Koh Phangan, Thailand

27 April - 1 May The bus ride from Bangkok to the pier was about seven hours long and we arrived at 4am. We waited until 7am and then the boat set out for Koh Tao and then Koh Phangan.

Adam and I have eventually gone away on the trip of a lifetime. As you all know I have had it hard the past couple of years and now finally I am going to do what I have wanted to do for so long, relax, and focus on finding purpose. From St Petersburg to New Zealand and everywhere inbetween, we miss you all xxx

Tricia O'Shea Hi Sarah (& Adam) Just got this address from Denise. Love to see you when you are in OZ. We will be returning to the UK from the end of April until towards the end of October when the house will be shut up . Otherwise we're about 60km north of Bribane on an easy commute route and 7km from Bribie Island with easy access by car to the sunshine coast. It takes a little longer to the Gold Coast.... about 2 hours to Surfers. It's a lovely part of the world. We've spare rooms, clean sheets, a washing machine, a pool and you'r free to come and go as you please. Have a great time. You'll never regret doing this. Tricia
