... till the worst of it was over &amp; then headed out with our rain ponchos on ( special look!) .<br><br> <br><br>Me fears of being left behind were unfounded as Stella had done little bike riding &amp; had knee surgery a year ago &amp; was very slow &amp; Joseph stayed with her. Head off down single track bike tracks through countryside surrounded by pineapple ...

... private lessons available at the gym as well. For 2000Baht a week, I hired a trainer for private session...making it 3 training sessions a day, bringing it up to 18 sessions for the week. I would love to report that I managed to do all 18 sessions..but I didn't. I trained 16 out of the potential 18 sessions. I missed an afternoon session on Wednesday due to a knee injury suffered from morning sparring, and I also missed the final session of the week ...

Patong Beach is a crazy place, the party zone of Phuket province. It is filled with western delights, including the prices. This place is a mini city paradise, where my budget has increased ten fold. The best thing about Patong is its size. It is small enough that you dont have to travel very far to get to those picture perfect postcard style beaches, although the prices go up even higher. I will say that I was ...

Kot mnogi veste je Tajska najpriljubljenejsa destinacija na svetu za turiste, ki iscejo ali ljubezen ali zgolj mesene uzitke. Kot nama je pogovoru navrgel starejsi kanadski ucitelj, ki ze 14 let poucuje po razlicnih koncih Azije, so Tajci najprijaznejsi ljudje, kar jih denar lahko kupi. In dejansko se je s tem tezko ne strinjati. Vsaj na tem otoku namrec je vecina domacinov vse prej kot veselega razpolozenja, lahko bi rekli kar, da so zagrenjeni, vse ...

... made the trip all the way here so visit we would....via a trip to Surit Tani via ferry-bus-bus-bus cafe-bus-cafe-ferry-bus. More on that later. Yep Phi Phi has redeveloped really quickly and unsympathetically and will never recover to be the jewel that it was before tourism hit it. However it is still possible to have a chilled time here if you steer clear of the centre all the time. Hats off to them all though for their determination to get their lives back on track.

... of minutes, which was pretty nerve wracking. I also had to overcome some equipment failure 20m underwater, which made for an "exciting" dive. Thank goodness that the Sport Chalet instructors were so strict! Now that I've developed a bulletproof process to counter The Mosquito, all my limbs and face are covered with coral rash - so I hope. (The Thai girl next to me at the internet cafe good-naturedly asked if I recently engaged in a muay thai match ...

... you absolutely must walk into their stall to see the huge selection of trinkets, statues and t-shirts that are the same ones that you've seen in every other hawker stall on the street. Phuket was one of the islands I'd heard the most about before coming to Thailand. The photos I'd seen of it made it seem like a resort island town that was tranquil, tropical and luxurious. Granted I was staying at a budget hotel ...

... Okay' I thought to myself 'I've got this under control. I see where they made the mistake. This is fixable.' "Oh, I understand. I was never actually convicted of a felony, I'm still awaiting trial." I said quite innocently, if not naively. "Well that amounts to the same thing I'm afraid." I tried to explain to her the simple yet elegant idea of the Constitution of the United States. The part where they go over the whole innocent until ...

... or maybe they just fell off my head..?) Thankfully they didn't fly off the dock into the water because that would have SUCKED. No, instead one of the lenses just popped out. So I went about the rest of the afternoon with only one lens in my sunglasses which was really kind of funny. When we rejoined the others, Jean recommended checking with The Other Warren as it would seem that he possessed the power to fix things like sunglasses (something of a Bob Villa at sea). So we stopped ...
