Island Hopping

Sorry about the delay but we have had a slight problem. Our unbreakable camera that can go underwater, dropped from space & taken to sub degree temperatures has guess what? BROKEN Ahhhhhhh!! but don't despair thank god for our mobile phones!!

After the festivities of Christmas and New Year we decided to get out and about and do some island hopping. First stop Ko Jam ( mega quiet) , then to Phi Phi for some snorkeling (wow amazing place) Krabi (beautiful) and now we are in Koh Samui. Are last stop is Ko Pha-Ngan before we make are way down under!!
Ko Jam , its so untouched you have to be brought ashore by longtail boat.


Here is our bungalow right in the beach.


This is our view from our balcony - not bad hey?


Here is my effort at snorkeling very funny!!


The beaches are the best we have seen

Mike has been soaking up the sunshine!!


Railey the most picturesque place we have been - stunning


A local cooks corn on the Cob on the beach (yummy)


Everyday amazing sunsets

Decided to splash out in Koh Samui (15 pound a night) not bad hey


It come with a pool with a great view of Lamai Bay

You both look fab, I can,t believe your camera broke, can,t you take it somewhere to be repaired. What a shame, but the beaches look amazing, as does the bond girl in the sea.(thats from James) Mike you look hot(thats from me of course) you still have so much more time left. The sun has been out for a hour over last 3 months and its raining again today. No surprize there then. Work is crap and the pressure is stupid, you so did the right thing getting outta there Dan. Miss you both Love Sam and the gang. Emma and Julie say HI aswell.xxx

Hi you lucky two! You said Thailand was beautiful and you obviously love it as you've put off your flight to Australia, makes Cawsand look a little depressing, have the sea but no sun! Natalie has gone to Paris for her birthday, I am working in the B&B as usual! Received your box today all the way from South Africa, only took two months! Can you reserve me one of those bungalows on the beach? As long as I can bring the dogs along.
Danielle, you need to spell check your blog - thought Michael might be writing it as his spelling is bad!
Love you both lots
Mum and Dad Kingxxxxx

P.S. Camera receipt on its way out to you in Australia!

Pictures look lush!! Weather is gopping here today. Almost got blown over when I put the bins out! Just got myself a new car...well not brand new but newer than mine. Tis an orange land rover. Have probably been ripped off but it looks nice. Glad you are having an amazing time. Still very jealous. Off to see the spice girls in Manchester on Thurs. Would rather be watching Take That but it should be fun. You two seem to have done loads already. Take care guys. The Newtons!! xxx
