It[s been a long time since I wrote in the journal so I'll try and make this as concise as possible. Met up with my parents and brother ok in Bangkok and we stayed in a lovely hotel. Showed them some sights for a day. Then we flew to Siam Reap (Cambodia top lefthand bit). We then spent 4 days of intense touring round all the Temples (saw Angkor Wat and Ta Phrom amongst all the temples). must have seen a million temples - but they were all really amazin...

Arrived back in Bangkok on Friday with Tom. We'd had a great time on Ko Tao, although it was a bit strange because it's the end of the season, so it was much quieter than I remembered it. The weather was good and we did lots of sunbathing (tom got burnt!! I seemed to have perfected the art of not getting too toasted in the sun!! Genius!!) and we also went snorkelling, which was really good - it's so amazing to see all the fish and they swin really close to you! ...

Arrived in Ko Tao yesterday after a fairly hellish journey - was just really long and tedious. Got to Cumphon late (about 12:30am). Stayed the night at a hostel and then got the morning ferry at 7am. We're staying at a nice resort-thing that has a quiet private beach and a good restaurant (although they don't do Pina Coladas which is very disappointing!!). Spent today sunbathing! Having a lovely time and the weather's been good so far. Going snorkelling tomorrow....

Tom arrived safely in Kl, although 3 hours late - which gave me chance to freeze in the air con at the airport and eat my way through a very nice tuna sandwich in brown bread (real novelty in Asia!) and a small bag of pick'n'mix (which was extortionately priced!) He brought me some tea bags and millionaire's shortbread and flapjacks from M and S so we had tea and cakes at 5pm!!! Very welcome! Spent a couple of days in KL and saw some sights and went to...

Back in KL now, arrived at about 1pm. Just been shopping to buy my new camera - its so cool!! Really nice and shiny! Will spend a while playing with it!! Means there should be some more photos soon! Hope all is well at home x
