Well, you'd never guess what happened..... I came to this internet cafe tonight to cut & paste my blog, and keep Koh Lanta's blog separate from Phi Phi. I copied all my info that I paid 90 bt for yesterday (and some of you may have read it) into a word document, made a new blog (just to be highly organised) and the ------ computer shut down and I lost all information on Koh Lanta....so I'm a little on the "mad side"!!!!! Will try & back track to what has happened so far..... Got off the boat and was hounded and mugged by touts at the pier. We jumped in the back of a ute which took us to a guesthouse called Palm Beach Bungalows that we didn't stay at. Searched high and low and ... read more

Hi All, Just thought I would do a quick blog and keep you posted. We did the treacherous jungle climb from our Relax Bay Bungalows over to the view top to view Phi Phi Island and made it safely to Tonsai Bay to pick up a few supplies. The view from the top was just beautiful, but does make you realise that when the Tsunami hit, these people just had no chance. It was a choice of a 30 minute boat ride at 400 bt $16.00 one way or walk - so I guess you all know the option we took! Kids moaned & groaned a little, but it was worth it for the views not to mention the lather of sweat! Bribed the kids to walk back on the return which included some 340 ... read more

Hi All, I have a few minutes spare as I have just caught the longtail boat over to the Ton Sai Harbour in Phi Phi to get some essential supplies, like water and food!!!. Our plane trip over was fine, although the kids ended up wrecked and got to bed at 3.30 am Aussie time. We got a few hours shut eye and then prepared ourselves to be up bright & early for the ferry from Phuket to Phi Phi. We thought we were on schedule, only to find that we'd set our clocks for the wrong time and so were ready at 5.45 am instead of 6.45 am!! So, in the dark, we wandered the streets of Phuket Town in search of somewhere opened where we could get some breaky and a few supplies for ... read more

We'll the last few hours were a little busy, but I have to admit, I've had a slight accident! We'd picked the car up and I headed to a hairdresser to get the quick trim of the hair etc. Scott, not having too much hair, uses the clippers & he'd asked me to check over the back of his self made haircut. Which, at the time only needed a little trimming around the nape of the neck. In my haste, I trimmed all the nape, but then thought I would just "fix up" his cutting of the back of his head and neaten it up in case there were any ridges, - you know like when you mow a lawn and sometimes leave a little a bit longer on the edges etc?? Well, I completely forgot ... read more

Well laptops and leg injuries can lead to internet adventures in themselves! Didn't know that such things as "Travel Blogs" even existed - I must have lived a sheltered life maybe.... Anyway, it's inspired me to keep a blog of our Thailand Adventure. Hopefully, we'll keep you posted of all the ups & downs & in's & outs & scam's & rip-off's we've been involved in along the way - which goes without saying really!! Anyway "Travellin Willies" will be heading to Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, & koh Jum Islands for plenty of R&R and fighting over whose turn it is in the hammock, tasty tidbits to sample (or we think so), and then onto Krabi town for a night before heading by cattle class plane and 2nd class train up North to Chiang Mai.
