Back again will try and get as many island entries as possible done today but this keyboard is a pile of poo and the space and other buttons arent working properly so i apologise now.
Anyway where was i, ok so we were waiting for the bus at 6pm at 7pm we get moved halfway around town (bearing in mind we are lugging our massive bags and abvout 5 others around) we then waited another half an hour before we got on the bus. Well we eventually got on the bus to Koh Samui, Got some good seats again whcih meant putting our chairs right back and chilling out. However we were surrounded by kissy kissy couples, i mean do people have to kiss and cuddle right in front of our faces....i dont need to see that. Stupid love who needs it :P There were some german guys on the seat in front of us on the bus, halfway through they decided to put their seats back, now the guy in front of char was literally lying on top of her. at one point i bent down to get the sprite and our cheeks were practically touching, we found this very amusing. The guy in front of me tried to put his seat further back like the other guy but my legs are a bit longer than chars so that wasnt happening. He kept trying though, the chair bashing into my knees, in the end he turned round to see what was stopping it and i just looked at him and said "they're my knees" Pointing out the obvious was clearly necessary for this german schlamper ( yes i still remember german) he was lucky i didnt pull out my one and only german line, pass auf ich habe ein taschenmessen which means somewhere along the lines of watch out i have a pocket knife......No that beauty could wait!
The guy on the bus came over halfway through journey and closed everyones curtains, and put our bags on the chair in front of us he actually moved peopels bags from overhead to under seats...i mean if u dont use overhead whats point in having them. Anyway char opened the curtain again and i picked up my bag. There was no way i was leaving my bag with money, passport, camera etc on floor for anyone to grab. We had heard stories about the people who work on busses crawling under seats when lights were out and people asleep to take their money and things. The bus stopped at Suratthani (maturely we called it sweaty fanny) and the first 4 rows were told to get off bus HURRY HURRY the man said . honestly justa little bit of warning would be nice. Then suddenly we were all told to get off. Easier said than done with one flip flop...Seriously looked everywhere could only find one, i said to char am i really gonna have to do the next 6 hours of this journey with one shoe.... We were the only ones left on bus and then this thai guy from front of bus popped his head up holding my flip flop...how the hell did it get to front of bus...reckon that german nobber kicked it down there. Well i was nice enough to spot his jumper on bus and if i didnt believe all clothes are valuable when travelling i wouldve left it there but instead my conscience took over and i handed it back to him..he looked a little suprised that i could be nice. One of the guys on the bus with us was moaning saying he felt his bag being pulled in the middle of the night and how he didnt sleep at all...then another man turned round and told us about the plane from bangkok who had landed wrong in samui and crashed into the sea where over 40 people had died, turns out that guy wa sgonna be on that plane but decided he couldnt afford it so he soon shut up moaning about the conditions on the bus. Waited about an hour at this place in middle of nowhere, no one told us what we were doing there, then a bus came and took us to a ferry port or at least we thought it was. We waited there for another hour and half..,. We did meet single parents alone together tho, this woman was there with her son and it was like theyd both walked straight from the film.... (suz and mia u have been replaced by another spat family) when i chanted single parents alone together to char we were both in giggles for a while. the boy was such a moaner and he kept going why why why why i turned round to char and asked if it was illegal to hit kids in thailand... apparently she thought it was. That was that plan out of the window. Got a really uncomfortable bus to the ferry and i kept falling asleep on char, she mentioned how my head kept flailing towards her and then id wake up then id go again!! Got to the ferry everyone was shouting hurry hurry hurry boat leaves 5 mins , yes we know we have been waiting for the last 4 hours for you to get us on the damn boat! I dont know where people get the idea that thai people are really friendly... i have not found that at all.
The boat journey was bout an hour or so and i spent that sleeping downstairs we got off the stop and went to find Loi the woman who had sold us these huts to stay in and she told us to go with her brother who was another annoyingly rude man. There was a lil boy in the front who was humming to himself...i saw that as a sign he was possessed!! Got to the place we were staying and it was literallya hut on the beach, but when i say on beach it was right on beach so i cant complain. Had a nice sleep then cocktails pineapple daquiri was especially nice there char was not a fan of the manhattan. Walked down the beach which looked gorgeous but was actually like gravel halfway down, iv always wondered how they make glass out of sand untill i walked on that beach now i am very aware. Next day woke up and stayed by the beach all day had dinner at the place and went on net to update our last blogs. Met this irish couple who were our neighbours and had a good chat to them they mentioned they were having problems with cockroaches...luckily we were ok.. Well they jinxed us cos i went to toilet and there was a cockroach on the wall i told char who stayed on the bed and just shouted to me to get rid of it so i scared it out of the slats in the wall and poured water down it so it struggled to crawl back in. These huts were so small u could barely move. The next morningw e woke up at 2pm luckily it was a muggy day so didnt feel like we had wasted it. Went and put our laundry in to this lady a few doors down and walked to find a book. we have become reading fanatics since we been away. Found a tesco on our walk which was nice and got some good lil bulk buys inc oreos, soaps and beer. Picked up our washing, this little girl must have been ladys grandaughter for some reason took a shine to me and ran up to me tapping my leg when i walked in she was cute. We then went to look for food and ended up bk at tescos where there was a kfc which was very nice indeed. Then went home and sat outside having a beer and chatting to irish girl next door. Had another cockroach that i got rid of and settled down for the night.
The next morning the weather wasnt the best again but brightened up later on we went to another book shop we were informed about and bought a couple of books each and then on net to update blogs, made arrangements to skype that evening so when it got to half 4 and we realised we were hungry as hadnt eaten we went bk to hut for food and a nap. Woke up about 9ish and then headed to skye for half 10 when chars niece would be home from school. I spoke to Em on skype, was sooooo goood to see her have missed her lovely face and we chatted away for an hour or so/. Then suz came on so i managed to speak to her and see the gorgeous Mia who is now clapping her hands she did manage to cut me and suz off a couple of times by throwing herself onto the laptop tho lil rascal.
The next day we had booked a trek so were picked up early from our hotel and as we got into the truck we thought we heard the people saying hi to us, but we werent sure i didnt want to turn round and say hiiii in case they hadnt said a thing and i looked like a weirdo. then when more people got in and they said hey to them we realised they had said hi and we just looked rude. Two french couples and one of the guys was very beautiful char tried all day to take pic sof him slyly she has one of the waterfall we went to see but was mainly just his face she was trying to get haha, We went to see a monkey and elephant show first where the monkeys rode around on lil trikes and the elephant stood on two legs, played football and played harmonica. it did seem very cruel but at same time was very funny. the elephants did these massages so volunteers went up me and char kept our hand firmly down. There was this one family who were show offs u know the type like to be centre of everything, well the woman had been up and now the man was like me me me so the guy got him up there and isntead of him laying on his front he made him lye on his back, this time the elephants trunk went on to his mouth like he was kissing him (was gross) then on to his nether regions which was also very amusing,....serves him right bloomin show off. We then went for a ride on this elephant most people had straps to hold them in we seemed to have just a piece of rope that char held...i was not impressed...now if u thought the camel was bad this seemed higher up and i was pooing myself. Char was taking pics and i couldnt do anything but hold on tight. Getting off was another problem as i held onto the guy to stable myself....im a mess! Afterwards we went to see loadsa sights like a bug buddha and these rocks that were called grandfather and grandmother and were just rocks shaped like genital parts of men and woman..very interesting. all pics can be seen on fb anyway.
Ohhh nearly forgot we had a fish spa on your feet, was a horrible horrible feeling they wouldnt leave me alone skanky things i lasted about 1min before removing my feet and deciding against the horrible feeling!
That night we went to Mulligans for dinner was very nice and had a carlsberg aswell even if it did cost me a fair bit was nice for a change. Then this badn came on brother and sister well at least i hope it was brother and sister, this guy was beautiful (although he did look like a guy we used to go to school with-- i may look him up when i get home) He sang sex bomb which made us laugh as it reminded us of turkey, the girl sang ironic and zombie for us but unfortunatly they didnt have bruno mars ...i was raher hoping on the guy singing that..I walked past him and he nodded and said hey i was tempted to chase after him to be honest. Anyway we were bout to ask for the bill when these two other guys walked in who were also hot so we decided to stay for one more drink... be rude not to. Rang fred and lis and really enjoyed hearing their voices and catching up.
Saturday morning we went to the harbour to get a boat to Koh Tao, me and chars fave pastime is to watch people and try and work out whats going on... he likes her but she also likes him but he likes them both is quite fun to watch....so off we go to Koh Tao....
