hello everyone, long time no speak, we are sorry about that, has been pretty hectic and also expensive internet wise so have waited to find a cheaper place. So tash has been and gone, we stayed on Ko Samui for 3nights which was lovely we found a nice beach bugalow for us all and the beach was really nice too, very quiet, peacefull and turquoise coloured seas:) we hired mopeds for a day, on the first afternoon, we went around just exploring really, found a nice beach, that had a very expensive resort on, and we hirde two kayaks so greg was happy:) went around for a bit, the water is so clear...then drove back. the next day i had an accident on the moped, as i was driving one on my own and greg had tash on the back of his moped. it wasnt that bad, just went around a corner with a flat front wheel mwhich led me to slip. I was wearing a helmet-thankfully as it had scrape marks on not that i remember hitting it?!i grazed my knee quite bad and my shin a little, but that has healed. Was just a big shock!!so drove back and didnt really want to get on one again on my own, dont mind if greg drives though!!
Then we got the boat over to Koh Phangan, which is kind of a party beach, we stayed there for five nights, one in this holiday resort with lots of brits but we used the pool even when not styaing there,but just didnt really feel like thailnd. went to a pool party and had my first bucket-litterally a bucket that they put ice a choice of alcolo, red bull and a mixer-VERY STRONG!!!and the red bull is different here-apparently contains amphetomenes?!so havent had a lot of those!!then we got a boat with some chillean people and went around the whole island which is alot nicer than the party beach (only stayed there due to easy walking distance for the party) greg and i went snorkling, he saw a small sting ray and we saw lots of neon coloured fish, and lots of coral. The waters here are very shallow also, so have to take care not to damage the coral.
Full Moon Party was on friday and it was CRAZY!so many people on the beach i cant even discribe how many!!!stalls upon stalls of bars and food vendors, lots of drunken people and very load music, but it was a good night and we got in at about 5am!so still trying to recover from lack of sleep!the next day tash left for bangkok and has made it safe...greg and i went to the beach and it stank-lots of people were using the sea as a big toilet and it showed the morning after-not nice. But the beach was fairly tidy lots of rubbish bags with bottles in though, and a few people just waking up!! so we stayed one more night, and then left at 6am this morning(sunday) happy birthday becky!and happy easter?!first time i havent had an easter egg:(the chocolate isnt the same here!!eventually got here after the traumatic transport here-it is such a joke, as u book it through the travel agency but they dont take into account how many people they give tickets to, so when u arrive to get a bus there arent enough seats. The Thais think u can fit and u must get on the bus or u wont make it today to your destination-even though there are loads of bags that wont fit on the bus. so we took another, and then squished on the ferry which took us here- Ko Phi Phi. But the ferry was slightly scary, at one point we went over a wave and the bow completly submerged under water making the whole ferry rock... so slightly on edge then!but we made it here in one piece and didnt follow the crowd in finding the usual accomodation, we are on a separate beach, where we have to take a boat in order to get to the mainland, which is pretty cool!and is cheaper than places here, so are pleased we made that move.
We have a week before we fly to australia, but have to travel down to singapore so have about five nights here, will visit Phi Phi Ley (where the beach was filmed) but cant stay there as is protected. want to do a scuba dive, and it will only cost about 33pounds,but we dont have enough money, as are surviving on gregs as my card got sucked into an ATM machine 10days ago, but a new one is being sent to Desmond as that is the only address we have for aus, otherwise we'd have to use the credit card....so hopefuly that will work out. so not sure about diving but is a hot spot definitely!
photos-had a virus on my memory crad from a computer so had to wipe it clean-after i copied them to a disc so i have them but will take longer, so will do it next time we'r here. Just wanted to update it as havent communicated in ages!!
Hope everyone is well,love from us both
