Hello everyone (one of my last blogs to you all)

I had the most magical time in Koh Tao. after my last blog, the day got better and better. I checked myself in to a 5 starrer (dont ask how much) and i couldnt believe the suite i was in. i had the most stunning view of the bay with a kingsize bed overlooking it all! wake up in the morning to a wall of glass with that view!!! so as you can imagine after jumping up and down and getting super uber excited i did a bit more jumping up and down and getting super uber excited!!! The hotel porter was laughing so much and he said he had never seen a guest so happy! i really really really was! so after seeing how amazing the shower was (of course had to try out) went to the pool and jacuzzi :-) bliss bliss bliss. so after a refreshing dip, went to the beach (consumed yet another shake) and sunbathed all morning! lovely apart from the nice shade of red that i turned!

In the afternoon the frenchies and I hired some scooters to go explore the island. erwan didnt feel comfy driving on the left so i was only to happy to step up and take hold of the controls! bloody hell its a miracle we survived. the roads are somewhat uneven!!!! after motoring up a very steep hill, giving it some welly! the road suddenly changed and we were being thrown all over the place! i think the words ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttt came out of my mouth! but with my amazing navigational skills (haha) we motored through! we found a lovely spot on the south for a little swimming and some lunch in a cafe overlooking the bay. the rest of the day was spent swimming chilling and drinking beer and mohitos. was another fantastic meal! eating like a mad woman down here. im putting back all the weight i lost at the start (damn it)

So my final day in Koh Tao was spent in bed (didnt get up till 12!! shocker) and then spent the afternoon snoozing by the pool! then more mohitos and more mohitos and more mohitos! yum yum! I said fare de well to the frenchies, they have been great travelling companions! will miss their quirky sense of humour... for example dog diving will live with me for a long time to come hahahaha.

So yesterday after a lazy start and a lengthy breakfast that turned in to lunch i spent a lot of moeny in the shops! Then jumped on the ferry to koh samui. Met a wonderful couple called Annabel and Mike. They were so lovely and i was so pleased to meet them. They took me to a great place to stay, so nice when someone knows where to go and you know at the other end it is going to be good! So i then hit the shops! and spent yet even more money..... just dont think about it!!! haha and they took me to the most amazing restaurant. Had the most amazing seafood and it was melt in your mouth you never want this to end type food.... was a great meal to be ending my holiday with! so after a little more shopping... yowsers! we hit the beach and had a drink, i say hit the beach, you do actually sit on the beach! was great! however there were these horrible men that kept putting animals on you, so i was a little unnerved to say the least! i dont fancy a lizard on my shoulder thankyou very much! Im so pleased I met them as i wouldnt have had such a wonderful time in Koh samui!

So today off to BKK for my last 24hours in Thailand! cramming loads in and still have more shopping to buy! looking forward to my painful facial! oh yeah im going back for another!!!!! though a pedicure is now out of the question as i kinda b*****ed up my toe by yet again falling over... worse thing is i wasnt even drunk! what was amusing that im my agony, blood everywhere, the locals were more interesting in cleaning the pavement than helping me!!! was quite funny actually, dont worry about me... im losing my big toe but you clean your pavement!!!! hehe

I have to say the islands were spectacular. The seas are so blue and the sands so white it is like out of a postcard, with banana trees and all! However i realise im such a city girl because soon as i was back to the buzz buzz of koh samui i felt comfortable again! oh and the ladyboys are fascinating! Though you cant help but think at time its a bit like a freak show when they parade themsleves getting you to take photos of them! but my god their legs!!!!!! i would die to have legs like that! and its a man! takes the pee! hehe. Im excited about coming home now and cant wait to see my lovely mummy at the airport on sunday! (sorry its so early!!)

love you all millions, see you all really soon
