Jealous! OH MY GOD!!! We are so jealous it looks like you are having a fantastic time. The beach looks lovely and we can just imagine you falling all over the place in the hammuck. lol! Well you'll be pleased to know the weather here is rubbish- really quite depressing certainly not warm with blazing sunshine! Martin you look very comfortable on your little bike and the helmet is definately a fashion accessory to bring home! this blog is class its really cool to be able to see where you are and what you're doing. Going to watch the first Vibes gig tomorrow without you guys - going to feel very weird. Take care lots of love Natalie and Chris xx xx xx
Super Nice!!!! Happy Days!!! That beach looks stunning! I am super jealous. Loving the swing out over the Sea and loving the hammock! Ko Samoui looks ledge, paradise. I look forward to your next update from Ko Pang yang ( I dont know how to spell that!!!)
I started Uni the other day. Alot to learn. Im the youngest in the gropu. Theres 25 of us ranging from non-working students to the HR director of Mercedes South West!!!! Im making friends with her!!!!! There maybe a CLK or something in it for me!!!! ha ha ha! only joking. Exciting times!!! it has been weird going back to uni, and not being involved in Freshers Week!
Have just arranged the Annual Howes Birthday Meal. This years festivities are to be held at the Grecian Taverna!!! fun.
Anyway, enough about me. Your photos look ledge and you look to be having a great time. I cant believe the prices are so cheap for accommodation, food, moped etc. Absolutely brilliant. Keep the updates coming and keep on enjoying yourselves. Keep safe and enjoy paradise. Love you. Howesey x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
How funny!!! Thanks guys for your update, it was class and made me laugh loads! I can just imagine you pair trying to fit onto ONE hammock, I think I would have been in stiches too. It looks absolutely gorgoeus, you have certainly sold that island to me. The bike looks class, I bet you loved that, a little different to a GTI though. You both look so happy, relaxed and like you are having one big adventure. I am glad the tri pod came in useful, you must be organised to have that with you in your ruck sack. Keep safe and stay away from jelly fish!!!! Love you loads. Laura and Ericxxxx
How lov'd up r u 2!!! Glad to hear and see that you are having a fab time, laughing and enjoying it all. The sights look amazing and you are getting quite good at photography - especially the butterfly shot! Enjoy Ko-Pan-ngen and some more beautiful beaches. The weather here has turned wintery already it's very fresh in the mornings and today is drizzly rain - bet that will make you smile. Love you both take care Helen xxx

Hello - wish I was there!! Hello my little travellers,
This is my third attempt at sending you both an e-mail, I beleive my previous two are in your private section! Anyway lovely to see and hear all you've done so far, and so much more to come! You sound as though you've really got into the swing of it already, and are obviously enjoying the experience. It was lovely to hear you ate at the Jolly Frog! so glad it's still going strong and funny to think you might have sat at the same table as me six years ago. Your photo's and e-mails have brought back very fond memories for me.
So off to Ko Samui and not Chang Mai, sensible I think, at least your heading in the right direction and will not have to double back, saves time and times precious as Im sure you'll find out. The year will be over before you know it!! Anyway have a lovely time in Ko Samui, I'm sure you will. Take care, lots of love Auntie Sharon xxxx

Hello Hi you two. Glad you have arrived safely and having a fantastic time. Howesy keeping us to date with the blog - enjoy yourselves - looking forward to the next update with pics!xxx
Sunday 16th september Happy Sunday to you both. The waterfalls look beautiful, proper postcard stuff!!! I see the Sun is already blessing you both with the beginnings of the YEAR LONG TAN!!! Im not envious, honestly.
The monkey wee'd on your flip flops!!! ha ha!! brilliant. are you sure you are in Thailand and not at Paignton Zoo!!!!! ha!! Your loving the animals. The elephants look great too. The raft you are on looks a little flimsy. Looks fun though.
In Plymouth today it has rained, I have been out for a meal with Kades and popped into town and purchased a christmas present!!!! early I know but I am super planned and organised. Im starting uni on Tuesday which will be strange but a great challenge for my stagnated brain! I'll let you know how it goes.
Anyway, off to the Gym now, the Sun has made an appearance so I may even venture into the outdoor pool, nice. Speak soon
love you both and take care x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x Keeping loving life x x x x x x x x x x

Martin Cocks and Sophie Penwill both from Plymouth, Devon, England. Martin 24 and Sophie 22.
We have both always wanted to go traveling and decided last Christmas to set of this Sept 2007. We have saved really hard and have sacrificed a lot this past year, but not working for the year to come and experiencing all that we will see and do is so worth it!!!
We are both very excited and hope you enjoy reading about our adventure and looking at the photos we take along the way.
We will miss you all very much
