... the snorkel trip was great fun! <br><br>Halfway during the trip we got a delicious lunch, and later on some more snacks (fruit and shrimps). All this for only about 10 euros. It was pretty well organised. <br><br> Kimm<br>At first it seemed like my new friend Kimm (Canadian) who lives in Bangkok, might come over to spend a few days on Ko Chang together, but in the end work obligations prevented her from being able to make it. She teaches kids at an ...

... storm of the trip. We organised our bus which for a 5 hour trip was a bargain. 240 baht so about 5 euro! We got food and movies and were quite confortable for the 5 hours "express" trip, which of course means stopping and every Tom, Dick and Harry's house along the way. We arrived about 12 30, survived lightning almost hitting the bus and stayed at a nice Thai guest house. We were happy to finally arrive!<br><br>Next morning we got on the ferry, again ...

... the morning busses were sold out, but there was one leaving at midnight, which worked out perfectly. After getting my ticket, I met up with Debra for dinner and to see Fast and Furious 4. After the movie, she dropped me off at the bus station. The bus ended up only taking 4.5 hours. I waited for a little bit at the bus station before catching a songtaw to the ferry. Once on Koh Chang I took a taxi to where I thought I wanted to go ...

... which is crystal clear &amp; very warm. The beach is beautiful with gently shelving sand &amp; palm trees full of coconuts. There are some great bars and restaurants along the beach front with all the tables in the sand. We chose our freshly caught red snapper &amp; enormous shrimps for cooking on the beach BBQ - they made Waitrose's lobster look insignificant. There are ...

... We see the tanned couple again..I guess the lady is an aging porn star or something as after swimming in the falls she whips off her top for her photographer boyfriend revealing huge (surgically enhanced) .and gravity defying breasts ...Charts eyes grow wide and a boyish grin appears on his face...I laugh and lead him back to the boat this time on the tourist track. Over the next three days we sail round the islands , mooring up in ever more ...

... Luc has already decided that he is going to buy lots and lots (and lots and lots) of scratch tickets and win a fortune to buy a place down here for our summer getaway! hahah We would recommend everyone come see the wonders of Thailand....despite the long flight! (Really all you have to do is pop a few gravol, you'll be knocked right out and the flight will be most enjoyable! :) ) We miss you all! Xoxoxoxoxo Meag and Luc

... much for us to see or do there, but it's really just to have us near the airport for the flight to Bkk and Cambodia on Saturday. We will end up with 7-8 hours to kill in Bkk so will try to get into a shopping centre where I will search again for a battery charger for my camera.<br><br><br><br>NOTE: Please excuse typing errors, etc. I am sitting in the dark (or near dark as they only use 20 watt bulbs here), in a mozzie-infested computer room ...

... my walking meditation, I always end up veering toward the right. Note to self: get a front-end alignment when I get back to Baltimore. January 21st 2:11 a.m. - I realize that it's my 39th birthday and I'm doing walking meditation in front of a Buddha image on top of a mountain at a wat in Northern Thailand. It's two in the morning, I'm hungry, tired, and in a lot of pain. This is either really ...

... informed us with the wryest of smiles that it was completely full.<br><br>&#8216;Really, are you absolutely sure?&#8217; we asked<br><br>&#8216;Do you honestly think I&#8217;d be here otherwise?&#8217; he replied.<br><br>&#8216;Good point&#8217; we conceded.<br><br>Have you ever heard a quote which goes something like this:<br><br>"He who laughs last has obviously failed to grasp the severity of the situation"?<br><br>No?<br><br>Well, now you have so stop laughing.<br><br>A few ...
