Ferry Port is Open!
Not really the ferry port, but a lovely piccy? Yesterday was time to book to leave Ayawotsitcalled - the stingy bugga's overcharged us double so we were pretty glad to leave!
We had a plan - with a problem, our train left ayawotsit at 5:00am, did we have a watch/clock? No, did we hell... but we didnt let that stop us! Up at 4:30, tuk-tuk to train station - yakkityyakiityyakkity all the way, sat in 3rd class again (nothing but the best for us Tykes!) and arrived at Bangkok at 7:30am -
used their fantastic trainstation bogs; not only did you have to squat, twist round and then peform a water dance you had to race for the opportunity too!! queues? They don't do queues!!
Thank Gawd I only wanted a pee! Hate to think of the rigmarole for a No2!
Bus to the ferry port - Dad - I thought your driving was slow, this beats you hands down, took almost 3 hours longer for a 6 hour journey, miserable bugga he was too! But we got the front upstairs seats so cant complain.
Rightio - so now we're at the ferry port to go to Ko Chang - - PORT??? Ok, slab of concrete
And so to bed.... mmmm
The bed that Muvvaius and Fartius Samius had to share, along with a few ghekos and mossies! (little gits!!) a wooden shack and this boat type thing with cars and people on! They don't put a barrier up when the boat is going, they just set off - even though a man and a van driver were desperately racing to get on before the gap was too big - both managed, huge sigh of relief went round the boat - apart that is from the ferry operators! they didn't really give a shit!
We got a bungalow on the beach front! Every bit of paradise has it's trade offs though - I have to share a double bed with Samius Taylorius! Argh, Farter-Fantastique - HELP!!!!
SEeing as teh see was so close we decided to go swimming - problem No1 - no cossie, so me's and he's went 20 yards away to the local market type thingyboby. All the cossies were for like age 9!! The Thais are so bloody small that their large is a size 8 - honest, no kidding. So, I bites my tongue, points to me fat belly and lardy arse and said in my best yorshire " 'ant yer gorrany biggerwons?" the fella, bemused rummaged through a bin liner of cossies and
Paradise Island
The view looking from the sea towards the beach-side bungalow we were staying in. At high tide the steps to the bungalow were around 12 feet away from the sea. finally dug one out. Black, ah yes, that should be great, make me appear less arsey...

Went swimmnig though, first time for 11 years; the RSD was horrendous with it but the rest of me enjoyed it so much I thought "sod it" and stayed in the sea about 30 minutes! Am going a tad blistery, but hey... it'll get better (... wont it?)
We have adopted a cat too - not sure why but he is followign us all over!
Still no pics to upload you lucky bugga's!

Thank you folks, that's all for now, off to down a bottle of vodka outside the bunaglow on the beachfront!
