So after the 21hr journey we finally arrived at our resort and ......its beautiful, I have never stayed in anywhere so exoitic! It amazed me that I finally heard silence! I hadnt realised the whole time in Bangkok I had never heard silence, it was certaintly a nice feeling.
Again I am sharing with a girl called India from the tour group, we get on well which is nice, we have a little bungalow with a hammock outside, its so nice. It reallz shocked me theamount of steep hills on the island, for some reason I thought it would be flatter.
Our first full day here, we went on a boat trip around the island, again much bigger than I expected and went to a place called bottle beach, which was amazing, i have never seen beached like it. We had a tour guide called Peter Pan and he went and picked some leaves from the forest for us to eat, apparantly monkeys love them, personally didnt rate the left a funny taste. Really like Koh Phangan, the beaches are so beautiful but as its full moon its starting to get reallz busy on the island, and the parties are mental. We went to a beach party which had a foam party on it, everyone is drinking buckets of alcohol, verz fun and now looking forward to full moon.
Yesterday we went to the national marine park which was about 2hr boat ride away. I had such an amazing day. Me and a girl called Kate went snorkelling and saw the most beautiful fish, we bumped into another snorkeller who gave us some bread and so I was feeding the fish out of my hand. Dad, you would have loved it. We then kayaked from the boat to the main part of the marine and went to look at the lagoons. Your not able to get into the water here but it was just stunning to see. Finally we rock climbed into some caves where we were surrounded bz monkeys, it was so surreal but so nice to see them so close in their natural habitat.
Today we have been elephant trekking, it was nice but at the same time I did feel really bad for them, I think its something I have checked off my things to do but dont think I would do it again. There was a really cute little Thai boy though who sang to us. I have found all the Thai people so friendly and food amazing. Then we came back to the resort and I had an aloe vera wrap in the spa, it so was so relaxing and hopefully will calm down all my bites. The spa is set on the beach and overlooks the sea, not that private though. he he, someone might get an eye full if going for a wonder on the beach.
Amz arrived today today but have not seen her yet. Its officially the last night of the tour so we are going out for dinner and drinks. Have no plans for the Friday or Saturday, and then its full moon, which will be crazy.
Will update you soon and get some pictures uploaded, i have taken so many, although mz video camera wasnt so waterproof and broke the first time I tried to use it, not impressed.
Love to all zou back at home, hope everything is well. missing you all
