Hey everyone Today was... Travel day! Hmm. We travelled from Krabi (thailand) to Penang in Malaysia. We were up and ready to leave at 8:30am and spent all morning travelling down through Thailand, and all afternoon travelling down through Malaysia. We stopped for lunch at a very strange place just before the border, and you'll be glad to know that everything went smoothly as we crossed the border (we got new stamps in our passports!). Penang is an island with ...

Hey everyone Today was a more relaxing day as we recovered all the fun the day before. Christina was feeling better now and a lie in helped. We walked down to the beach and found a shaded spot where for a few hours we just watched the boats come and go and christina read alex's book. Wandering around Ao Nang, christina had a lovely ice cold pineapple shake and we found a nice cafe for lunch. Christina had onion on toast (evidently still struggling with the langu...

Hey everyone Today was speedboat day! We got up at 8am or so and were downstairs and ready by 8:20. We walked to the beach and boarded our swish looking speedboat.

It was a beautiful sunny day as we began the 45 minute journey to the first island. The boat quickly picked up speed and though it wa...

We got up at 7:30 and were ready at 9. we had a three hour drive in a minivan, which was nice and calm compared to the bangkok drivers (still no seatbelts though). It was kitted out! It had extra speakers and a flip down LCD screen, but unfortunately we didn't have a dvd to watch. In fact, we had a dodgy cd of 90s hits to listen to the whole way there. Thank god for ipods. Ch...

Hey everyone We woke up quite late, partly because of the thai wedding and partly because of the overnight train the night before. We had planned to meet the others at midday, but didn't make that... Once we were finally up, full of breakfast and ready to go, we put on our lovely new walking shoes and headed down the road to Khao Sok National Park. The park is huge and has many waterfalls, so we planned on going to just the closest ones (3km away). We got a map...
