Koh Samui's fast food chainKoh Samui's fast food chainKoh Samui's fast food chain

Walking alog the beach we found the 'No Name' food and drink shack. We are yet brave enough to try and actualy buy anything to eat or drink from it! However due to the storm I think the owner had managed to find some new carpet walls for her shack, Bonus!
After our last entry the weather has slowly improved. We have been told that we arrived just at the end of the worse rains they had in 20 years! 7 people died along the beach front due to collapsing buildings! Things are much better now and the weather is getting better day by day, Kim even got a lilttle burnt! She has also been bitten by lots of mozzies while ive hardly been bitten at all *smug*.

We have met some great people, tonight we are going to a nearbye beach town called Chaweng with a bunch of English and Irish people so im guessing we are going to have bad hangovers tomorrow! We also spoke to some funny characters one man we have nicknamed Guru Jim has given us some realy good books to read and advice on where to go in the countries we are going to be visiting. He is a kind of old hippy with a long white beard whos been traveling for about 40 years on and off, always saying the words "bitching" and "far out". We will try and get a photo up of him at some point as he looks so comical.

I miss my home cooked food! Can you fly me out some Yorkshire pudding mum?

We are also looking for a good deal on an elephant trek that will take us into the forrests in the middle of the island so that should be great fun!

On a personal note I have also not shaved once, im looking like a bit of a hobo, still unsure whether I can grow that beard ive always wanted!
