swisstoni's livin the dream!!!!
Bonjour!!!!
I got back to boring bBahru today from the Perhentian Islands.....i wish i could have stayed longer but there are no banks or ATM's on the island and i was running out of cash!! Anyway they are absolutely stunning.....sooo chilled and realxed...although for most of it we didn't have time to relax we did our open water diving course which was fantastic!!!!.....I'm s*** scared of the sea (when i cant see the bottom) and i HATE fish....but somehow i managed to overcome my fear.....although i did have a few dodgy moments....it takes a bit of getting used to breathing with a regulator (it's a diving term....get me!!) and when we were just in the practice part (the shallow part of the sea) i paniked a bit and wouldn't go under!!!...they had to put more weights on me to get me down...then we had to to skills like take your mask of....swim a bit, put your mask back on and then empty the water out of it.....it is actually easier than it sounds!! Although when doing it 18m deep...i paniked a bit agan coz for some stupid reasn i breathed in through my nose indtead of out and started choking!!!....i had to get the instuctor to take me to the surface again!!! But in the end i got over my fear and it was amazing....probablyone of the best things i've done.....saw loads of nemo fish which are sooo cute....we also went to a dive site called sting ray alley....i'm sure you can guess why....there so big it's surreal!!!
We were supposed to leave the is;and on friday but joel and paul decided they wanted to do there advanced diving which i was happy about coz i wasn;t ready to leave....and it gave me time to top up my tan and get some time to myself.....spending every single day with the same people can be quite tiring....but there wasn't one arguement which i was quite surprisd about....(there nearly was one last night coz they made me sleep on the floor!!!)
I'm off to Kuala Lumpa tomorrow via the jungle.....gona do some trekking and go accross this bridge thing which is supposed to be quite scary!!...Pauls gone back to bangkok today to fly to Aus.....so it's back to just me and joel....although today we had some weird looking german with us...thin w're gonna try and loose him in the Jungle!!!
Love you all
