I love Thailand so much! After spending 3 solid days shopping at the markets in Bankok we decided it was time to move on to somewhere a bit more tranquil, away from the noise, smell and hecticness ( if thats even a word!?). After 17 hours of travelling we reached Ko samui, a small island where I am now. Our travelling lifestyle has somewhat changed since Australia,as we appear to be skabillionairres here!. At the mo we're staying in a gorgous beach hut right on the sea front for 2 pounds a night!. Also, instead of eating super noodles we've eaten out everynight - starter, main, pudding and many drinks for a mere few squids! We love it!. The heat has pushed me to take drastic measures, im now using factor 60+ sunblock so im permantly glowing illuminous white!. Our days have been spent mainly on the beach, swimming, sunbathing and having thai massages! Our plans now are to head over to Phi phi for a week or so, than back this way to Ko Phan Yang for the full moon party before heading home on the 18th May! Emma- How did the marathon go? Michele- Hows the new romance panning out? lots of my best hugs and kisses xxx
