It's 10 to 7 and were in bed, with a cup of tea watching a random film following a hot shower! Bliss following our 24hr bus trip from North to South Thailand!

It wasn't too bad to be fair, I've heard much much worse stories about long haul bus journeys in SE Asia. Ours went to plan we were in a comfortable VIP coach with air con, fully reclining seat, blanket, tv/entertainment in the headrest in front, even a hostess came by every now and again to give us snacks and water and we got 2 free meals. This was interesting as no one spoke english... i went for what all the locals were eating and it blew my head off! Amy had to stick to plain rice and noodles as no one could tell her if the dishes contained meat! The bus trip was like an airplane really but actually more spacious! We were travelling with the locals so didn't understand anything but I think in actual fact we were better off on this private green bus company than the government tourist ones!

Phuket is just a stop of point to catch up on some sleep in a nicer bed, we head to Koh Tao tomorrow which is another 6 hours travelling but we get to our dive resort about 5 pm and should hopefully have a transfer waiting for us. So excited about starting to learn to dive!! Hoping for good conditions and that I pick it up easily!
