Day 14 (Monday 30th October 2006)It's all gone wrong!!!! I'm afraid we never made it to Ko Phi Phi today! We awoke bright and early as we were told, only to be greeted by nobody at reception!! Marc awoke some Thai bloke from his hammock, but by the time he'd found our tickets, we were too late for the ferry...despite the best efforts of our crazy taxi driver! To make matters worse, Marc hears Spartans have lost their first ever game...t...

Day 12 (Saturday 28th October 2006)We're absolutely itching all over!!! Those jungle mozzies had it off with us yesterday and now we are really suffering!! Aunty Wendy, you better ship us out some more repellent!!!!The morning was a bit cloudy and it rained on and off, but it did brighten up in the afternoon. Not put off, we had brekkie and kicked back on our beach...even when it's cloudy it's still bloody hot! We snorkelled the re...

Day 10 (Thursday 26th October 2006)After sleeping like babies we awoke for brekkie. After scoffing our American breakfasts we strolled on to the beach.

Day 7 (Monday 23rd October 2006)Today we snorkelled the excellent reefs off the islands of Koh Chang. It was incredible. If you could've given Marc unlimited air supply, he'd have stayed there forever! The journey down to the boat was funny...Marc hanging off the back of the landrover as Sarah's seat hung off its hinges! From there, a rickity old boat took us to four snorkel sites.Before so much as dipping a toe, from the top of th...
