world travels
Hi all, we are loving the islands so much more although It's so damn sweaty here and it's not even sunny today so you can imagine what it's like with the sun out! Thailand totally slows you down and lazes you out...and makes you catch annoying expressions from other travellers like 'hey?' at the end of EVERY sentence or 'for sure'...Damn Canadians!. Since we got down south to the islands we have been doing a lot of dossing, more being ill and recovering. We took part in a bit of full moon party action which was just unbelieveable...you have to see it to believe the intensity, Basically its a trance filled drug induced sand fest. Amazing, a bit much for my liking but amazing to see. we've since moved on to Koh Tao which is totally opposite, I dont think we have sat on a chair for about 2 weeks...its cushions and candlelight by the mellow sea or nothing. Lovely. Kev and I are now PADI certified to swim the open seas and terrorise little fishies with a poking stick and darth vader style underwater gasping. It is truly amazing it's like being in an underwater aquarium with huge schools of fish and just huge colourful fish in general. The most beautiful thing we saw was a hawksbill turtle grazing off the rocks..so frustrating under the water though because you just want to shout OH MY GOD HOW AMAZING!!! LOOK AT THAT!! but all you can really do is force a sound into your breathy thing and raise your eyebrows lots whilst waving your arms frantically and remembering to breathe. haha. also saw lots of yellow black and white angel fish, deep blue and orange butterfly fish; massive puffer fish and more. I have a feeling we are going to stay on this island for quite some time because its so peaceful, not as stressfull as Thailand mainland at all! Kev is going to do 2 days of advanced diving whilst i learn some thai massage...they're just such good massages. HOpe you are all well, I think that's all for now...we really have just been doing a whole lot of relaxing!! Love Nik and Kev xX
