Hello everyone,
Hope all is well in England and you are all keeping warm with all that cold weather. Is there still lots of snow? Well its lovely and hot here, about 34 deg today I think. Pure Paradise ;-)
I’m still in Koh Toa and really enjoying just relaxing and having a full on “beach holiday”. I’ve met some great people too. I’m still sharing a room with Alice, we were supposed to change rooms as she had her bag stolen the other night at this bar on the beach, and it had our room key in with the name of the place and our room number on it, so the hotel were a little worried that whoever stole Alice’s bag may come back for more, but there were no rooms but we had the locks changed instead which was nice of them. So many people staying at Bans have had their bags stolen at night but I am the sensible one who keeps her bag strapped to her chest at all times. It’s not worth putting it down for a second over here. We’ve had some great nights out, and I’ve managed to befriend all of the divers and the instructors, who are all staying at Bans resort, so we have all been partying most nights together. Most of the people here are either Dutch or English which is nice.
On Thursday, I went across to my little island that I fell in love with when Em was over. I went with the Finnish couple who I’ve got really friendly with, Maarit and Samuli, they are sooooooo sweet and so friendly. The guy Samuli also has some mates over here so I’ve been spending lots of time with Maarit, she’s a great girl and has already said that I have to go over to Helsinki and stay with them. We had a great day on the island and I even went snorkeling, really deep too! Which is pretty impressive for me as for those of you that know me, you will know that 1) I’m petrified of deep water, or if I cant see the bottom, and 2) I HATE fish. But the Finnish guys told me I had to do it as there were so many “beautiful” fish in the water and so I did it and I loved it. Samuliu took some photos underwater so I’ll pout them up soon. I did get a little scared though when I saw lots of Barracudas swimming towards me! Eeeeeeeek, I swam very fast and then that was enough for me. Fun day out though.
So I’ve mostly been spending the day on the beach working on my tan which im very impressed with. Its coming along nicvely, and its even better that’s its going to be so hot over in Oz next week too. Been watching lots of movies in the bars too as they all show them at night, We’ve also got friendly with 2 Dutch guys and a girl who are dead nice. Been eating dinner with them all most nights. Apart from yesterday as I had a pretty bad hangover. Maarit and I decided at 3am after a night out that it would be such a good idea if we stayed awake on the beach to watch the sun rise!!!! It really wasn’t the best idea as we were drinking that Chang stuff, the Thai beer and I HATE beer, I never ever drink it, but that was the only stuff that the supermarkets were selling at 3am so I drank it and felt yucky all day yesterday after having 3 hours sleep. But at least I didn’t spend ALL day in bed and managed to make it to the beach.
Oh yeah, another thing I have to share with you….. I am ADDICTED to the pancakes over here! Seriously I think I may turn into one. Pancakes with Nutella on are the best thing ever. Its my new staple diet, great hey! Haha, but I have also been good and have gone for 3 runs over here, crazy I know you’re all saying but its been really nice in the evenings when the suns gone down to run along the beach, I’ve been going with one of the Dutch girls. I have to be super fit as the Finnish guys walk so fast I can never keep up with them! Seriously they have the longest legs ever and I struggle to keep up. I asked Maarit why she walks so fast and she told me it’s the Scandinavian legs they have, I think maybe they all walk fast over there???!!!Its funny. Anyway Im heading back to my room now ( I’m loving having a hot shower every night) as we are having dinner early tonight and watching “Dream Girls”. Its supposed to be good. ( Ive got some great DVDs over here) Take care, missing you all lots and lots.
P.s Another thing Im obsessed with perhaps are the massages, the foot massages, I am being too spoilt. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
