The Monkey Goes Travelling
Well hello!!!!
Sorry it has taken so long for me to update everyone on my travels. I have been so busy it's mental.
Well the full moon party, where I left you last time, was amazing. We arrived in style on a speed boat, danced on the beach for hours. Met so many people is was unreal, got so drunk that we missed the boat home at 7am. We finally got home 5pm the following day, after the craziest boat journey I have ever had! But it was so much fun and would jump at the chance to go back anytime!
From there we headed off to Koh Tao, diving island. We spent 6 days there and I think that it is the best thing I have experienced during my travels. Being able to stay under the water for 45 mins and see the amazing fish was just brilliant. Saw a blue spotted sting ray feeding; I took loads of photos that I will put on soon. I can't believe I am now a fully advanced diver! It now means I can go down to 30 meters and explore, which I going to be a huge thing when I get up to the great barrier reef in Oz!
From there we headed back to Bangkok to catch our plane to Australia. It was only a 9 hours flight and the time difference was only 3 hours so we didn't get any jet lag which is always a good thing.
Arrived at the airport and didn't have a clue where we were or what we where going to do. But we were saved by some nice guy who told us about his hostel. Arrived at the hostel after a short bus journey. It's amazing living a student life again!!!!
We have been here now 6 days now and I have been out every night. It's crazy!!!! The people at the hostel are really nice and it really feels like home.
It is very expensive here so I managed to get Ellen and me a job one night when I was very drunk! We are now the cleaners for the hostel. I know what you are saying "me cleaning"!!!!! I know but it means we get our room paid for with extra paid in cash, we get $10 an hour and work about 20 hours a week! We have to start at 8 in the morning but we are finished at about 11 so its not hard work.
Ellen has decided that it is not for her and she is going to look for another job in the next couple of days. I am loving it!!!! The only problem with doing this job is that I still have not seen anything of Sydney. Not even the opera house!!! I know. I am going to do that this afternoon.
I think I have fallen in love with Australia, the people here are so so nice and its great to be in a place where you can understand what they are talking about and don't get ripped off all the time, like in southeast Asia!!!! Think that I might stay here longer than at first planned but I will keep you all in the loop so don't worry!!!!!
Anyway I can't stay on here for hours like I did in Asia, its too expensive now!!!!!
My phone is not working at the minute I am hopefully going to get another one sorted in the next couple of days and will forward you my number.
I hope that everyone is ok and safe
Take care
Lots of hugs and kisses
Me and monkey (who by the way is fine!!!)
