Morning dear devoted followers of my faithful writings :P
Just a short entry today, its only been a few days since my last so even you lot cant expect me to have THAT much to update you on! But ill give it a go anyway :P
So im in Koh Toa, another one of the thai islands in the south, and also where my lovely tour ends...sad times i know :( but dont cry, facebook will keep us together and the sunburn love will continue between us all :) Well, we got to Koh Toa thursday afternoon - pretty relaxing journey actually which was nice, and when we got to the hotel boy were we in for a surprise! it was AMAZING!! its called seashells and seriously, this is luxury right now! the pool is like landscaped and s***! our room is imense as well which always helps matters :P so basically we are all very happy bunnys! oh and i made a new friend! well technically Dan and Iain made a new friend, frederick, the dragon. now by dragon i mean lizard that happened to be rather big and living behind dans bed, giving him a slight fright when he first put his bag down, thus causing the girly scream that led to me and alice rushing next door and finding him running scard of said lizard. this obviously led to me making friends with it and laughing at how scared dan was :P but yes, frederick is my new friend and i love him dearly. and no dan, he was not < THIS BIG >, more like < this big >.....grow some balls.
That day was mainly spent walking down the main strip doing some much needed shopping, and no, after 3 islands and god knows how many shops, stalls and stands, i still cant find a single bloody bikini or pair of shorts that fits me. FML. The search continues though...i may get the A team or X-Men involved...i hear they're good? Next day was pretty chilled, most of the group went snorkelling but i opted to stay behind and laze on the beach all day...and get 2nd degree burns to my belly....i meant to do it, honestly! When they all got back it turned out they were all horrifically burnt as well so yay! we all looked ridiculous together, group bonding some people may say...others may call it the beginnings of skin cancer...i prefer the former personally :P we celebrated this fantastic burning bonanza with a crepe. the way it should be. and OMG these crepes were imense, not the usual thai crap 3 inches thick pancake they try to serve with breakfarst, no no no these were off the street, from a little french man with a little stall who knew his way around a spatula i tell you that! we had many. me and alice went back for more. he was our friend. :P
Our last night consisted of a really nice meal at the resort and then a short excursion into town to visit the local beverage establishments...one of which had a sign outside it that read "dont drink water...fish f*** in it"....that should give you some indication as to the general tone of the evening! we ended up in a place called lotus bar, somewhere that Tui had recommended, and it actually wasnt run by her friends, AND they didnt steal from us OR perv on us!! who'd have thought it! a few buckets later and there was some pole dancing, some dancing, alice vomiting into a bucket and then replacing it back on the table (my personal favourite of the night!) and some fantastic moves coming from Toby! oh and obviously we ended up dancing / swimming in the sea fully clothed with drinks in the dark to cheesy 80's music....obviously....so yeah it was a fantastic night! and yes we may have got some funny looks from slightly confused locals when we walked soaking back to our hotel at 2am....in our defence, everyone was doing it! and i blame the buckets, there's something funny about those damn drink buckets...:P
SO here we are then, told it was a short one! The group has left now, or most of them have anyway, and me and alice are here watching some random diving instruction video in the bar, just because we can! oh and they keep feeding us which is always a good thing! we are off to phi phi tonight on the night boat....i want to say its going to be nice and comfortable....i want to say a lot of things but reality says it may emotionally scar me....it may kill alice all together...in which case i will definitly take pictures.
