Hello, we are back from a 10 day road trip and are back in Kuta (though this time staying on Kuta Beach, not Seminyak (two beaches away). Thankfully it is low season (due to the rainstorms which start punctually just after midday and last 45 mins before it brightens up again. Actually, last night we were treated to a night thunderstorm as well which was right over us. The roof shook and all. So because of the low season, hotels are cheap, tours are cheap and we...

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.

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...
