Hi Guys!! Sorry for no blogs but I have finally hunted down a restuarant that has internet for a huge expense so I must be quick! I have no time to read emails or facebook so I'm afraid this is it for a few days until I leave but I will try and catch u all up quickly!
Well last time I wrote was Saturday night (?) and I had just found out that th weather is good in the islands so we all went out to celebrate. We got the skytrain in Bangkok which was really cool and took us to a fancy part of Bangkok that I didn't know existed. We were just walking along and then all of a sudden there was an elephant in the street and I hadn't even had any buckets yet. They charge you to buy a bag of fruit and feed it. I thought it looked quite sad but then it walked past a bar where there was loud music and it started moving its head side to side like it was dancing...so cute!
The I saw the greatest thing ever, outside Mc Donalds was a statue of Ronald Mc Donald doing the prayer posiiton to say Sawatdee! It was so funny, Me and Morgan got a picture with it and then I saw a huge christmas tree so had to have a pic with that too because I haven't seen anything christmasy yet.
Then we went to a restuarant that I had founf in the lonley planet guide called Cabbages and Condoms. It is a nonprofit place that uses the money to spread the world about aids and stuff. It was a really fancy restuarant and we thought it was going to be a little shack down a dark alley. They had models everywhere dressed up in clothes made out of condoms and the contraceptive pill, it was really funny. The food was soooo good. I had a sweet beef curry and it was like a mix between an indian curry and a stew. I loved it!! After dinner we went to the gay bit in Bangkok for some buckets but they didn't have any so we bought a bottle of sangsum and drank away!!
The next day I checked the net and found out that all the islands were still raining and so everyone had lied. All plans chened within 2 mins and me and the frenchies decided to try Koh Chang instead which is an island close to Bangkok so the weather would be good. Morgan decided to stay in Bangkok for the weekend to visit her friend from home. We started tracvelling too last in the day and the coach took 5 hours so we had to stay in a place called Trat for the night. The room we had was lovely there. Overlooking the river and it had a tv and everything so we were pretty happy.
The next morning we woke up really early (8.30am) and got a ferry over to Koh Chang which onky took an hour and the weather was good so we were happy. When we arrived there we couldn;t get a taxi to the beach we wanted to stay at because it was too far away so we were stranded there. In the end they agreed to take our bags there but we had to hire mopeds to drive oursleves. I was NOT happy about this but I had no choice and we set off on our travels. I sat on the back of Fabien's bike and he went really slowly because he knew I was scared!
When we got closer to the place that we wanted to stay the road disappeared and we had to go over the scariest dirt track ever. I thought we were going to die but the guys loved it. We finally arrived in one piece and gt a little hut on the beach each. It was all good and the beach was absolutely lovely. There was literally nothing there at all. No internet, shops or anything so we only had the bar at the place to occupy ourselves. There was no electricity so they turned a generator from 6pm to 1am ant then it was lights out and you had to walk to find a toilet in the pitch black.
I got extremely drunk that night because I knew I would be scared then I hid a bucket up my top (because obviously nobody would see it!) and took it back to my room as a toilet but it turned into more aof a puke bucket!! :-s The guys walked me to my room to check I was ok and when we opened the door there was a tarantula on my ceiling and a cockroach on my bed so I freaked out!! Then I basically passed out that night because I was so drunk! Next day we moved to a new place which is tons more expensive but we have our own bathroom and 4 beds in our room so its all good! The funiest thing was trying to get to the new place because we had to bring us and our backpacks on the 2 mopeds! I wore mine on the back of fabien's moped and mael wore his and had fabien's between his legs. It was soo funny and our moped kept on stopping halfway up the hills because it couldn't handle the weight!!!
Today we have just been chilling out at our new beach which is even better than the last and there isn;t anyone else there at all. I got badly sunburnt though which isn;t good. Right I must go now. Much love and will write again soon xxxxx
