fortsettelse av dagens opplevelser.. Etter alt tullet med flyseskap som hadde byttet flyplass (november 2012) kom vi oss videre med Thai Air til Krabi. Her hadde vi bestilt rom på Islande Eco Resort. Hadde sjekket beliggenheten på kartet og vi hadde en viss formening om hvor dette var.,, trudde vi!! For være på den sikre side ringte vi hotellet og ba dem hente oss på flyplassen.. Vi kom oss av flyet, plukket opp bagasjen og fant sjåføren med Mr. Marit Schidger på et skilt. Vi satte oss inn i en deilg van, lente oss tilbake og skulle nyte kjøreturen på 40 minutter som var oppgitt det skulle ta frem til hotellet. Etter 10 minuter stopper bilen og sjåføren forteller oss at vi må bytte til en Longtail båt som ligger ved havna. Vi gjør som vi ... read more

Didnt end up doing any climbing yesterday, I have been feeling a bit sick for a few days and couldnt eat all day yesterday so felt too weak to try and climb.. ended up eating dinner but it made me even worse so I was up all night last night feeling really rough :( We ended up just spending the day at the beach yesterday and went round to another beach so that Sean could climb and we saw the prettiest sunset last night which was nice. Sean is going to climb with that guy Josh today and I was going to but feeling ill again today which is rubbish. I swear I have never taken so much medication in such a short space of time! At home I can go for months without having as ... read more

Well it seems I need to stop saying anything, first losing my camera and then running away from Sean getting sick.... since yesterday it has all turned around... After I wrote that blog I went back to the hostel and we went next door to get some breakfast. Sean was feeling empty and fragile so ordered some toast and I felt a bit dodgey so just ordered a fruit salad. I ate about 2 bits of watermelon and a bit of pineapple and started to feel really sick and Sean couldnt finish his toast so we walked back to our hostel to have a rest... I told Sean I felt really sick and he was like nooo... your fine, your just feeling paranoid because I got sick so you think you do now... About half an ... read more

Well we decided we would only stay in Tonsai Bay the one night as although it was beautiful and a climbers paradise, the tours were all quite expensive and there wasnt anything to do there other than climb or sunbathe.. which I wouldnt have minded but paying 10 pound each per night accomodation when your on a budget just to sunbathe isnt very wise haha. So yesterday morning we woke up and popped to the internet cafe to see if we could find any accomodation on the next beach along called Ao Nang. There are a lot more tours and you can find much cheaper accomodation but still have the lovely beach and mountain scenery everywhere so we decided this would be the best place to go. Couldnt really find much accomodation online so decided to ... read more

So yesterday was our last bit of time in Koh Phi Phi which was quite sad as it really was a stunning island. We went up to the viewpoint which we went to on our first day to take some pictures that we had lost. The walk up to the top is a NIGHTMARE though! There must be about a 1000 steps and the slope when you get to the top of the steps is sooo steep that you have to walk on tip toes haha. The view is so worth it though so we got some nice pictures there :) We then just relaxed on the beach until 3 as our ferrie to Railay was due at half 3. Managed to get a good spot on the deck of the boat so we could sunbathe ... read more

For those that don't know, I'm getting married in April :-) Michael and I are very excited for the big day and just as excited for the honeymoon trip. We love traveling. It seemed a shame to just go to another Caribbean Island when we have 2 full weeks of vacation time. So we decided to go to a place where we could backpack and go on some adventures, but also relax on a beach and enjoy the start of our life together. We feel we deserve it after stressing over all these wedding details for the last year. So we decided on Thailand :-) And we just can't go so close to Angkor Wat without seeing it, so we're throwing that into the mix too. Anyone have any suggestions on a great place to stay ... read more

All right well at the request of one of my friends here, I've decided to post up some entries from my journal here in Thailand. Enjoy! This is the first journal I've really kept up with and you'll just kind of have to bear through the first few entries since I wasn't really sure how to even write one. However a month in and over 100 pages now I think I'm figure this whole writing thing out.... read more

Mum - it's probably best if you skip the first paragraph.... We thought we'd done it the safest possible way - turns out we hadn't. We pre-booked a minibus to take us from Khao Sok to Krabi, through our guesthouse. After getting onto the minibus, the driver moved a gun from his passenger seat into his pocket. There were about 12 other people on the bus and with a bit of dangerous driving the minibus finally arrived in Krabi - or so we thought... Instead we were dropped at a minibus exchange centre with about 100 other tourists and told to sit down and wait for next bus. Upon asking what time - a group of men rudely replied sit and wait. Other people were getting frustrated, some saying they'd ... read more

Op zaterdag 8 december had ik samen met John een 4 eilanden tour geboekt. We werden rond 8 uur opgepikt aan het hostel en naar Ao nang beach gebracht waar we samen met een hoop andere mensen aan boord gingen van een grote longtailboat. Op die boot leerde ik ook de Française Laure kennen die in hetzelfde hostel verbleef. Het eerste eiland dat we bezochten was Poda Island. Dit kleine eiland was haast verlaten maar heel mooi. Misschien wel het mooiste eiland dat ik in Thailand gezien heb. We gingen aan land en verbleven er ongeveer een uur. Op het eiland waren we vrij om te zwemmen, te snorkellen of gewoon te relaxen in de zon. Na Poda eiland ging we naar het 'chicken island' dat zijn naam te danken heeft aan een rotsformatie die, vanuit ... read more
