So when zoe left this last time (as we had to rush off to make a train) we'd just left Koh Tarutao, and we're heading back to Hat Yai. The journey back was fine up until the point where we tried to get off the minibus, as we realised we were right next to the hostel we wanted to stay in. The driver didn't like this idea (even though he was letting other people off) and told us to stay on. Thinking he was going to be extra nice and take us to the hostel door, we s...

Argh! I can't even remember what's happened since I last updated the blog page. James is off changing some money into Singapore dollars, as we leave Malaysia tonight on an overnight train (yay, more nightime travel!?) We both enjoyed our birthdays on Koh Tao. For James' we went and saw Muay Thai boxing, which was interesting to see.

I crashed out in the hostel room while James went in search of treks. Wh...
