We snorkeled in 3 places and the 2nd place was so deep but when you looked down all you saw was fish, thousands and thouseand of them, you could feel them all touching you it was an odd feeling. there was a chance that they may have bin tiny sharks in the 3rd place we snorkelled so cara didn't go in, shes funny but the 1st place we went she got in and saw the fish she did so well, caras scared of sharks incase ne1 didn't know! we went to the places where they had the tsunami, and the tour leader thanked evryone for raising money and wanted us to send are thanks home to britain, we ate in a resturant that had to be totally rebuilt from scratch, are money helped that, i thought it was sweet of him to thank us! we went to the phi phi beach where they filmed 'the beach' it was so good, i enjoyed it so much i fell asleep. the day paned out like that we kept travelling around in the boating island hopping etc.... then as an added bonus we saw dolphins, 20 of them jumping near are boat i got a bit excited a good end to a perfect day! went out partying lastnight and feel rough today we went down some nice pub in a back alley so we could have some drinks, we played pool had a boogey etcc.....then we went swimming at night bit carzy walked home soaked and i won't be doing it again i dn't think!! today we went kayaking, oh my god it was such hard work especially when your not feeling your best, we went to a lagoon and down some amasziong canals, we saw monkeys and wierd crab things, by the time we had headed back the tied had gone and there was no water so we had to carry the boats which just made us laugh, it was a good day but bloody hard work and im not used to that !!! the whole gang are getting on great everyones mixing youll see some pics off them, i have downloaded are photos up to yesterday so enjoy, chris- to look at the pics you have to have msn which is a hotmail chatting service, its easy to get youll see by my name that there is a star next to it you click on that, however im sure there may be a way of accessing them even if you don't have msn, ill try and find out for you!!! cause it means youd have to open a hotmail account. ill have a look in a min and email you. its www.spaces.msn.com see if you can see them there hope you are ok and that the weather pics up for you,
