Not updated much due to the fact that we can’t get any free wifi access, but managed to get some now.

Not got any pictures in Oz yet because we’ve been just enjoying it too much. As soon as we get sone pictures they will be on.

Looking for jobs at the moment. Just traveled from Surfers Paradise to Brisbane where hopefully there will be more work.

Phi Phi Island

Not updated in a few days because lack of free WiFi. Well for the past 3 days we have been on the Phi Phi island at the port where it’s like 5 minitues walk from the port to the beach across the island. Very small place but there is enough people there and a lot going on. We did a beach party 2 days ago whilst still with a monster hangover from the night before. We just basically chilled out having BBQ and playing beach games, the after a full day in the sun we fell asleep at the room, had a long enough sleep.

Yesterday we went on a beach hopping trip where we went to the Monkey beach there was enough monkeys eating bananas lol. The snorkoling in a very nice area, this was one of my highlights of the trip, the fish an things you see are Amazing! Something everyone should do at least once. Then past a few other sly beaches and on to the legendary Maya Bay ‘The Beach’ it didn’t feel like anything special when u get there until you get on the beach and look aroun you, the sand was white and the water was soo clear.

Were on a boat at the moment to Krabi in Thailand and not too sure where we are off now maby Koh Panyang or back to Phi Pho because we have been offered a job and tbh I didn’t want o leave lol. But we have flights to Auz on 20th Feb so we can’t forget that.

We met some sweedish girls on this island and they speak better English than me & I no know how to say your dad smells like meatballs in Sweedish. Also a pic of the beach party at night here which is mental all neon everywhere and seeshars lol.

Enjoy the pictures. Rick x

Well since we got in Phuket we have moved on to the west side in Patong where they have a very nice beach, it’s a bit more touristy here were at night people at literally throwing random exotic drugged up animals on to your shoulders.

We went for a cheeky beer last night and tbh I think I have already seen too many lady boys… Everyone is very friendly here and even more if they can get money off you.

The plan now is were off to Phi Phi island tomorow, proberly. Oh and we have booked flights to Australia for 21sy Feb mainly that date because we or them for £150… Pictures below x

(p.s. We rented a moped for 3 days £4, sorry mum)

Always on The Move

Quite a long blog update…

Well we left Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) Friday at 8am for an 8 hour coach journey to Kuala Perlis, which to be honest we didnt know what going on at this place just knew that it as close to Langkowi which is an island off Malaysia and we though we would go there for a few days. After we got talking to some (miserable) French guy on our coach he said that the beaches were crap you cant go on because they have worms that get under your skin etc etc… Fuck That! Change of plan

We then decided to just go to Kuala Perlis and chill, but upon arrival it was a shit hole little port village so we got talking to some locals and they pointed up to the docks where they said we can get a boat (literally the smallest oldest thing youve ever seen) to Thailand for 200 TBH which is about 4 GBP… Sound!

We jumped on then i started to fear death as the man that was taking us had no teeth, scary as hell and some other randome guy that just kept staring. Just a not this seemed like proberly the most illegal way to be immigrated into Thailand. We didnt moan.

We got there and some MAD guy tried getting us back on a boat to Kuala Perlis as he didnt understand what we were trying to say. We got a coach finally which tbh i think we were ripped off on. Which was another 8 hour Journey. We had to wait at some random bus station for an hour, which was deserted appart from a woman cleaning her kids with a hose pipe.

Worst journey ever, trying to sleep and music blasting (Asian Mad Stuff, sure it was Thai Rock) and Neon Lights, yeh brill… Got there and again dropped off in a random place where we dont know were we are. After walking for 5min we asked some guy is there any hotels etc. He blagged and told us jump on his scooter, bith of us lol. *End of the story we got a room which is nice.

We went to Pantong today which is where 1 of the beaches are and its just unreal! the water is just strangely warm when you get in. We ended up renting a Scooter for 2 days which is about 4GBP each. Were going to go over to Pantong tomorow and either stay in the hostel there to the On On Hotel in Phuket town which is where the film the beach was filmed on the scene with daffy. Well that done, pictures Below.

This is a joke now the heat is unbearable… 35 degrees and only dropping to 30 degrees at night. Just booked our coach tickets to Langkowi for tomorow morning which should be good apart from the fact it’s a 7hr journey, then we have to get a ferry to the island.

Malaysia Tourist Center is a bloody god send though, mainly because there is air con but also very helpfull. Pictures below of our 5 star room ;) Until tomorow peace out x
