After another horrible bus journey with no air con and being stuck up the back, we finally got back to thailand woo hoo! chiang mai is a cool wee city and had a night bazaar that was gigantic and pretty cool to just go around. Darren's all happy cause we walked past a guitar shop and went in for a wee nosey. We ended up getting a guitar, case, tuner, capo, extra strings and a wee bunch of plectrums for under 50pound. now its just a fight of who gets to keep it...

We've all got on really well and our dives were great caus...

we're on a wee island just now in thailand called koh tao doing a four day open water course. its such a cool place and our group is great so the banter has been non stop. we had one of our practice dives today in a pool and tommorow we're going in the see ;-) one of the mornings we get off we're all going to shark bay where apparently your snorkelling and the sharks are just swimming about underneath you so that should be amazing. our timing has worked out p...
