Hello from Puerta Galera in the Philippines!! After possibly the longest journey in history we have arrived. Before leaving Semporna I quickly ate a cheese toastie at the dive shop, only to find myself with food poisoning half way through our overnight bus to Kota Kinabalu.I spent the rest of the journey in the toilet……..not an experience I ever want to repeat.

There wasn't a lot about Koh Lanta which reminded me it was Christmas day at all!!! Still can't complain I spent the day diving with customers and had a lovely time. After work we all had a beer to celebrate and then Mike, Gene and I all craved english styley food (which is hard to find on an island inhabited wi...
