Unfortunately we're not staying on the computers that long this session so I won't be able to write much once again.
It is so amazingly good to be back in Thailand where we can just relax on the beautiful beaches and afford the meals that we get; and oh such tasty meals. We did a massive 48 hr travel journey which involved getting trains around London to Heathrow Airport, then plane to Zurich, another plane to Bangkok, taxi to Khao San, then we decided to catch the sleeper train that night to get to Koh Phangan, so taxi out to train station then the 12 hr train ride to Siruthani, 1 hr bus ride to the coast, then 3 hr boat ride to Koh Phangan. It's all the little ones that take it out of you because you actually have to move your bags and all that. Overall though through the time zones and what not we did pretty well with the sleeping patterns as far as I can tell.
At the Bangkok airport Zarah was waiting for us and is able to join our travels for 10 days.
It has been an absolutely beautiful day today. Would have been the best day ever had I not had some strife with the motorbike, the tire was too bald and it went flat but ruined the chain and rubber as well so had to replace everything not just the tube. Cost alot for here, still not much in all but the money is rather tight now. The water feels kind of cold when you get in at first; but i figure that's a good thing because it gets so hot that you need for it to cool you down, and within a short time its a very pleasant temperature. The sunset yesterday was really beautiful and the water feels really perfect when the air cools down some. We've been playing lots of frisbee and Alyson and I were already burnt before we even got to the Island. Our pasty extended winter skin could not even survive the boat trip. It was rather decieving though because the wind made it quite chilly.
I'm in a tired patch at the moment so its even harder to jolt the old brain. Guess I better talk about the rest of London and Scotland.
Well everything worked out a little too well almost in relation to getting to Scotland for new years. We'd left everything very late, then Kevins parents offered to take us up to Glascow because they were going that way, and luckily Pete was able to take us across to Edinburgh the next day; so the only thing we had to book were flights back from Edinburgh which we got for a reasonable price considering the short notice.
The first night in Glascow we were able to stay with Jeremy at his parents place. Then that night we met up with Pete and they took us on a pub crawl down a small little street behind Pete's ex Uni.
Wooh, we're on the move now. Gotta go and I am very ready for a massage or lay down on the beach.
