Wow its been two weeks!

Sorry to anyone who may have gone to check where i was , what i was doing for the last two weeks!

Mea Culpa

In my defense i have been off the beaten path somewhat and spent one week in thong pan noi, in a small bungalow swimming and reading (yes it is a busy life)

Before it all sounds too much like luxury the picture below will help put my comfort in context





I then moved to an island called Koh Ma, it is connected by a thin sand bar during low tide and this becomes flooded as the tide turns, leaving you no option but to wade across in the dark (kinda exciting as the waves hit you from two directions at once!






Yes here i am soaked and feeling very pleased with myself as i get across the sand bar last nite

I have made friends with a couple of travellers (an English guy named Martin and his Korean partner Gina) We have spent the last week or so moving about the island and it has been fun sharing some of the cool things you do each day with someone.

I am leaving the island on the 4th and will be doing a visa run to Myanmar (burma) because my visa is only valid for 30 days so i will get an exit/entrance stamp then im off!


My next update will be as i go to Myanmar and you will then find out if im going to Laos or Cambodia!


Frankly im not sure yet myself.

PS This is one of the two spiders i had as bed mates last nite (they are not only big! they jump sideways almost 20 cm really fast! shudder
