So our blogs seems to have stopped whilst we started to make ourselves comfortable in Auckland New Zealand. We had trouble with our flights from Sydney to Auckland too. The bimbo who booked our flights issued us with a paper ticket not an electronic one and so the company we were flying with would not let us board the plane. We had had enough at this point and so decided to not waste more time and money going back to Sydney city and bought tickets at the airport for the next available flight. Once we arrived in Auckland we hoped on [View Full Entry]

Being stuck at check in. Ok that was a little bit stressful!! “Sorry you cannot board this flight as you have no ongoing flight to New Zealand and no Visa to enter Australia.” Bollox! My immediate reaction was to shout abusive words at whoever answered the phone at STA. However Matt was a lot calmer and sensible about it all. We had to wait for STA to open in the UK paid for a phone card and left Matt in charge of all communications. Basically our flight had been canceled before we left the UK. We were sent an email from [View Full Entry]

Ok so Matt and I got a little blog happy and skipped a chapter! Ops. We have forgotten to write about Phuket. Probably because there isn’t too much to write about. Just so you know we traveled: Phi Phi -> Phuket -> Singapore So here it goes… After arriving back from our god damn awful and scary boat trip to May ya bay where we were bashed against rocks and nearly drowned! we had two hours to get back to the hostel to get our bags and leave Phi Phi on the biggest boat we had set sail on to Phuket.

After being fined at Phuket airport for staying two days over our visa limit we jumped on the plane and landed in Singapore. The airport was one of the best I’ve been to - there was no cueing or waiting around. We found our bags quickly, went through customs and found an information centre. The info centre in Singapore airport was top notch. A member of staff showed us a few hostels on the internet and called to see if they had any vacancies, advised us on how to get around and places to visit. I know this may seem like [View Full Entry]

Lazy day!
We left Raily in search for Phi Phi. As soon as we hoped onto our long tail boat it rained. And I mean rained, hard! Matt and I jumped off the boat in search of shelter as there was no cover on the boat. We were then asked to join the boat where we were taken in the rain to a larger boat with a roof! We were wet thought and sat on another choppy boat, this time to Phi Phi taking us only a few hours. Luckily enough it was fairly warm when we arrived in Phi Phi so dried [View Full Entry]

Okay so Matt has written a few entries and now it’s my turn! Sorry for the time it has taken to write these entries we have been traveling nonstop and as some of you may have heard we have had some issues with our travel company. Don’t get me wrong Ko Tao was a beautiful island however I couldn’t wait to leave! After being told I was unable to dive I was sick of seeing people in wet suits talking about their great time and what they had seen. We left early morning on a rather choppy catamaran and arrived at [View Full Entry]

We both decided there wasn’t much more to explore in Aonang and so headed for a beach called Raily. The guide book recommended Raily for its stunning sunset and its rock climbing. The water was too choppy so get into a long tail boat on the beach so those of us waiting jumped into a van and headed for what they called a ‘port’. This was most defiantly NOT a port it was a walk way of concrete that then went into rocks that you had to clamber across to bored the boat! Image that with a backpack on your back [View Full Entry]

Our house.
Ko Tao didn’t really turn out the way we had planned. When we got there Liv was told that she couldn’t dive because of her back operation. To make it worse she had already been in the class room for 2 hours. This was really frustrating because when we booked the diving in Ko Phangan, we spoke to the boss (that we found out later was the boss of the tour operator not the dive centre) who told us that the only reason why they asked about back problems was because you had to lift the equipment. What a load of [View Full Entry]

We decided to stay in Hat Rin, which is where the full moon party started. We thought about staying in Paradise Bungalows, the home of the full moon party but the lonely planet didn’t give it the best review so gave it a miss. In hindsight I would have liked to stay there and will when I return to the Island. Ko Phangan was fantastic, it was a lot more relaxed than Ko Samui, it had a better vibe and it was much cheaper. Sunrise beach was just as nice as Chaweng and the sea just as warm .We didn’t do [View Full Entry]

After 26 hours, 3 buses, 2 taxi’s, a mini bus, tuk tuk and ferry we final arrived at a beach. I won’t bore you with the details of all the traveling but I would like to share one part of our journey - Our bus to Surat Thani was an hour and a half late. As we jumped off the bus a tuk tuk driver explained we had to rush to get the last ferry of the day to Ko Samui, so we jumped in the tuk tuk with a Thai guy. The driver speed off like a mad man constantly [View Full Entry]
