started the morning off very early..considering we were out last nite (fruit shakes turned to buckets..how does that happen???) we were picked up in a ute and bumped our way over the dirt roads for 30 mins until we came to the elephants!....4 massive elephants with seats on them....i let sheree get on first coz it seriously looked like we would slip right off!!...but turns out we survived and set off trekking up the steep mountains on our elephant Tim and it was very very very slowly!! got to the top and started our trek through the jungle to see the waterfall...haha it so funny the guide had warned us that there wasnt 'much' water this time of year..but seriously our shower had more water than this waterfall..so we cracked up laughing at it when we ... read more

After a quick flight I arrive in Phuket. Was there a couple of days although wasn't a great lover of it. I was stopping in Patong, I think it would be great if you were stopping in one of the posh resorts but otherwise it is over priced and very touristy (however heard some very good news hear so for that I LOVE it. So quickly left there and made my way to Ko Lanta, where I met up with Neil.

It only took us a few swings in the hammock to feel settled. Theres definately something about having a little place on the beach swinging in a hammock, listening to the sound of the sea. That night we went for a stroll on the beach, which was very ... read more

HI all, Dick and Mary arrived yesterday from Phuket and we had dinner with them at their bungalow restaurant. It was just a week ago we left Phuket and it seemed like a lot longer, life is so laid back here you forget what day it is the minute you step off the boat. D&M had been down to Trang to set up the scholarship for Fadila with a friend of Gary Vaughns. I won't spoil Dicks fun by telling you what he ate, I will just say that I am in awe of his gustutorial prowess. Mary had to deal with some typical banking bullshit, it seems that if you are not a corporation or a bigshot palm greaser, the laws make it tough to move money internationaly, she was able to make it work ... read more
