Hi everyone,
We are having a disaster the pictures took nearly two hours to upload we were just starring at the screen the Internet cafe had the slowest internet made dial up look fast! If that wasn't bad enough we wrote a whole blog entry pressed published and lost it! So we have spent hours tonight just on this blog so we hope you appreciate it!!!!!
It is our last night in phuket, this place is quite phenomenal, plenty of entertainment, shops galore nightclubs everywhere. I can't think how many times I have been asked to go and watch a ping pong show we have enjoyed it here but it is very touristy And looking forward to our next stop as we have now been here six days.
We stayed here an extra two days as we got a good price and there is so much to do here. Our hotel is once again perfect, great facilities, clean perfect location even a swimming pool!!! We have spent many nights down bangla road the main strip just people watching with a local Chang ( don't worry Paul we have kept off the buckets!) the views of the lady boys are something you can't describe you have to see it yourself. I ventured out to watch Man U which was a disappointment yet again and was harassed by three thai workers not sure of their gender although they looked very feminine. I have never been so happy to see Lauren!!!!
We have done our first tour whilst being here. We went to the jungle it was a great day but very tiring. We loved the 5km white water rafting it was such an adrenaline rush mum you would have probably enjoyed this one much more exciting!!! We also trekked through the jungle to a man made waterfall the only time I forgot my walking boots I wasn't happy! After a thai lunch we had an hour on quad bikes through the jungle. Lauren did a test run but decided she couldn't manage on her own so jumped on the back of mine which after I think she was happy with . Lakes, long grass , muddy hills heavy terrain and potential ditches were upon me , I felt like Tom cruise haha ! We had a few near misses but nothing I couldn't handle myself ;) once we finished the quads we went to watch the wild elephants and to see a monkey cave which was a real nice end to the day !
There are plenty of restaurants here the seafood ones seem to be so so popular wish we liked it it's looks so fresh and clean ! We've managed to find some great food though we can enjoy at cheap prices so were happy . We've spent hours looking at all the shops/markets the copies here are so so realistic if only we had more room and money shame
We've spent the last three days on the beach as the weather has been great clear skies and 33 degree heat it has been lovely couldn't ask for more . The weather takes a turn tomorrow and we are excepting showers so we wanted to make the most of it . The tanning competition is getting heated between us but were not quite ready for the oil yet .. We'll let you be the judges .
I was finally treating myself to a thai massage I was so looking forward to it I left Lauren in the room while I went , only to get there to be greeted by a woman who had more of a stubble than me and swallowed my hands up in hers ! I started to worry and had a change of heart I returned to the room traumatised I'll have it wait till phi phi .
We're off to phi phi tomorrow looking forward to moving on to see what it has in store for us we haven't sorted any accommodation yet but we met a couple of Canadian girls and they've given us some great advice and tips. We have looked into it and researched where we want to go so should be plain sailing .....then again it is us .
We'll try to update this again in the next few days hope everyone is ok and your Monday has been as good as ours :)
Take care peace xxxx
