Hi All Had a busy day today. We tromped off after a Hilton buffet brekkie -yum yum. Went to go elephant riding. Shane and Cal liked it, but i wasn't so sure. I was on a boy elephant with big tusks. I was a tad worried. After that Cal and Shane charged around on ATV's for about an hour through the jungle. They had a ball. Both came back very dirty but happy. By then we were all exhusted so we wallowed on the beach at Karon, watching the world go by again. Spe...

Well apologies all for the break in communication - I haven't read Janie's blog yet but I assume she told you why. I will try and cover things she may not have talked about. We are just so glad that Cal appears fine now. Well the drive from Hua Hin to Chumphon was pretty uneventful.

There is a beautiful lookout with the most amazing views that Shane has ...

Hi All Sorry we havent posted for a couple of days. Had a bit of a Drama. We were driving down from Chumphon on Monday, about 400 klms to Phuket. Cal started vomiting about Ranong, on Burma border. He was throwing up about every 10min, so it took a long time to get to Phuket. We went straight to the hospital, as he was becoming severly dehydrated. So we arrived at Bangkok Phuket Hospital and they put him into Emergency. In the end it turned out to be food poiso...

Hi all, Today's main aim was to get the hire car that we will keep until Phuket and have a look around Hua Hin. This was partly achieved - at least getting the car was no problem, nor is driving around. Really just like driving at home and forgetting half the road rules (Geoff would be a natural!) In truth there are no speed signs and you have to watch out for motorbikes more than Aus, but no probs so far - we didn't even get lost. The only failure was that we ...
