Swimming and flying!

---

Hello again. Well im on the island of Ko Tao and it is good! Managed to get through the Bangkok riot undamaged, although all i met were flag waving farmers and friendly riot police! Successfully passed my Open Water Scuba Diving course and am looking forward to using it in Oz in a few months. Scuba diving is amazing but it was made extra special by Fred our French Scuba Instructor who was possibly the most beautiful man ive ever met, sigh......

Somehow i was also persuaded to try Trapese flying by Cain a dreadlocked New Zealand trapeze artist?!! It was terrifying and not something i want to repeat, i can only lift my arms shoulder height today. I dont think i was built to fly through the air with the greatest of ease but i gave it a good shot.

Apart from that ive mostly been hanging around with fellow beach bums, working on my tan and drinking a few chang in the Lotus Bar.

Oh i did take my scooter off roading up to Mango Bay view point which is apparently not a wise thing to do after mud slides and storms but hey ho, im still alive! Some of the lady boy show photos are a bit eye boggling so those with a weak disposition look way now!

Next stop Vietnam.................

you are for scooba?
Oh my lord, those pictures are a bit worrying! Sounds like you are having an amazing time still, you made me and Rachel laugh because I got your mail as we were driving home from kiongswood in the rain after REP training, we were dicsussing having poached eggs and tomato soup for lunch which was going to be the highlight of our day whereas you are sscuba diving with a french hunk and boozing on the beach! it's not fair. Vietnam should be fun, I can't believe you are riding a scooter - biker chick haha Take care Stu

Hiya
Glad you enjoyed Koh Tao - absolutely loved it myself (stayed at Coral View over looking Shark Island and then we went up to Sairee Beach - all totally lush). Well done on the open water! Hope you're still enjoying the Chang, next stop beer 33 (sadly not so good). Enjoy Vietnam - have a drink on the roof terrace of the Rex (and watch the mopeds go by). Enjoy trying to cross the roads in Saigon - good luck if you hire a moped and make sure you eat lots of spring rolls (they'rd the best). News from the UK - I've had my first driving lesson - still in one piece so not all bad. Not much else going on, although we've started counting down to China (5 1/2 weeks to go)! Kev and I are baby sitting Sam on Sunday so will be learning to change a nappy (but the cuddles are worth it). Take care and I look forward to the next blog Lots of love Col xxxx
