We got the Bargain Air Asia flight from KL to Phuket. we stayed at the 'Kata Villa' for one night for less than 5pounds! We originally planned to stay only 2-3 nights but ended up staying for 10. This was partly because we were getting a bit fed up of moving around so much and I got the flu. It was so cheap we thought it would be best to stick here for a bit and they had MUTV for Jason. There's not really much more else to write as we enjoyed doing sod all for a while. We did go and see the 'James Bond Island' which was used in 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. It was nice to see but so touristy its difficult to get a picture of the rock without getting ... read more

I am a little overdue in updating the travel blog, but the Internet was pretty slow and expensive on Koh Tao, and so I thought that I would wait till I got to the UK- staying with my cousins who have broadband at the moment, which is lovely change! I decided that I was going to stay on Koh Tao for a couple of extra days from the pictures I am sure that you have no idea why I wanted to stay there- plus I wanted to do an open water diving course and didn't have enough time if I stayed with the tour. Kieran and I were sharing a room that was up on the hill looking out over the sea, luckily there was a tree that shaded the hut because it was so, so ... read more

If the essence of idleness is doing nothing then i think that i'm doing the idleness thing rather well, I have honestly done bugger all. Nada, nothing, ziltch, slacked around like never before. Beach, pool, cocktails, beach, pool, cocktails etc etc etc....untill the end of time. Which is why i haven't updated this in a day or so....slack bugger! Well apart from yesterday, i went to James Bond Island. No shopping, no shopping. Believe me there is shopping on James Bond Island!, in fact it's like a strip mall, im sure that Ronald McDonald is looking to set up shop. Met up with a South African couple on their honeymoon, they were cool. In luuuuuuurve baby. There were these Japnese dudes there; ok Hawaiian shirts can be cool (you know - the floral design thing) and ... read more

Love. Yeah it's pretty cool. Saw some shining examples of it yesterday. Firstly, we had some eastern european's show up yesterday. I was in the pool recovering from acrobatics having a chat with some yanks when this studly dude showed up. He was the alpha male, tall, slim, great teeth, dude was working his booty. Thing was right; his wife (yes folks - wife) was at least 150 kgs heavier than him, at least. She was a whole hunk of woman. And i'm not being unkind here, but she didn't do much for the whole self improvement thing. They went swimming and kissed and cuddled for about an hour, it was kinda weird, this guy was a runway model and she stole the pies. But hey love is blind, and although it was kinda weird, it ... read more

Mum; do not read any further, you will not appreciate this much. Stop now! My head crackin life style caught up on me last night, about 10pm, at the pool... The rain was pouring down, it was still 30 degrees, everything i had was soaked. Pool Party! There were six of us before the Chinese group showed up. At the pool having a wee drink (oh man this has got to stop). Well soon enough (and half a bottle of southern comfort) we decided to go for a swim. There's me, Tony & Maxine (english couple - mid 40's), another couple from England and a Jamacian dude. And about fifteen million Chinese dudes. Party on maaaan! The Chinese team made a hasty retreat when they saw our party, which just confirmed to us that we were ... read more
