Hi All

Just a quick update - still having a great time a few of us went to Haad Khom on Saturday it had a fantastic beach the sand was like flour and the sea was so clear. It was amazing - it had a swing over the beach we took turns on it and then we went snorkeling it was fab!! I spent a too much time in the water (I got a little carried away) and burnt my bum.One of my friends has burnt her eye lids they look very sore/tender. We also visited the only lake on the Island yesterday , it was pretty but a few to many insects so just a quick visit a few photo's then off to an Itailian for dinner.

My after school meeting have finally finished so I should be getting home in the evening much quicker - so time to sneak in a little bit of sun before the day ends. We are having an audit at the school this week that is the reason for all the after school activity.

A few of us are going to a 2 hour Yoga class tomorrow morning at 8am - we must be keen. Also we are going to try a Thai boxing class - a few of the others went and they said it was really interesting - personally I think they were admiring the view if you know what I mean.

I have made a list of all the things I want to do before I leave the Island - to make sure I cram in as much a possible at the weekends. I have been thinking about scuba diving so we are looking into it. I am going to visit Danny's sister Sarah - she has just finished her bike ride in Vietnam and she arrived in Koh Samui yesterday - so I think I am visiting her this Fri for the weekend. I will catch a ferry then get a taxi to her resort - she said her room is big so I can stay with her which is great. I am really looking forward to catching up with her and hearing about her trek. A couple of the other girls are thinking of coming with me to see the Island too - so that would be nice.

I think I haven't really mentioned the food much in my blog, which is a little remiss for those who know me well. I absolutely love it, I eat lots of fruit and fruit shakes, we have lots of rice and noodles with vegetables or chicken and in the main we follow it with a pancake with various topping but mainly chocolate and nutella. I have a jar of nutella in my room for late night scoops.

I am really enjoying reading all my messages and e-mails when I log on. Please keep them coming they are very much appreciated. Oh, I got an update on hollyoaks yesterday which is the main soap I follow - so that was good I hadn't even thought about it in my month here, which is how it should be.

Big love to everybody back home - Ali x x
