Wahoo, i finished and qualified today for my PADI Open water course. Not so keen on the exam part of the course...but its finished now so we are off to party and have fun :) The diving was really good and i learnt much more skills, my buoyancy and other skills are becoming much easier with practice. We spotted loads more fish and 4 turtles yesterday. Just deciding now whether to do my advanced course which you can do on the liveaboard boat for 2nights and 2 days. sounds like a lot of fun so i am considering it. First i [View Full Entry]

Well today has been very productive...i woke up, booked my boat ticket to Phi Phi so i head there tomorrow at 1pm. I then went to Central Festival (big shopping mall where i am told there are travel agents)...well there is 1...and i booked my flights to Singapore so on the 28th November i fly to Singapore... Myself and Shaun sipped coffee and ate at sizzlers- free fruit and salad bar...yes i did eat a bit of salad- well attempted to...god forbid, just maybe i will consider, i decided lettuce wasn't that bad...not a nice taste still lol but the fruit [View Full Entry]

A YELLOW JEEP!!! Minor excitement when they turned up... Back on to my day...well what a glorious day on the island of Phuket, woke up to sunshine (admittedly had a lovely lie in) and then heard from Fabien who told me he had a jeep and was coming to pick us up, well i hadn't seen Jimmy all morning so i went to his dorm room (he is in a fan room where as i am in the air con dorm) and woke him up to say they were on their way. I got my new Bikini on, then went armed [View Full Entry]

Well after a day of bus journeys...i am not sure why such journeys here are turned into whole day events but alas it was relatively simple and we made it here safely. Left Samui at 12.20 this afternoon and arrived here about 11pm, the boat ride was smooth and i just read the hours away till it was time to get back on the bus...all the way (not very far) to Surat Thani, here we seperated from the people going to Krabi and Bangkok. The 5 of us going to Phuket got back on the bus (the 2nd bus of the [View Full Entry]

Wow, what a wicked night! I do love dancing and generally just having fun. Really fun night, started off with Fabien, Jimmy and I going for a meal and then attempting to book tickets for the boat...we managed to get on the last boat at 12...we got there just as the party was starting (well in my opinion), for some people it was time for a night seista or to just pass out. Buckets were being sold everywhere but i mainly stuck to beer (i did want to survive the night and those buckets are strong!). Before we got on the [View Full Entry]

Why is it which ever city i go to i seem to end up in the Irish Bar...once again good live music last night at the bar and we then ventured onto a bar on the beach- novel idea i know. Met a french guy in the morning called Fabien while i was enjoying my breakfast (muesli with fruit and milk- i seem to have a rather strange liking for breakfast at the moment)...yes my breakfast on Samui does seem to be after 12...but before some virtual fighting goes on after me going on about the weather i suppose i also [View Full Entry]

We have finally made it to Ko Samui and as the forecast says...its absolutely peeing it down. It is raining very heavily and there are some mini floods on the roads too, still looking forward to the party though- il just get my bright coat out...just to make sure nobody can lose me ;). We had a bit of an adventure on the bus journey...first we watch 2 films then the lights are off and its obviously time to sleep so i get my ipod out (cure for all bus journeys) and doze away to be awaked at 6.30 by a [View Full Entry]

Today we travelled from Siam Reap to Bangkok...the first bus to Poipet wasn't airconditioned but we had plenty of space and windows were open...not too bad. Myself and Jimmy watched some of the simpsons and The Peep show on his ipod- laughing out loud with no one knowing why lol. All normal stuff...The journey was very bumpy but not too bad really in comparison to some roads i have been on just we were all coated in a dust (what i call the Cambodian Sun tan). Departing Cambodia and re-entering Thailand was all simple passport control...just a queue but nothing major. [View Full Entry]

Well having played Pool for the last 2 nights here in Siem Reap i can officially say my skill is getting no better...the occasional fluke but the occasional random shot which hits nothing lol... Another moment of funny locals that i forgot to add last time was back at the temples and this kid comes up to Mandy trying to sell her something (once again Mandy and Marie were surrounded and i was giggling to myself)...in the end he comes out and says i sell you for $1... later for Japanese i sell to them for $3...we all cracked ourselves laughing...probably [View Full Entry]
