From Bangkok To LA
alright folks hows it goin? been on the ocean waves for a few days, and i swear im still swayin. dont get too excited about this one cos the trip was pretty rubbish.
we boarded the boat on monday, was a little drizzly but not too bad. had some welcome champagne all good so far. headed straight for our resort on south mole island. had pool sauna tennis golf gym, didnt get to use any of them tho, cos of the weather. bars were good tho!the island had two the first was doing cheap cocktails so we had a few of them, then headed off to the backpacker bar. we had a good steak dinner then started on the drinkin games. we had to drink faster than the person opposite us, bex won her bout every time. v proud! we all got fairly drunk (as you can see from the photos) and went to bed about half twelve.
had to get up at seven next morning, didnt get up till half past, whoops. the rain was absolutely peltin it down. got on the boat hoping to escape the rain. no such luck. rain didnt stop pretty much and the sea was unbelievably choppy. the deck hand said the weather was the worst he had ever seen. after three hours (and a lot of sick overboard) we got to whitehaven beach. we were dropped off while the staff made lunch, they said they would come get us if it startd to rain. they didnt!on the beach for two hours in the rain was not good. got back on and had quite a good lunch but the weather was not getting any better. bex couldnt decide on inside or outside so we got absolutely drenched, and we were stuck on hte boat for another three hours wet cold, and bex was feeling sick. got back to the resort had a shower and went for dinner. they tried drinkin games again but only four people played!woke up today and bex was adamant she wasnt getttin on the boat, so we didnt. me and bex stayed on the island for a bit and got the ferry back.much better!we landed but not at the harbour we had left from so we decided to walk, asked some1 how far it was and it was 9km. not happy. we started walkin and a car pulled up next to us and a little old ladies head popped out, they asked us if we wanted a lift, we immediately accepted. they were an old couple from melbourne so i dont think we were in any danger ;) got back to airlie and its boilin hot which is good. now tryinto see if we can hire a car for new zealand. dont worry bex wont be drivin!!bex just told me to write that we were supposed to snorkel on the reefs as well but couldnt cos of the weather, and that the birds in the pictures joined us for breakfast and a game of cards this morning!no joke they were mean poker players!ne best be off gotta sort out this car (wicked!)
