2nd June 2007 Got up and got the free shuttle bus down to the beach. Took some laundry down which took 24hrs. Then we heard thunder and saw dark clouds rolling in so we decided to head for shelter in a cafe/bar. Then as the sky cleared we got a couple of sun beds on the beach. Lay there for a bit but had to keep going in the sea to cool off as the sun was SO hot! Although there seemed to be loads of dead fish floating on the shore which was minging! Came back go...

1st June 2007Today has been an absolute NIGHTMARE!!! We arrived at some random place around 6am where everyone piled off the coach and into these shoddy 'van' efforts. Then we drove to Sunat-Thani, not sure how long it took as i was dozing! But we arrived and everyone split off into separate vans to different destinations. We got into ours, our rucksacks were tied onto the roof of this thing, only for the rain deciding to chuck it down and completely...

31st May 2007 Today has been soooo boring, we got up packed our bags and checked out of our room by 12 midday. Then we practically did nothing - played cards and pool til 6pm which was when our pick up to Phuket was. Which didnt leave til half 7!

Had a stop off at 11.30 at some crummy run down 'shop' where a few ...

Jenny went to sit by the pool and I had another hour in bed! hehe. Then I got up, had a shower and came down to the cyber cafe where we had a conversation with Dad on MSN using webcams so we could see each other! It was cool! Then we went out for tea at an Italian and the...

29th May 2007Today we got up and decided to get a Tuk-Tuk to the Grand Palace and to the Emerald Buddha. And to see the 'Wat Inthara Wihan' - which is this HUGE gold buddha! It only cost us 10 Baht so a bargain. I have uploaded pictures of these so you can see. When we got to the Grand Palace, we didn't realise that you had to cover your legs, and as we were both in shorts, we had to 'borrow' these "stunning" full length thai skirts ...
