Me And My Travels
Hi ya Everyone
Hope you are all well and that work ok? I am well and loved Chiang Mai and was so lucky to have a nice group of people. On my way back from Chiang Mai I took the train as it was the same length of time about 12 hrs but I could have a better nites sleep as it was a sleeper train than on the bus. I was meant to take that train as after being on the train for about half an hour I met a lovely couple from porstmouth but they have been living in Bangkok for a while teaching english. The guy comes down to newquay ever so often to surf with his girlfriend so If he does we are all going to meet up and me and his girlfriend were messing around on the train and putting on the guards hat and taking each others photos.
I liked Koh Samui but where I was staying was more of an honeymoon place as there was a lot of couples but I had a good time as went on tours near enough everyday. I went snorkelling on Koh Tao and Koh Nangyan. The coral at Koh Tao was very beautiful and I loved being near the fish. I also went on an island safari where I went to see waterfalls and was the only one in my group to go in and have a swim, to see elephants and have a ride on one of them. My guy on my elephant made me a ring out of the bamboo leaf which was nice. I went to see a crocodile show where this guy put his head in their mouth and pulled thier tales and annoyed them and then asked if anyone wanted to come in, no way you must be joking. He pulled their tales to get them up on the rock in the middle so everyone could see them. Went out for a nite in Chwang with some friends which was fun and had a good nite.
As I really loved snorkelling and could never get it before, but never know why as it is so easy what was I missing all those years ago. Never mind glad I tried it again as it is so nice to see the fish underwater and be near them. I thought I would try to do Scuba Diving and just do two fun dives for a day and if I liked it would book on the course. I did it and passed which I was very happy about as you have to take your mask of under 18metres and then put it back on, I never like this as I have never liked water in my nose but you get used to it and our teacher was really good. On our last day we had to do two dives off the boat and we were videoed walking to the boat, putting on our gear, doing our buddy checks to make sure each other had everything and that is was all working properly, jumping off the boat, under water and when we had to take of our mask under water at 18metres. We had to put sunglasses on and then do a dance for the camera which was fun and I did it witout any problems. Hoping to do some more diving in Australia and you never know may get my advanced divers. It is something I have never thought about doing before but loved it and I love being so close to the fish under the sea and touching them. On the 28th May I have decided to go to Cambodia for two weeks which I am looking forward to on the bus which should be fun, as my friend went their and said it was very nice.
Take Care
