Well this has been a adventure in itself. We started at 11:00, it was great, I was able to talk with Kyle and hear about how the ref'ing cost the flames the game. It is now 3 o'clock, we have stopped for lunch and spent about 300 baht by the time this is all done. This internet sight is slow at downloading pictures and a lot of internet places have too many computers on crapy networks. So in saying all that, we love posting our pictures to show everyone and will continue posting, we just want you all to know the hardship we endure for your love. So, we leave tonight on a night boat and bus for Phuket, Thailands third largest city (it is an island aswell.) We have more pictures to post, but this site is not allowing them..it just keeps freezing. Sign up for facebook as we may post more there.
Our last "home" was amazing. It was our third place in as many nights :0 We found the place on our scooter and were booked in the next day. It was located in Shark Bay. We didn't think much of the name and spent a good portion of an afternoon snorkeling around in the bay. It was amaznig, schools of fish everywhere. All sorts of types aswell. Later that day we were talking with a German bloke and he said that his dive instructor tells people to come here if they want to see sharks, only two meters long though as this was a nursing area for mothers!!!! We weren't afraid and went back into the water to look some more, needless to say we didn't see any. They take boat loads of people there to do some snorkeling and we had the place as our frontdoor step. Mornings were amznig there, the tide came almost up to our raised bungalows deck. It was the first time we were woken up to something other then birds or traffic!! Let me tell you, birds here celebrate the rising and setting of the sun, LOUD too. Koh Tao has been my favorite island that we have visited, its small and the tourist here are all about the diving, some of the best in the world. Most dive places say is an almost 98 percent gaurentee that you will see a whale shark on your dive. We have heard otherwise from the divers themselves. Not a one. But the water is clear and full of life. We did not dive, decieded to save it for Bali, if we make there to celebrate the finale of our trip!
I'll walk you through the pictures..
The first one, we ate! It was delicious. The sea life is much more colorful then Canadian sea life.
~Kelly with the flowers was at our last place. Our bunglow was at the bottum of the cliff and the street to leave from was at the top. The stairs we built out of cement and all varied in height. It was fun!!! kinda, not really!
~The one of me on the "motorbike" was the road to get to our resort.
~The sign, well it was funny and outside of our first place. Our first place was nice, really nice, so nice in fact that a rat or mouse loved our bathroom and felt the need to break in three times in one night to poo everywhere! We left in the morning.
~The one that looks smoggy, its rain. We were in Koh Pah-ngan and went to see the other side of the island when we got locked into a major storm. The locals say global warming is really screwnig things up. Its dry season now and should be for the next couple months, but its has rained hard at least once a day.
~Then of course, greetings from us to you. There aren't much North Americans here, most are english, french and german. The Germans seem to be the nicest.
~A sunset picture was a resturaunt in Koh- Pgang, great bananna shake, but it was weird, once the sun went down. A giant flight of moth type ant creatures laid attack on everyone on the beach.
~Kelly on the beach, not sure where, but it was beautiful, cause shes in it..:)
~ Me with the Rottie, it was our "five star resort" He was huge and just slept everywhere
~ Then some hunk on the beach, I give permission to download this pic and use as your screensaver
~ Me at our fun BBQ, it was cheap. We had no clue how to do it, but we managed to fill our bellies for cheap
~ The next four were at a "Zoo" in Koh Samui. It was were we fed the Turtles and saw Tigers jump through hoops. I'm saddend by all the imprisioned animals here, but the german guy said that it is a way to preserve them as their habbitat is being taken over. If you come here though, please do not take an elephant safari . Massive elephants are kept on a foot long chain in the sun until you arrive to jump on there back. There is other ways to interact with elephants. We'll keep you posted on how when we reach Chaing Mai.
~ Then me and Kelly at a "Waterfall" its our second time we reach one, and let me tell you, bring your trunks cause these ones are gushing!! Dry season still is in affect..
~ Then Kelly with the scooter/motorbike (they call them motorbikes here, haha) We hated this one, it was a double flat tire P.O.S
Time to go, we'll post more soonish! Hopefully more photos. We have better ones. Hope you all are doing well and keep your hopes and prayers going strong for ... the FLAMES. Stupid Canucks, stupid Louongo. HAHA, I do miss hockey, its all "Football" here, everywhere!
