Wow, more beautiful islands!! We finished our diving course on Thursday (we are now qualified open water divers which is a bit scary) and we left Ko Tao on Fri and headed to the slightly crazier island of Ko Phangan (quite an experience but such a lovely island if u manage to explore a bit further than the main beach) - in a mad moment we decided to attempt a motorbike again so that we could explore - pleased to say it was a lot more successful than our 1st experience and we are both in 1 piece (altho the roads were still very dodgey!)

We then took the night boat accross to the West coast - quite a strange experience for phil as it meant he woke up on his birthday at 5 on a boat! We are now in Ao Nang, just outside Krabi which is much more commercialised and more touristy but still absolutely beautiful - we spent yesterday afternoon on Railey Beach (wow!) and went sea Kayaking in the mangrove swamps today which was brilliant. Off to Phi Phi tomorrow for some more beautiful beach time :) hope all is good in the UK.

PS - we are really sorry but faiing miserably with trying to get photos on to here - we have managed to put a lot of facebook (a few more on sophie's page) - sorry for those who do not have access to facebook!
