Hey everyone! Since I last wrote we have left my favourite part of thailand so far (Railay-Krabi) and headed to the islands again- this time Koh Lanta. This was a slight diversion from the original plans as we didn't even know it existed before a couple of days ago! However on other people's recommendations we decided to go exploring. And go exploring we did- The first day we just walked along the beach outside our bungalow and explored the local town. Les...

Hey there! Yesterday we took an early ferry out of Phi Phi (and away from the monsoon rains!) to the mainland of Krabi about 2 hours away. We decided to stay in the quieter area of Krabi known as Railay which is- to be honest- bloody amazing :-) Our Hotel is up about 50 steps (which feels like a 1000 after doing no exercise for about 2 weeks!) but the view from our swimming pool makes it completely worth it. The beach in the picture is even more beautiful than i...

Hey! Greeting from the beautiful Phi Phi islands! Since I last wrote I have survived (just) a 16 hour treak to the south of Thailand to the seedy but very funny area of Phuket.

After updating this yesterday I went to the pool on the rooftop of the hotel and did some much needed sunbathing. However I was rudely woken up by a familiar face :-) Guess it doesn't take a genius to work out who it was! Walked around Bangkok and then went for dinner and drinks and it turned into less of a dinner (the food was soooo spicy-Lara get in training now :-) ) and more of the drinking.... Had a quality- all be it very drunken- night and even experience...

Greetings from Thailand!! Ok....slight change of plan. I had to make the executive decision whether or not I should leave Sri Lanka early. Despite the country being very beautiful and there being at least one place I wanted to visit before I left I made a promise with most of you that I would be very careful on my lonesome and always made sure I was safe. Unfortunately for many reasons (I won't bore you with them now) at the moment Sri Lanka isn't a safe country...
