Hello! We are currently staying on the island of Ko Phi Phi off the West Coast of Thailand. As like everywhere here, it is beautiful. We took a ferry from Railay to Phi Phi yesterday morning and arrived in the afternoon. Stepping off the ferry we were shocked at how new everything looked as we have got so used to walking on rickety wooden piers onto the islands. We later found out however that this island was hit badly by the 2004 Tsunami, hence most things have...

Hello! After leaving the paradise that was Ko Tao on Tuesday we took a very choppy ferry ride over to the island of Ko Samui, still beautiful but much bigger than Ko Tao-they actually had roads here! We stayed in another lovely beach bungalow on Big Buddha Beach in the north of the island and as the title of the beach gives away, it was here that I got to see my first big buddha!! ( I here that it loses the impact after you've seen several) It really was quite ...

Hey!! After getting the suprisingly comfortable (but in true Bangkok form 'bizarre'!) night train from Bangkok on Friday we arrived at the paradise that is Ko Tao, a little island just off the south of Thailand. Straight away, everything here seemed perfect, including the free upgrade to a beach side bungalow which (as it says) is lterally 2 steps from the beach! We are however, getting eaten alive by what I presume to be mosquitos but the location makes up for...

Sa-wat-dee-ka! We safely arrived into Bangkok in the early hours of Thursday morning and after some confusion were thankfully taken to our hotel where we crashed out untill the morning.

After feeling slightly normal after our sleep we plucked up the courage to venture into the craziness that is Bangkok city centre. It was prob...

Hello!!!!!! Today, I am very excited writing this as I have just done a 1200ft skydive!!!!!! Well maybe not just but at about 12 o'clock this afternoon! As I thought I would be, I am still on a high now. It feels so strange to think that we've done it. I had been trying to decide for the whole trip but when we arrived into Queenstown yesterday it just seemed like now or never so we booked it ready for today. And I have to say, I think its the best decision I've...
