Hellooo everyone, glad that you could join me. I've got sore eyes this evening from the sea water waves splashing in my face - yes, I went surfboarding!.... well, not quite - it was boogie boarding but I'm pretty sure I'll be doing some surfboarding lessons here so by the time I get to Australia, I should be a pro. It started raining but we jumped in anyway - Ant only stayed in for 25 mins cos his chest was getting bruised with the coating of the boar...

AAAAAAHHHHH, it's too hot here! 40 degrees is way past my comfort temperature zone. We're in Bali now, after a one day stop in Singapore to buy electrics (I got a 6GB MP4 player for 60 quid and Ant got loads of electric massage gear, electromagnetic bracelets and a DVD player). We also stopped at the National Museum which was well worth the stop - it is the most modern and easy to view museum I've ever seen. You walk up to any item and choose that num...

Sawadee Kha from Chiang Mai. Thanks everyone for your messages and news from home, Soraya, Selina, Lianne, Gemma, Suz, Simon and others - lovely to hear from you.

The last few days of Krabi were great - we did end up going kayaking around the amazing rock/cliffs poking out of the sea, and found little caves which we canoed into and through. Bec...

Ok, got to be really quick again cos this place is charging me bloody 3 Baht a minute!! We're in Railey - a gorgeous beachy/limestone cliffy area in Krabi. Railey is so laid back and chilled out that we've been here for 4 days or so. This morning I went snorkelling in the most beautiful lagoony waters by myself cos Ant's had loads of swimming already. Unfortunately, there's something funny about the sea water in Thailand...or maybe it's just m...

Hi everyone, In Phuket now, having a great time. Today I went snorkling twice after I bought my new 'professional' snorkling kit.. it's letting water in the goggles a touch but it's crystal clear viewing. I was snorkling alone while Ant lazed on the beach. It's a bit scary snorkling alone (just cos it's the big wide ocean and you're so open to attack from creatures of the depths). Ok, I'm exaggerating a bit - they were quite shallo...
