In Trang!

Hey everyone,

we've left Phi Phi now and are in the relaxed town of Trang, where it's nice to be 2 of only a few tourists here and everyone is really smiley and welcoming. We've decided to head to Ko Tarutao on the 1st of November, when the National Park opens, so we're heading to Pak Meng or Pak Bara (not sure which i can't remember) on the 31st and then going to the border to extend our visas before getting the ferry on the 1st. We won't have any internet access there though....there's only 1 shop on the whole island and we'll be camping for our stay, of about a week or so, so you all might not hear from us after this blog until the 10th or so, when we'll hopefully be in Kuala Lumpar, if all goes to plan!

Hope you all like the photos!

Hey everyone, we're on Ko Phi Phi on the Thailand's west (andaman) coast. The book raves about how beautiful it is here and it is lovely, especially the crystal clear water and some amazing snorkelling. The beachs arent a touch on some of Cornwall's finest though!
We met up again with our Irish friends here and had an awesome time with them and me and Emirly went kayaking to Monkey Beach and went snorkelling on the reef, which was absolutely amazing. There were so many amazing fish and the coral was great too. We're tempted by scuba diving but 200 pounds is a bit beyond our budget sadly!!!!
We bought plane tickets to indonesia the other day too for just 50 pounds eachf rom kuala lumpar to bali so on the 12th we'll be flying to baliwhich is meant to be awesome and if we dont need any malaria tablets we are going to head off into nusan tengara, an area of indonesia just east of bali.
ANyway, we're having an awesome time here, despite the crappy weather at the moment, which makes us miss home a lot more although we expect the weather there is rubbish too!
Hope you all enjoy our pictures!

New Photos finally!

Tornado!

Monkey!

Hey everyone, as promised we are finally putting up some photos and doing a proper new post. As mentioned we are on Koh Pha Ngan at the moment, which is on Thailand's Gulf coast and it is such a beautifl island, much nicer than Cat Ba and luckily for us the weather here is fantastic, we ar both getting so tanned now it's ridiculous! We were really lucky to meet back up with the Irish girls, Rosheen, Gemma and Claire, that we met up with in Vang Vieng to go tubing (you can see them in the photos) so we have spent the last couple of days with them and we stayed at their bungalow on the night of the Full Moon Party, well i satyed as Emily and Claire actually stayed up until 9 the next morning and went to the after party! Nutters! The rest of us came back around 5.30/6 after falling asleep on the beach! It was such a laugh, we bought a couple of cheap bottles of whiskey/vodka and a few beach buckets and ice and made our own buckets and while we got ready i painted the rolling stones lips and shamrocks onto everyone. We always seem to have such a laugh with the Irish girls, they've become somewhat of a second family for us while we've been travelling and hopefully we're going to see them n Ko Phi Phi (our next stop) and then in a few months time in Australia!

The beaches on this island are out of this world, the sand is perfecty white and the sea is so clear, sadly for me i can't go snorkelling at the moment because i have an ear infection but the hospital here seemed really professional and it's clearing up now! We are staying in a really cool bungalow too right on the beach between Haat Yao and Haat Salad! Anyway, i think thats enough said for now. Hope everyone in England (and Australia!) is enjying themsleves!!! Will post again on Koh Phi Phi!!!

hello everyone, just letting you all know that we are fine. we are on Koh Pha Ngan ands will post a proper blog in 2 days time, or maybe tomorrow but where we are currently the internet is simply too expensive and the photos will take too long to upload. so we will do it very very soon! Full Moon Party tonight!!!!!
speak soon!!!!!

Heading to the full moon party!

Hey everyone,
just letting you know that we have changed our plans due to the timing of the full moon party (15th of this month) so we're currently in Bangkok and due to head to Koh Pha Ngan at 6pm today, where we will probably stay for around a week or so before exloring the surrounding islands.
Laos was absolutely awesome, shame we had to leave earlier but we stayed extra in Vang Vieng, which was amazing and met some really cool German people and some hilarious Irish girls!
Anyway, better be off to get the bus. will post again on Koh Pha Ngan!

So much fun in Laos.

We're in Vang Vieng in Laos at the moment, luckily we were able to get the bus the following day, although it wasnt the most pleasant experience sitting in a bus for 22 hours with a load of unfriendly Vietnamese people! Laos is awesome though. we stayed with some cool german people we met on the bus and came up to Vang Vieng with them, after just one night in vientiene. Our accomodation here costs us just 80p a day each, and despite a few cockroaches under the bed the place is spotless and has a brand new shower and fan and an ensuite toilet!
we've spent a couple of days tubing down the nam song river, which basically involves sitting in the tube for about 20 metres until you reach the next bar! the bars have some amazing swings into the river too, including a 15metre high one that scares the crap out of you, although after a few lao lao (whisky) it all seems much safer! Photos of our Laos experience will be put up here very soon we expect! We're heading off on the bus to Luang Prabang tomorrow too which should be good, is meant to be a beautiful city.Anyway, shall post again soon hopefully!
