looks absolutly fab looks like your having a good time babe cant wait for the next installment. xx
Wow! Looks great! Was a bit worried as there has been an earthquake in Java, which isn't too far from where you are so was hoping to hear from you soon... Glad you're ok. xxx
Hello mate,
Sorry i have not replied earlier, but been busy, im glad you are having a great time, wish i was there with you. Im still working hard at the prison keeping this country save from criminals.
Stay out there as long as you can, because it look fab over there
Take care

Ctreature Comforts Dear Pete, so glad to be getting the full experience from your interesting notes. Don't think this kind of travel experience would suit me in quite the way you are managing! I was sick going accross to Morrocco from Spain, that was only 40 mins, I would have been dead after 8 hours. I'm surprised you can remember so much detail, considering! Are you going to ride an elephant? Claire said that was something she wouldn't have missed for anything. Take care, love to James, A.Jane x
Thank-you Thank-you for the pics! Is it called Shark Bay for the obvious reason? - in which case add that to the DONT list! (swim there I mean) along with the 'don't drink the water' and 'don't ride scooters' (especially now I've seen the state of the roads...) Krabi looks very beautiful, and so do the flowers - bourgainvillea? I was surprised by the bungalow, it looks really neat and clean and comfortable. A bit like a Wendy House actually... Interesting about the coconut collecting monkey, (I bet he wishes he was in the zoo) I don't feel so bad about our lousy weather, seeing your photo of the stormy sky.. its been like that here for days now. You made me laugh about the night boat, and the dollops/ scallops/ meatballs. This blog will make a great travel article for when you get back - sell it to one of the Sunday papers or something - bit of money? Congratulations to you both on the advanced diving. Please take care, hug yourself and Jamie for me (he won't mind!) mum xxxxxx
Good to see you took the upgrade on the boat - luxury! And is that air con in the bungalow? Brilliant blogs Pete, look forward to each update and exploit. Now if I was a betting man, I reckon there will be a photo of you demonstrating all your boxing moves in the next competition? Stay safe and enjoy. Simon
Nice one Pete, sounds like you are having an excellent time. Chris and I fly to Thailand 29th Sept, maybe catch up with you before you head off to Oz. x
Almost Jealous Its really great knowing what your up to Pete. I just wish you would enter one of those boxing competitions to show‘em how to fight. Remember to do some wind milling in, and if you’ve got a set of car keys in your hand, make them count. The scenic pics are nice but I want to see some beautiful Thai birds all over you, then I would be really jealous as the hard life jibe about shorts and flip flop didn’t have an effect. Keep it up dude! Lee Barkshite!
hey pedro, the diving sounds amazing my friend, I can only imagine what it must be like, I kind of get an idea from the snorkeling I did in the carribean when I was working on the ship, however, only my face was under water then, not my whole body, swimming around at the bottom of the ocean as it is with you.
Your night boat sounds cozy, reckon you slept with one eye open that night, hey mate! ha ha
Things are good back here, you're right about the weather, the sun has been trying it's hardest to shine but those big british clouds keep winning the fight and blocking it out.
I'ts tuesday evening, I've just been for the weekly the swim, bet you didn't think I'd be keeping it up now that you've gone did ya?! I must admit that it's not as much fun on my own though dude, however, it is nicer not to have to worry about you farting in the water infront of me! Had my sunbed this afternoon too, gotta keep that tan topped up (god I'm a homo!).
What can I tell you about what been going on? The usual really mate, was out at the weekend with hippy and knowlsey in the hogs head and twisters, ended up getting blind drunk and taking a young lady back to my fuck-hut for a night of passion (you know who she is, don't wanna say on here though, I'll email you, pretty random though dude). Was out on the saturday with the usual suspects, nayland boys, el, duncan, rosie and emily. Rosie mentioned that she had spoken to you on the phone and passed on your message, and yes, I love and miss you too!
Got to do my presentation to Music Week on friday, i'm slightly bricking it as it's a job that I really want. I've got a second with Archant and a first with the Telegraph too, all on friday. My consultant phoned me this afternoon and said that Archant already want to offer me the position. I'm keeping my options open though, I wanna be in a position where I can pick and choose. Music Week is at Blackfriars, Archant is Kings Road (chelsea) and Telegraph is Canary Wharf.
It's a bank holiday weekend coming up, I'm hoping the sun's going to have his hat on so we can play in the park, it's also the wivenhoe may fair on the monday so might pop down there and laugh at the acid-taking-soap-dodgers!
I tell you what mate, you're soooo lucky to be all the way out there, Colchester is looking more chavvy than ever, because of the world cup, everyone has already started displaying the st george cross on their cars, houses, hats, t-shirts, bars, chests, arse, head, you name it its there!!
Anway, I'm hoing to sign of now buddy, should really do some work on my presentation.
Keep having fun and keep the blogs and the pics coming.
Much love to you old boy!!

This is awesome If only they had these internet blog things when I was travelling around the world drinking, smoking, snorting class-A narcotics, fighting and shagging the ladies. Then again, I'd probably have been censored!! That's OK, I'll just re-live it all through you!!! Love you loads - stay safe and somewhat sensible. From your punk rock uncle... U JAMES
Well done on doing your diving thing. Sounds amazing. That phosphorescence stuff sounds cool. In fact we had a party on Frinton beach once and there was loads of that washing up on the shore. Just lots of little, green, glows that disappear again within seconds. I thought I was just a bit wrecked...
You're never gonna get a rest from partying. But I wouldn't expect it from you two anyway!! Enjoy it whilst you've got the freedom and time to do it...
Did you take an underwater camera? If not, you should get one for next time. Take it easy, eL*xxxxxx
NOT FAIR!! I'm so jealous, what an amazing time you are having and you look great hun! Life here is raining and busy as usual...keep letting us know how your getting on! Take Care, luv Charlie x
Your Literary Column Very entertaining and you write well Peter. Lunch at the Angel with your mum today - too wet for garden visits. Northern Thailand very beautiful. More temples than buckets, but I'm sure you'll find both where ever you go!!
Keep having fun
thats my boy hello my darling boy, gosh, sounds like you are having a super fun time, one is incredibly jealous of your exploits.
Tan's coming along nicely innit mate!, you'll soon be as brown as my spray-tanned frame! Good to hear that you've managed to keep up the kick-boxing dude, be careful with those thai dudes though man, I've seen them fight, they're like whippets!!
You missed a cool party round my gaff last weekend, had a few of the AOH crowd round my place for a night of Tequila after the Silk Road, we all got drunk and shed our clothes and partied in our undercrackers! We were a little bit too noisy though and the other flats called the police, we got told to get dressed and turn down the music. Barrrr humbug!!
have been in London the past few days tring to seek my fortune, it's been going quite well, I've got to go back to a few places and present to them.
I'll send you an email when I've got 5 mins and fill you in properly.
Love you dude and missing our drunken antics, keep representing out there pedro.
peace and love x
Good to hear your having a great time out there, stay away from too many of those crazy cocktail jugs, or your end up in the ground. i remember ali contemplating getting in the ring with a thai after a couple. The photos are funny and your looking fighting fit despite your self destruction, but shit, thats what its all about on full moon island. your last e_mail got me in the mood for a trip myself so i booked a couple of weeks in Morrocco, started in Marrakesh and worked my way down to Zagora; hot as hell, the gate way to the Sahara. The people are really friendly, bar the odd few, as anywhere; and theres no drinking, which makes a change. Lots of drinking mint tea, playing cards, and smoking the best natural hashish in the world. Does me fine. I can;t remember if you said you were' going up north to Chang Mai etc, but i highly recommend it. Everythings even cheaper and theres alot to do, jungle treks, staying with tribes, trips on the mopeds etc. It was personally my favourite part, not so many cliche travellers but more than enough to have a good crac with. Anyway this typing on arab letters with tiny english ones in the corner is doing my nut in. Keep me informed bud. And remember the secret; Keep moving cos theres alot to see and alot of people to meet. Peace. Spencer.
Time to move on So good to hear from you. All sounds great fun. Bizarre that there's so many people from your own stamping ground out there! but nice to see you've got friendly with lots of locals too. I definitely think its time to move on though, as you said - if only for your liver's sake... Enjoy the diving (by the way your PADI'card' has arrived at home)All the photos are great - but lets have some SCENERY next!!!(although its nice to see the people you're with too...) Don't know what all these buckets are about - is it something to do with lack of plumbing when you're drinking all that beer. Keep e-mailing I love you, your mummyxxxxxx
Wow. Sounds great. I'm jealous about all the differet moon parties - just up my street as you could probably imagine!!! Gareth had a naked party the other day. I didn't go, but I think the police were involved! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been keeping up with kickboxing - rory reckons I'm ready to fight. Not too sure though... you'll have to teach me all the new stuff when you get back. you're both looking well assuming what you've been up to!! Love the photos!!! take it easy, love eL* xxxxxx
To My Darling Pedro!!!!!!!!! Sounds like you are having an awesome time over there, but you need to have a bloody wash you have gone a horrible dirty colour!!!! :-)
Hope you haven't experienced any ting tongs yet!!!
We are all missing you in Nayland, and hearing your dulcet tones!!!
Look forward to the next installment!!!!!! xx
party animal dude, sounds like your havin an amazin time! just dont get in a fight with a thai maniac, i hear there worse than the punch bag! he he every1 at aoh says hi and we all miss ya lots x x x
I worry about you... Great to hear from you! For gods sake get some antiseptic on that foot! You both look very happy, and tanned - doesn't look like sunburn now...I'm confused about full-moon and black-moon parties... but I suppose its not that important what they're called, is it? Weather here is on the up, but no comparison to your sunlight hours, just wondering... who applied the antiseptic cream to orlaith's chest??? Have fun, take care, love to James, always thinking of you, mummxxxxx
you're one crazy fcugker Pete, glad you're having a great time and hey whats the bet your beard is gonna be down to your chest by the time you write to us again.
ooooo two words to say before i go.
Do It :P
Well it all sounds horrible. Only one bit of advice - Don't hire fucking mopeds - easiest thing in the world to have an accident on and it could ruin your trip. Otherwise, sounds like you're getting it about right.xxx
E-mail &photos T4 departure Hi Pete, hope your liver is standing the pace and you`re bracing yourself for the Koh Pang Yang partying. You should by now have received the pics I took at H`row.Diana sends her love.
