Hi All, Dean and i have been busy over the last few days, squeezing in as much as possible into our time in Ko Lanta and Ko Phi Phi.

Ko Lanta was even quiter than Railey, we literally had the beach to ourselves. We got a ped for the day....sorry mum :) lucky no injuries were incurred no thanks to the trecherous roads that we attempted to drive across in the national park. Shaniqua (our lovely pink ped) tried her best but with both of us on the back we had to turn around and head back to base. Good fun and Dean even let me have a little go!

Monkey count has gone through the roof as we saw loads crossing the roads in the national park, and also visited monkey Island when we were in Phi Phi.

Ko Lanta was another chilled out place and we are now practised in the art of chilling in a hammock. Its a tough life!

After a few days there we needed a bit of night life and interaction with other humans so we headed to Ko Phi Phi, which is the opposite of Lanta and Railey. It is much more of a holiday destination with PR girls and drink promos....right up our street!

Phi Phi has been fun and we even blew 2 days budget on booze and food yesterday. we also took a boat trip across the very chopy waters to the little islands nearby, stopped to snorkel and went to Maya beach were the film 'the beach' was filmed. Spanish randoms kept shouting Leo as if he would appear from nowhere...it was weird.

We extended our stay to 5 days but unfortunately the weather has turned a bit poo. It is monsoon season after all. Faced with the prospect of staying in our 2 pound a night 'guest house' for another day we've decided to head to Phuket tomorrow morning.

Still loving Thailand, after Phuket we'll be heading over the east islands for the full moon party and to do our PADI diving course. We'll update as and when we can.

lots of love

Katie and Dean

P.s

Dean wants everyone to know his beard is coming along nicely...as is Katie's.
