MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone we hope you all had a fab Christmas Eve and we bet a few of you are a little worse for wear! Well you won't beleive it Santa Claus didn't forget me this year. Mike secretly snook off on the scooter while I was cathing some rays and I had a few presents, he is a sweetie hey!

The present were some Cd's and the number one present, a bat and ball, come on!! Well we had a great day on the beach and a really lovely Thai meal, no turkey here but lots of spice!!! For New Years Eve we are going to splash out and go a lovely tapas restaurant 'The Red Snapper' that has a real cheeseboard yum! yum! and olives and much much more. Then we are heading down to the beach for a big PARTY with fireworks and plenty of alchol with our fellow travellers - should be fab! It will be over here by the time you just get started (7 in the morning) at 5pm your time we will be singing and welcoming the arrival of 2008. May all of you have an amazing night and hope you all have a wonderful 2008

Christmas in Ko Lanta

After spending a few days in Phuket, we have arrived in Paradise!! The island is relatively untouched with a few beach bars and a very laid back vibe and we have decided to spend Christmas here. We have met some friends and we are enjoying the glorious sunshine, cooling down in the blue sea and getting into island life. Mike is also quite pleased to have a beer & football buddy!!

Here is our view everyday - not bad hey?!

Most days are spent chilling out on the stunning beach, near to a wicked bar, drinking mango shakes, eating great food and listening to the mellow tunes. Mike and Ben have also started a headers competition, check out the hats!

Don’t be fooled by thinking every day we are just laying on the beach, ohh no. We have hired a wicked pink scooter and have had a few road trips!! Again Mike has taken on the driver’s role. Needless to say we have ended up on a beach but hey we are out exploring this magical island!!

You would be wrong to think the upcoming festivities have escaped the island. Here you can see the beautiful Christmas tree on the beach and also we have managed to buy a couple of hats to get into the spirit of things. Not sure what we will be doing on the 25th but as you have probably guessed it will more than likely involve lying on the beach!! However we would love to pop home and just smell those turkeys’s cooking and watch those festive films. What’s on this year any token James Bond or a classic like Oliver?!

Have a great Christmas Eve everybody and we hope Santa Claus brings you everything you hoped for. Make sure you have a few drinks for us, miss you all xxx Ho Ho Ho

Festive greetings from Thailand

I bet you are all on count down to December 25th and looking forward to what Santa brings, we on the other hand still can't quite grasp that Christmas is only 11 days away. We have seen the trees in the malls and all the decorations and lights but it just doesn't seem right that we haven't put our tree up or turned on the heating!! We have made our first stop in Thailand , Bangkok.

As you can see we visited the Grand Palace, and some other temples they were all really cool we even had to wear some crazy clothes, Mike had some nice long pants and I had a fab skirt very sexy -not.

We managed to get away from all the noise and stinking pollution one evening when we visited the Bayok Tower. We took the lift to the 84th floor where we had an amazing views of the city and a few drinks, it was really cool one of the highlights of our stay. Lin I would love you to bring out some digestives when you visit Oz I may have a small list for you(He He) can't wait to see you, Ian & Arron. Also CONGRATULATIONS to Nat & James, Ry you are so under pressure now Ha! Ha! Next stop Phuket for some beach time !!!

Mike's 28th Birthday

Thankyou for all my birthday messages and for the e cards I recieved. Cowhead you fool the reason I didn't get your card or money is we are still in Malaysia you muppet!! but I appreciate the thought. As you can see at breakfast I was greeted with an embarrising rendition of 'Happy Birthday' from everybody which included a lovely chocolate cake also check out my flower in my hair.Danielle made me wear the flower until lunchtime and insisted it was part of the birthday celebrations!!

Along with chilling on the beach I also took a jet ski for a spin, then Danielle surprized me with a romantic candlelit dinner on the beach. All in all I couldn't of asked for a better 28th. We are now in Penang and you will all be happy to know we have had a couple of days of rain!! We are heading to Bangkok on 10th December to check out the city and try and find somewhere to celebrate the festivities on the 25th. Danielle is really missing digestive biscuits by the way - she is so strange!!! as you probably guessed from the comments on the blog.

Beach Time

After our hectic adventures we have finally hit the beach, plenty of sun, sun & more sun. First stop, we on the island of Langkawi , beautiful powder white sand, blue sea and of course lots of palm trees, paradise( by the way today over 30C).


We did hire a car for a day to check out the island (very small). We took a cable car ride to the top of the jungle where you can see Thailand but then headed straight back down to the beach. We are officially beach bums and we are loving every minute of it. However when we feel that this lifestyle is getting too much for us and we feel a wee bit tired we have a little siesta but then head straight back to the beach. As you can probably imagine life is quite stressful - not!!

Can you spot Dan?

Our hotel is called Sunset Beach and you can see why,every evening we have been watching the sun go down before making the most important decision of the day-where to have dinner!! Thanks for everybodys comments on the blog and emails so far. They really do make our days and we do miss you all. Its Mike's birthday tomorrow and we plan to do the same but also hire some jet skis and maybe go island hopping. I hope this warms you all up and helps you to get over the winter blues
