Well i suppose it is time to write my last blog (a month late- nothings changed)...can't say it will be the last ever blog- i may bore you again with the adventures of my life. My first week back was exciting to say the least, arrived back on Thursday night where my dad came to pick me up (on time) and we travelled back to sunny Leicestershire. The next morning i went to see the ponies, Dom firmly let me know that i had abandoned her for 3 months (in the hands of a very lovely friend) and decided she didn't want to speak to me- well that was until i went to see Mia then obviously Dom wanted all the attention (Nothing had changed- got to love the pony). By Sunday evening Dom was raiding ... read more

After taking an hour to book the ticket at the airport- there was a very slow moving small queue, i managed to book a ticket to Bangkok. Had a great time last wednesday night out- was very busy- reminded me of freshers week...opposite time of year here though, they have all just broken up now and had there last exams so were out celebrating. Fun times! Recognised quite a lot of the music and then had moments when i thought i really should know the song but just didn't have a clue what it was lol. My thoughts on Singapore is that i don't think its a fine city as much as people make it out to be...i think it just makes the threats more visible than in other countries, there were many things that were ... read more

Singapore has been treating me kindly with the weather (well apart from at the moment when its raining but i can't complain as i am inside)...We have been to visit China Town and Little India on our wanderings aroudn the city...i am amused by the tourism here as it reminds me of places that parents take there kids to and school visits when i was younger...really bizarre feeling but quite nice being back to reality and also lots of lovely food. Now just got a lovely decision of how to get back to Bangkok, i think i am going to try to head back to Phuket on thurs to sat then get the overnight bus up to Bangkok...hopefully :)...i will keep you all updated and i am sure the news will too :) Speak soon, i ... read more

I think that Phi Phi is in a world of its own, Thailand may be in a state of emergency- so the news said but well its everyday life here and if it wasn't for my dad ringing me yesterday i doubt i would have known about Bangkok...its similar to the economic crisis that is hitting the world...apart from Thailand- well this is unless the airports don't open then there will be a huge crisis. Back to life on Phi Phi, we walked again to Long Beach yesterday and had breakfast plus an iced coffee (i really am getting into this coffee business while travelling)...then sun bathed...well i sort of did, i made a turtle sun castle and 2 fish...not very impressive and i was put to shame completely when we were walking back along the ... read more

Yayy! We have enough people and i am off tonight to live on the boat...really excited, should be fun and challenging at the same time, 7 dives- i think one will be a night dive, one 30m and one navigational, think i will also choose a buoyancy dive as then i can go exploring through the caves...maybe the photography dive...dunno(the dives we cant do is drift diving, boat diving is pointless as all on a boat, the drysuit (wrong weather) and also altitude and ice diving or something like that- wrong locations lol!) and hopefully get to see some sharks- whale sharks, reef and black tip- whenever i don't go out they see sharks at the moment so i don't have high hopes and also some Mantarays (not sure on spelling)...fingers crossed. Dre and myself wandered ... read more
