So we woke this morning fearing the worst and felt slightly blue. We had a look on Agoda and found some hotels/hostels that we could stay in. We headed down to the beach to see if the travel agent was open but we were to early. We went and sat on the beach and had banana pancakes to wait for the shop to open. The view and sun shining allowed us to come to terms with having to stay another night on Koh Samui as the hotel on Koh Tao is only costing £17 per night a...

Welcome 2016..... Isla and I woke up late morning, not feeling rough but certainly not Spring chickens. We headed down the beach to find a place for brunch and stumbled across this lovely restaurant that was built around a large tree. It had bird cages scattered around which contained exotic birds singing songs whilst people ate. We chose a pineapple and mango smoothie which was very refreshing and helped with the hangover.

Around midday we headed back to hotel, collected Jodie who was feeling really poorly all morning, and caught a taxi (essentially just a pick up truck with a bench in the back) up the r...

Well what a start! Sunday 27th December 2015 started off with a mad rush ( a bit like the Home Alone franchise, rushing to the airport ) Isla' parents picked us up and we headed to The Black Dog, Waltham Chase for a farewell lunch with the family and Lisa-Lisa. Once goodbyes were handed out we headed to Heathrow to catch the first flight of this magic journey. Heathrow was awesome, decorated stylishly with Christmas decorations. It felt that extra bit special ...
