Ausa

This is our friend Ausa, she and Johnny will be getting married soon. I have already given her a wedding present. She is delighted, Johnny says he doesnt want it. I cant understand it, looking a gift cat in the mouth. How ungrateful.

TAXMAN

Why oh why is the Inland Revenue sending me letters to say I will have to fill out a Self Assessment Tax form when I Do Not live in the country and I DO NOT earn any money. Any ideas regarding these idiots who are wasting tax payers money?

Song Kran

Thai New Year was again WET. Had a real good time at Mr Cooks office. I enjoyed the water fights with guns and the hose pipes, but I think the fireman took it a bit far. You always get one or two that don't know where to draw the line!!!

Third island

On our last stop we had lunch. We also saw this unnerving signpost!!!! More unnerving Dave doing his impression of James Bond.

3 Islands

The next day we had a boat trip around 3 islands, snorkelling swimming and eating. The 1st island was a stop just to snorkel or for the fit a swim round it. Dave did, not me. Our 2nd island was Emerald Cave. We swam through a very dark cave and emerged into a small hidden lagoon in the centre of the island. We were all expecting dinosaurs to be aroaming.

Koh Ngai

After a twelve hour very uncomfortable bus journey we arrived in Trang, just one hour mini-bus ride to the port and another hour by boat, and we were there. Paradise. Hotel rooms were good(see pic), outside bathroom though, mossies, cockroaches the odd ant. But nevermind. The food was to die for.

Weather

The weather seems to be back to normal, very hot and humid. The prfect weather for our old bones.
