... you f*cks", but the arms only reported back "F*ck you man, we can't. You should have eaten more today, you beach-lazing knob", and I watched my hands turn into those sh*te cranes you get on the UK seaside - the ones that are supposed to pick up trinkets that weigh 9 tons, but couldn't pick up a lump of air without falling open. I slipped and dangled, gasping for more air. <br>To my credit, I tried three more times (with big breaks between of course), but the arms just ...

... he was even climbing with no shoes on! Then it was our go, what an amzing rush. Half way up the first climb I stopped to survey the scene, I was half way up a cliff face and had the most amazing view over the bay. We both had the most amazing time, but it was hard going. After about 4 solid hours we were very tired, in need of a shower and a good pad thai at our favourite restaurant on the island.<br> Leaving the ...

... almost 11am! Having woken up at or before dawn at least half the mornings in Africa it was such a treat to not have any agenda and to be sleeping in a soft comfortable bed. Ironically I woke up with a sore back. I guess I couldn&#8217;t take all the sudden comfort.<br><br>After a nice morning of coffee, orange juice, and an oatmeal breakfast we headed down to the pool. The grounds here are gorgeous, the infinity pool overlooks an expanse of grass ...

... the customary round of drinks in the bar afterwards. WEDNESDAY 08 APRIL 2009 - Caroline's birthday, so Julie kindly treated the ladies to a thai massage. It was very good - our bodies were kneaded, stretched, pushed and pummelled. Our legs reached heights that we didn't know were possible! In the evening we had a slap-up meal at the Cliff Restaurant. We sat outside, high up on a mountainside looking ...

... room, and Andrea had about 500 euro taken from her room (all in Bangkok) on what we think was the same day. The moral of the story is to trust nobody abroad, and carry your money where it's safe and out of the reach of greedy hands. A costly lesson for all. After this, we travelled again to Vietnam where we spent a fun filled week. Andrea's culture shock was only just beginning to wear off by the time she was ready to go home!

... on Bamboo Island (the heart shaped island): fantastic white sands, clean, clear waters and coral reefs... Walking back to the boat, Sean hits his foot on a rock a tears his toe nail. A bit is hanging off the toe. I think I am going to faint. The crew has some betadine to put on and a plaster for the time being.(ca y est, on utilisé la trousse de secours Maman!) <br><br><br><br>03/04/09: We originally wanted to do some kayaking but ...

... massage. This was about the only place I have felt safe going for a massage without getting any added extras! It was awesome though! I then lay on the beach a bit and bought myself a couple of cheapo T-shirts. The clothes here are so cheap!! I was just walking down the road and bumped into another three of the guys from Phi Phi who had decided to stop of in Ao Nong. It's really bizarre how you bump into people so much! We then all wnet for some food and beers and I got an early ...

... the next few days for everything from coconut juice to fried chicken to a variety of different desserts... to make our eating opportunities even better, one of the locals told us about a food festival going on at the other end of town... so we hopped on our rented motorbike and went to a pretty good sized food festival.. the food selection was not only vast, but the flavors and sights were pretty amazing as well... we splurged a bit ...

... to go to sunbathe having paid for half a day. We can see why with our arms aching but we are still up for the second half of the day. Heading towards our second climbing site we negotiate a walkway through the limestone clifs with stalagtites and stalagmites all around with the backdrop of the clear blue sky. We also walk along a stunning beach on our way, our decision to move on the following day instantly changed by the prospect of spending the day there the following day ...

... some local caves and then find something else to do to kill some time. <br><br>It's nice being able to relax after moving on every day for so many days, it's just a shame that the weather is so **** at the moment. We have everything crossed that the clouds clear tomorrow for our rearranged boat ride, so fingers crossed! ;) <br><br>With hindsight it ...
