Workin' Our Way Around The World
Hey guys its sammy here , well we have finally hit the island!!
Hope you enjoyed our pictures i absolutley oved the elephant and bamboo trekking although i have a sore back tocompensate for the rough ride . The best mode of transport i have experienced!
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city its a relieve to hit down on some tranquil and peaceful land - ko samui.
Getting here was one mission starting with the overnight train down to Bangkok fom Chaing mai( Northern thailand) where our journey took 16hrs ( due to accident on line) hardly suprising these trains are certainly nowt modern but a great sense and feel of adventure to them ,although time passed as we led in our little cabin , i add quite comfy considering it feels like you gonna break any minute with the sounds of creaking and shaking . Beyond that though is a cosy little bed with curtains and a night light so we kept ourselves amused with our new game IPOD -dance and miming to guess the song , yes sams weird mind is slowly slipping into mode but it keeps Jess entertained haha!! We made some cool canadian and south african friends which passed times and it was great to meet and chat to new people who are expereincing and have experienced what we are going through.
The only negative point i have to make is that Jess and I HAVE FOUND WE CERTAINLY are not your typical back packers so i name ourselves Flashpackers we love comfort and great hospitality too much and budgeting accomodation is not really for us, after spending 2 nights in a chaing Mai shack consisting of a bathroom outside hardly covered by plastic guttering and complete with free ghekkos and with the down pour of rain we are experiencing due to monsoon season it wasnt great but at 2.50 pernight we cant complain too much. We have made pack now that our first night in new place will be upmarket and from then on budget acc will be ok as long as clean and comfort is paramount. Does that sound bad???? I am slowly trying to adapt to my new name of Scabby Sammy Summers " Scabby as our friend david (soth african ) thought it was hilarious word not known to him as glamour is the new relaxed way for sammy ! Missing you all lots and thanks for your messages its great to here from you and brings normality and home to us although were so far away , love to hear whats going on back home and hope you are all well and safe take care love you millions
