take me to the beach...

Had a quality few days and the sun is shining properly for the first time since we been here!! wahooo!!
We said bye to our Essex lads and since then I've been really ill being sick so had to chill for a bit and now I have conjuctivitus, greeeeat!! but it aint stopping me from having a good time.
We had to cross the border to get our passports re-stamped so we can stay here for another month. Was a mission and ended up in Malaysia for bout 20mins then come back, seemed pointless to me, we stayed in Krabi for the night and went back to Phi Phi the next day coz we love it here. We are gonna do Krabi and Ko Lanta after xmas now.
So back in Phi Phi we booked our selves a camping trip to Maya Beach (where they filmed The Beach) and it was amazing!!! We left at 3 in the afternoon and only had bout 9 others in our group so was nice to get to know everyone.
On our boat ride over we stopped to go snorkelling; normally I would stay on the boat too scared to get in coz there were fish everywhere!! but I decided to give it a go so got on my snorkel and life jacket (haha) and swam with the fish and actually quite enjoyed it. I did freak out a bit as they were surrounding us but wouldn't let Amy leave my side and we ended up having fun.
We got to the island and it was beautiful. The sun was shining still and the sea was the bluest and clearest I have ever seen u could see right to the bottom and the sand was so soft and white, it really was paradise!!!

We all set up our tents on the beach and sat down for dinner which was blooooody spicy curry, phwoar!!! we then made ourselves comfortable on the mats and got drinking on the buckets with a BBQ going infront of us. We put on our music and chatted away having a laugh and playing drinking games. There just about 12 people on this island, no one else at all. The walk to the loo's were pretty scary tho as it was pitch black n u had to walk through a foresty bit and there was a huge crab in there which u had to watch out for!!ahhh!!! I sat up watching the stars, there were so many of them it was amazing and we went for a paddle when the moon was shining down on the sea. Our group were really cool; an irish couple, 3 Ozzy girls, 2 Irish women, and a French couple along with our German and Thai leaders. Some people went bed pretty early but I didnt want the night to end so decided to set my bed up on the beach and layed there all night taking in the scenery and stuff (god I sound like an old fart but seriously this place is unreal!!!)
Hardly slept all night but apparently amy said we had crabs crawling over us in the night, ewww. Got up early and went swimming in the sea, had brekkie and left around 10. Was such a good trip.
We got back, booked ourselves in somewhere and got straight down the beach because the sun was proper shining for once wahooo!!! Our last night in Phi Phi 2nite before we head back to Koh Samui to spend xmas and new year with Nic and Law, I cant wait!!xxx

Phi Phi Paradise...


Phi Phi is amazing! I love it here! Is so different and there are no cars on the road, u walk it in 20 mins and everyone is so friendly!

We went out the other night dressed as punk chicks! got battered as usual, the clubs were really cool!! we went mad dancing and having a good night and met some guys from Essex who know some people I know and they actually know Blackmore!!!

We got a speed boat out with the Essex guys yesterday and I think it is the best day I have had so far!! was amazing!! had our own private boat (which the men paid for bless), our itunes music blaring out (they had loads of magic fingers playing!!), plenty of beers going round and the sun shining (to start with) The boat ride was flipping scary at times though coz it was quite choppy and sitting at the front of the boat u bounced off ur seat at times, I hated this part as I am such a wimp so sat at the back where it was less bumpy but it actually got sooooo bad at one point on the way home I cried. But apart from this it was a quality day. We drove round to different islands, went to Monkey Bay and fed the monkeys, arr!! the guys went snorkelling with hundreds of fish swimming round them while I sunbathed on the front of the boat and they tried to find sharks but had no luck.
Everyone managed to get me in at one point but not for long as I started to freak out about fish being in the sea and gobbling me up (haha) We pulled up and listened to Bob Marley and proper chilled for a while as it started to piss down big time, didnt ruin it for us though.
And I finally go to see where the beach was filmed (although I wanna go back when its sunny to see it properly) but it was a stunning place!
(although the pic dont do it justice!)
After our wicked day out we all power napped then met up at some rock bar (Rolling Stoned) and hit the buckets again!! had a fab night, chilling on the beach and at bars, dancing and drinking. And went bk to theirs to watch a DVD (this is luxury for me and Aim as we dont even have a TV) and they had air con! seriously u start to appreciate things alot more out here when u havent got them. Things like purfume for me and Aim is a proper treat haha smelly us!!
The blokes are wicked though, so good to hear the Essex accent, they all speak like Danny Dyer is wicked! Their last night tonight though b4 they hit Oz so we are all gona dress up whoo whoo!!!xxx

Phuket and Phi Phi...

We spent a few days in Phuket but werent keen on it. Spent a couple of days on the beach until it stormed and pissed down, but we were ill quite a bit so stayed in one night.


Our last night we went Tiger club n met some Ozzy's and they took us to the ice bar which was freeeeeeeeeeeeezing!!!!only had a shot in there but had to get out coz of the coldness!! so went to another club with them and had a boooogay!!



One of the guys wound me up in McDonalds though so I chucked BBQ sauce at him but he blocked it and it went back at me and over my face (trust me he deserved it over him!) so Aims poured coke over him haha and we walked out. Went to the beach and back to the guys swimming pool (luxury) then passed out at home.



Made our way to Phi Phi hungover again hahaha!! quite nice boat ride, weather not great. This island is cool though, no roads or cars jst walking for transport here!! Me and aim stayed in some skanky tree house dive for 2 nights had a tin roof and swear was gonna collapse any moment! lol.

We are stayin in a nicer place now and spent the day on this private beach yesterday and it was paradise. Clear, blue sea, bob marley playing from a bar, palm trees everywhere, sun shining, it was beautiful!!....until it rained lol.

koh samui crazy times

Been a wicked week in Koh Samui spent drinking and partying mostly!!

Did a 24 hr bender with Amy and Jay and were meant to go on a boat trip but we got there and was at an animal place where they r all chained up n stuff :( so went home to bed.

I was ill one night so chilled while people went out for a meal!!

Been drinking loads of buckets, they are the best!! the weather hasnt been great, been cloudy so only had one proper day in the sun by the pool.

The people at Ark Bar are really cool and friendly and play wicked house music all day and night!! They have little seats set up with lights and candles everywhere on the beach to chill out on. We sit round playing cards, chatting and drinking til we are ready to hit the clubs.

I tried to rescue this lil puppy from a club it was small and fluffy and was shaking with fear so i tried knicking him and walked out the club with him til I got stopped by the crappy guard!! poor lil thing...i tried my best!!

Spend the night getting pissed then finish most nights on the beach chilling to music and waiting for sunrise which is cool!!

Sam and Jay were really cool and loadsa fun so on their last night b4 they hit Oz we dressed up!! me and Aim went as pirates, Jay went as the mask and Sam as an army dude!! was quality but didnt realise it was the kings bday so the clubs were shut!! had fun though!! and our French guys from the jungle turned up in Samui which was cool so spent time with them!!

Our last night we dressed up as army chicks and got battered!!! we slept through our alarm so missed our bus ooops!! but managed to get another thankfully. was the worst day of my life though!! on the boat over some pikey Thai men went through our bags and stole some blokes money and stuff. Dont think they stole anything of mine but still went through my clothes and knickers (gross!!) then we had a 4 hr mini bus journey with a driver from hell. He was a nutter that I swear was gonna kill us i cried the whole way, it was horrible i swear!! then we couldnt find our hotel...just a horrible day.

We arrived in Phuket and went out last night and it is sleaze town big time!!! full of lady boys pole dancing and ping pong shows and dirty old pervy men, ewww!! but we found a wicked club called Tiger Bar and the music is the tits!! whoop whoop!! not gonna stay here too long though, moving onto Phi Phi soon.

In the jungle the mighty jungle....

awimberwa awimberwa awimberwa awimberwa in the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight!!!!! ahhhh what a crazy crazy few days ive had.

Went out clubbing Sat night and met some random Danish lads and got quite drunk woooo then we spent the next 2 days trekking in the jungle and it was the hardest thing ever and the craziest experience!!!
In the space of 2 days we went bamboo rafting, did ALOT of trekking up a steeeeeeeep mountain but through the jungle ofcourse, we swam in a waterfall, we stayed with a tribe in their village where they fed us and we all sat round a campfire singing songs and getting battered in the middle of the jungle, and we rode the elephants!! who then rode each other afterwards... was so funny!!!
In our group was 7 French guys, 2 Austrians, 2 Thai men (our guides) and 2 Irish lads and me and Amy. It was so cool we sat round the campfire drinking the tribes homemade rum or something (it was gross) all cheering each other on and we then had to sing a song from our country so me and Aim sang 'in the jungle the mighty jungle....' and everyone joined in!! was like something from a film heehee. We slept in these huts on bamboo beds ouch, wasnt comfy lol. Didnt come across too many spiders pheeeeeew but was weird getting changed in the jungle and the tribes toilet was like in a pig pen which stank wiv no light and just a pan to stand on and squat in ewwww!!
Was an amazing experience although me and Aim moaned alot about the walking, trust me it was haaaaard! we all went out last night after getting back from our trek and got battttttered big time!!!! wooooooooo!!!
The elephants were cool but scary when they walked down steeeeep hills, thought i was gonna fall off but they were chained up and kept being stabbed with a sharp stick to keep them moving, not so nice. Anyway Ive got a 10hr journey back to stinky Bangkok tonight then flying to Koh Samui for sun sea and sand!! still havent got a tan, not good so gonna be sunbathing for the next few days and chilling I think.
Keep in touch guys!!xxxx
