Hi Guys, I have a small confession to make, I know this journal says I am actually in Magnetic Island but the truth is I am now in Airlie Beach. As this is the first opportunity I have had to update my site. So you may recall from my last journal that Sunday night was the night that everyone from the diving boat got together for a bit of a knees up!

Ok time for another journal, as you can see I have finally made my way into Malaysia, currently in Penang. After my last journal I decided that after 5 days of Phi Phi, I was more than ready to move on and last Friday, I managed to get to Lanta with very little effort on my part.
