Lisa -loo and Jim-Jam get released into the wild
The journey over to Koh Phangan went fairly smoothly, with the exception of the heavens opening just as soon as we began the walk along the (long, long) gangplank to the ferry. Wouldnt be unusual in the rainy season, except it only started as soon as we left the protection of the snackshop, and finished as soon as we boarded the boat. Without exception, everybody else on that boat was bone dry. Que?! Bloody Val and her rain cloud!
We were accossted by a sprightly young fellow who went by the name of 'Chad'. Chad seemed like a genuine sort. His favourite saying was 'Oh My Buddah!' and he didnt walk, he skipped. I'd trust him to provide me with quality accommodation for my first night on a new island, you'd think. Well don't.
Upon arrival, we were taxied to an old cabin -based -horror- film set. It was so dingy we decided to go for dinner, which turned into a few drinks, which turned into a very graphic game of 'I have never...' We were joined by a very friendly boy who also liekd boys. As was to be repeated many a time on this trip, he took a shine to Jimbo. He particularly liked to cup Jim's butt cheeks. Jim was not so happy with the situation and seemed to be unimpressed with our cajouling of said blossoming relationship...
Corn passed out on the table, and Bo displayed her ability to pee everwhere excpet the 'toilet' hole. When Corn did wake up, she showed us how to wear the toilet hole on one's foot. Dont think that fashion will catch on
When I awoke and went outside, my first thought was:
'Very close to beach' Chad had described.
'Very close to estuary of waste' Chad meant.
And the sea was a good twenty five minute walk out onto the beach.
So we hauled ass out of there, despite Bo almost dying from alcohol poisening, and Corn showing us her horrifying boil that had doubled in size and filled with puss overnight. I'm thinking the foot down putrid toilet did not help.
