Well that's my first sunbathing day since I've been here n it was fab! Although it was cloudy I am now blick as ever!!! Eating corn on the cob and bananas on the beach got me slightly towards my 5 a day and the lil local kids were great entertainment to watch diving into the water whilst pulling up their rather large swimming shorts!!!

Pmsl at our instructor showing us the signal where we hold hands in a circle and let him get in the middle i...

Wow well my 10 years youth justice work certainly stood me in good stead for this one!!! When I arrived in koh tao, I set about finding the local school so that I could teach some English! We found it on the map and I sped off on the back of sallys moped! When I arrived, I was greeted by 'Eve' who was absolutely lovely and spoke excellent english!!!
