Today we were elephant trekking and I was well excited, we got to the bar area at 09:00 AM as instructed and a big fat bloke came to pick us up in a pick up truck, we eagerly climbed in. The journey took us up the mountain and through the rain forest (by road) and took around 20 minutes. As we pulled off the road and into the elephants house we saw some of the elephants eating on the side of the road. Now I was excited, Sarah had never seen an elephant before (we...

Today we decided to take a leisurely walk around the Koah Sok National Park, we walked round to Morning Mist Bungalows to check out the deal we had seen the day before, the woman behind the desk was a nightmare, I approached her and she said in a harsh, half talking half shouting voice 'YES', so I said 'I would like to enquire about this deal, pointing to it in the book' 'we don't do this any more' she replied, so we left. We walked back to our friendly bungalows...

Dolly Parton woke us up and we got up and had a cold shower, that was enough to wake us up, we headed down to the very closed reception area at 05:45 to wait for the bus which would arrive between 06:00 and 06:20 AM. We loaded up the WiFi to check on Sarah's Facebook and some great news had happened while we were sleeping, Jess and Paul our good buddie (who I am to be breast man for) had had there first child Niamh Jean Gibson and mother and baby were doing amazi...

Today was a fairly brilliant yet boring day, we had decided to spend our last full day at Rattana around the pool. We got up had some breakfast from the shop which consisted of hot dogs (of course), then hit the pool, it was around 11:00 when we got there and sat in the sun all day until beer o'clock (about 15:30 today). Forever in and out the pool to keep cool, reading 'Jeremy Clarkson's - and another thing' we had a terrific day. We head back to the room at aro...

Rise and shine! The sun was out, I checked myself in the mirror - I looked tanned... well more tanned than the day before, Sarah was winging (in a cute way) for me to go to the shop to get us breakfast, I agreed and trekked all of 100 yards to the shop and got two hot dogs, of course I smothered them in tomato sauce, I also got a bag of raisin buns and a pot of Nutella, our kid loves Nutella. The joy on her face when she discovered it could only be likened to a k...
