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! Watched Crank and Blood Diamond on the coach, and tried to get some sleep. Coach was good, a double decker with air conditioning and retractable seats. Had a stop off at 11.30 at some crummy run down 'shop' where a few ...

30th May 2007 Today we woke up at 11.30am but we were both really tired, i still felt a bit queasy and i think Jenny was a bit hungover, so we went to sleep again and didn't wake up til 3.45pm! 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!

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 ...

28th May 2007 Forgot to write that yesterday when we had a drink, we had a toast to Grandma as it would have been her 90th birthday yesterday if she were still here. :( Today we slobbed by the pool. Yes, our hostel has a pool! Result! The temperature was baking so a cool swim was lovely! Then this afternoon we came back and had a shower and fully after-sunned as we both had stingy parts of us! Not to mention I got bitten 3 times on the same leg last night! So v...

27th May 2007 Got up, well woken up by a massive storm at about 4am although didnt get much sleep last night. So wasn't in the greatest of moods having to get up at 4.45am, when it was still dark! Having to lug our rucksacks to the bus stop in the rain that was hammering down! Flight on time, arrived in Bangkok local time of 10.30am. Got a taxi to Khao San Road (the main travellers hangout) which cost 450 Baht - around 6 pound and took around an hour. Booked in...
