travel update

hello there,
quick update from our laundry pitstop place - Krabi ! the smelliest collective pile of clothes ever (i do mean that) has given us a forced two day stop in krabi - not a bad place, looks like theres a few things on here,

after ko tao - where was quite gettin into the old snorkelling lark apart from being scared of big fishes (i'll deal with another fear in a mo) - we headed to surat thani to get the bus to kao sok national park, its an amazing place with the humungous lake, and tree house accomm ('our jungle house' its called if anyones passin through - as yer do!) - ran by a hilarious german - called klaus!!!

so, we'd been before, but not in wet season - and that only means one thing - Leeches!
we made it about 1k into the trail before justine started shouting 'ive got a leech on me' -
of course we all paniced, but eventually justine managed to get rid of it -

then i found one on my pants, and started sync dancing and screaming before calming down and becky managed to flick it off me - while justine took a photo of the mayhem!!

then booked a lake / caving trip the next day - which was superb, cavi8ng was amazing, very deep down in the pitch black, with ropes to get us down underground waterfalls - very exciting,

then the day wouldn't be complete without justine getting another leeche - they must like the irish blood - - Dad beware!

anyways, the highlight (my highlight) of today has been the bus staions 25 baht (approx 40 pence) pad thai lunch - i love this country!!!

ok, we hangin hear for a bit and then off to the coast then over to the island of ko phi phi i think - hope everyones ok - feel free to post here and send me anything to make me smile


speak soon

heh ho, see yer soon
