James Bond Island Tour- We got up early this morning to go to the beach before our day trip to James Bond Island (the island where 'The man with the golden gun' was filmed!) - the tide was high however, so after a quick dip in the rough sea we headed to breakfast. Our coach picked us up at 12 and we headed North to our first stop; Wat Suwannakua or Monkey Cave Temple. This part of the tour we didn't enjoy much - because the monkeys were very vicious and...

We were up and about early so that we could get to the post office so the girls could post home their shopping! (mostly being wooden elephants called 'George'!) We then got a tuktuk to Kata beach which is on the west coast of Phuket Island and within 20 minutes we were there! We booked in to a nice guest house (which also turned out to be cheap!) sorted ourselves out and then headed out and about for a wander! We went straight to the beach and all looked...

The girls overslept this morning and were awoken by the boys banging on their door - impressive though because they got ready in 5 minutes flat - makes a change!!

After an hour wait we were picked up by an 'air conditioned' minibus and taken to P...

While the boys had a lay in, us girls went to 'Sea Quest' for breakfast (french cafe, which had the most gorgeous croissants!) and then headed out for a day of....yep you guessed it - shopping! The boys also did some shopping when they awoke and then went to use the internet! We brought some really lovely things and actually managed to get them for some great prices! (getting used to this bartering malarki!) Then in the afternoon Jody and Kirsty took a wand...

Some how we all managed to get up this morning after quite a heavy night - especially Kirsty and Barry! We were out to breakfast by 10 and heading to the pier for our 11.40 ferry to koh Samui, lugging our backpacks across town to get there - not the best hangover cure! After a 40 minute voyage we arrived in Koh Samui and managed to get straight into a taxi to Haad Chaweng; a lively resort on the East coast. We spent ages looking for a guesthouse to st...
