Eventually it got quiet but then at 8:30 there were five gun shots and I assume that five unfortunate chickens were for the cook pot from the field full of them next door. We were starving and went to the bar and splashed out on a full English and told the bloke we wanted to hire a moped, he came back in and confirmed there was one left and he would save it for us, excellent, we wanted to see the other beaches and the waterfall in the middle of the island. It was cheap at 150 Baht a day, we went through the palaver of getting the damage check and gong through safety on the bike when he asked for our passports, 'passports?' we asked, 'yes as a guarantee on the bike' we refused to give him them as we thought it was a recipe for disaster, we offered money in place of our passports as a deposit but he refused so we went our separate ways. It was blistering sunny day anyway so we went to the pool and read my book, this story today was quite a disturbing one of a young girl effected by a Tenazadrine pain killer drug who was born with no arms and she set about revenge on the bloke who marketed it a bloke called Bruce Sturgess anyways she hacked off his arms with a chainsaw (the story was slightly more twisty and turny than that but that's what happened), we sat and caught as many rays as possible not stopping for lunch just a few dips in the pool and a few beers. We then grabbed a bite to eat at around 4:00 in the bar, Sarah's beer wasn't going down at all well and I asked if she was o.k, she felt a bit faint, so I did the decent thing and tucked her in at the hotel room whilst I sat on the balcony listening to my ipod and finishing the soft sods beer, I have to say tough Sarah doesn't like beer and as it's very cheap out here she is giving it ago, she usually manages two a day and actually found herself craving and enjoying one the other day in the sun with her book. Top beer swilling bird I thought, until she gets on the pints then she will be a monster of a woman, a man beast if you will! She slept for about two hours until I woke her up, I felt quite pleasant now after a few large 6.4%'ers and was eager to see if anyone was on skype. After the disaster the day before with t'internet we decided to go to the bar next door, A), because that tyrant didn't work there and, B), (and most importantly) the internet at the hotel was 100 Baht for fifty minutes whereas next door it was free so for less money we got two beers and unlimited internet. Pukker. I noticed before we headed out that my back was hot and a bit sore, when I changed my t-shirt I looked in the mirror and I was a beetroot, it was redder than that lad upstairs wang must have been this morning, I lathered it in after sun and a cold shower, it felt cooler. We walked round to the bar and climbed up some wooden steps into the greatest bar I have ever been in, it was a giant tree house, with UV lights illuminating everything white, a lovely little bar area, cushions on the floor and hammocks between all the branches of the tree which made the structure. I went in a hammock listening to reggae music whilst Sarah connected us to the web. We stayed for about an hour and ten minutes, then saw some lights further up the beach so we went to investigate, it was a little restaurant (you can't walk up the beach in the day because the tides in so we hadn't yet seen all of this), we decided to eat in there and it was delicious, it was now about half past nine and we went for a nutella shake in the bar at the hotel a sort of dessert really, it looked like wholegrain mustard but tasted good and sweet. We drank that quite quickly and as the bar was quiet we turned in taking the opportunity to catch up on sleep, it was nice and quiet until all the taxi's came to pick people up at around 12:30 as they pulled up just outside our room. They were to take them to 'Black Moon Party' on the other side of the island. It then was quiet again until they all returned at about 5:30 and some paddy d*** was singing football chants for ages at the top of his voice, there was also a yank doing some fairly bad freestyle rapping, which everyone thought was immense when in actual fact he sounded a bit special needs, I mean I am not saying I could do better and I am fairly sure I couldn't but knowing I am bad at something usually means I don't do it in front of people, he was no Jayze I tell you. We did get back to sleep when these animals had got back in there cage.

Sarah Dont forget the swing under the tree house bar (caveman was v impressed when i rote about it on facebook!)! That dinner was delish and very romantic that night - the nutella shake was however a disaster and nearly (only nearly) put me off nutella!
