4 becomes 3

Gump is no longer with us. We went divin about a week ago and he thought it would be funny to wind up a 3m grey reef shark. Not really- would have been a good travel story to tell down the copperhouse though.
He has decided to stay in Ko Tao because he's managed to spend over 3000 pounds over the past 5 weeks. Anyone who knows Gump back home probably isn't surprised by this. Hes going to do his padi dive master training over the next 2 months and then go back to England.
We've not had much to write about recently. We returned to Koh Tao after the full moon party with paddi. We spent about a week there and me and Ryan did our enriched air dive course. It means that we can go down for longer at greater depths so it well worth doing. Matt also did his advanced dive course.
We left Koh Tao and Gump yesterday morning -gump got a bit emotional (as-if) and we got to Khao Sok national park last night. It wasn't untill this mornin that we realised how good the park looked. We think we are going to do a 2 day trip and stay on these river huts tomorrow.

We are hoping to plan a trip out at xmas time and catch up with you sumwhere.... any ideas of where you'll be? Bev xx
