Day 71 6th February We wake up to the sound of 100000 animals, insects and birds that are all fighting to be heard in a morning courus that's playing at full volume.... It's a nice way to be woken up, but we don't get up, and instead just relax and listen until 9 - 9.30..... We make our way down to the bamboo restaurant area that sits on the fringes of the sand and take a seat.... It really is a little piece of paradise..... What a beautiful environment thes...

Day 70 5th Feb We're up in good time and make our way to the breakfast area, only this time without being lucky enough to witness such the array of wild as we did yesterday... We have had a resident lizard that treats our balcony area as he own, and as expected he in gaurd in his usual spot.... He's motionless as we pass.... Only one eye moves, tracking our progress up the path.... Our taxi arrives just as we finish eating so we grab our bags and jump in the b...

Day 69 4th Feb Today starts off much like yesterday ended.... With my head in a map trying to get things planned for the remainder of our time here, only now I've got Shirees help too....

Were collected in a minivan which is preferred to a coach and take our seats for the next 6 hr journey. Our drivers good this time... I assume he must own this van as he takes far less risks than some we've experienced. The landscape becomes even m...

Day 16 I'm awake..... Its 3 am and I'm wide awake... Thai food has finally brought one of us down.... Shiree's spending more and more time in the loo and not looking like she's enjoying it... We get a knock at 07.30am on our door by hotel staff who have come to inform us that our transport for our day trip to Chaing Rai has arrived.... Neither of us have really slept since 3am and we have somehow lost a day... We were expecting to go to Chaing Rai tomorrow so w...
