Date: 26th April 2011 Place: Koh Phangan Weather: hot and sunny Today was another chill out day to recover. When we got up I decided to go to a clinic down the road to have my leg cleaned and redressed as the one the woman had done the day before wasn't staying on. It was a good job I did because it needed a good clean and was the most painful 1000Baht I have ever spent. I almost threw up. She bandaged it up for me and told me to come back tomorrow and mak...

Because there were so many of us we got split into two groups. Whilst the first group were elephant trekking we wen...

Date: 22nd April 2011 Place: Koh Phangan Weather: Perfect! Now at bearable 30'C and bright skies! Woke up at 8am. Sleep doesn't seem to happen in this week. I got dressed and went down to the pool where Aimee and Simon were. All the electricity was turned off so we didn't know if we could get breakfast or not and we were all really hungry.
