well-earned!!
hope everyone is well,
loads of love to all xxxxxxx
ps sorry for the abysmal lack of photos but the internet is so slow here last time it took ages. will try at some point to do some more xx
