The main reason I haven't updated it sooner is because nothing much has happened since the last one. Other than having done another 100 dives.In the last six weeks I have probably spent 35 weeks on the boat and the rest on land. Once I was on the boat for 13 nights in a row diving on average five dives per day. Two in the morning two in the afternoon http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/South-West-Thailand/Phuket/blog-443545.html Whale sharks and Manta RaysIn the last couple of weeks I have mainly spent time on the boat. I left on Thursday the 13th and set foot on land again 10 days later. I'm now approaching my 100th diveDuring the 10 days on the boat I finished the National Geographic Specialty which focuses on becoming more broadly aware of the underwater world and having a greater understanding of the underwater ec http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/South-West-Thailand/Phuket/blog-430942.html After a few days of living without my backpack and buying emergency stuff and wearing whatever I had on me in every way possible my backpack finally arrived 5 days later with everything in it. So as promised in my last blog entry I won't write so much and add some pictures instead.Two and a half week into my trip to Thailand I have spent most of my time on the MV ScubaCat moored in Racha Yai is http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/South-West-Thailand/Phuket/blog-427545.html This'll be my first update on my travel blog since arriving in Phuket and I have decided to keep it short. Not because there isn't anything to write about but mainly because I can't add any pictures.I love travelling but I don't enjoy the actual air travel much especially when it involves long cheap flights long stopovers long legs and no legroom. So leaving Papamoa thanks for the ride Davi http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/South-West-Thailand/Phuket/blog-422642.html I booked the tickets yesterday and will be arriving in Phuket on 27 July 2009Nothing more to report right now just lots of things to sort out in the next couple of weeks http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/New-Zealand/North-Island/Rotorua/blog-414663.html Preparing for my trip to Thailand more to come soon.If you want to keep track of my trip and updates you can do so using Facebook or Hyves.Cheers http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/New-Zealand/North-Island/Rotorua/blog-413935.html
