We shared a few beers and caught up with stories whilst playing with her new dog JD and laughing our ass off at a book she had called "Our dumb planet" - highly recommended!We left for Bris vegas airport in the morn ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=591795&go=joeandhan08 Wed, 6 May 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=584645&go=joeandhan08 Well this is almost it folks! Tomorow we fly to Airlie Beach Australia to spend a few weeks with Clairebear (Hannahs Sister) whilst we start applying for jobs in New Zeakand and doing research on houses and areas etc, so i guess that means that today is our last full day 'on holiday'! We dont fly till late tomorrow and have a night in Brisbane, hopefully meeting up with our friend Bex who we met i... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=584645&go=joeandhan08 Sun, 3 May 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=584643&go=joeandhan08 OWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! Hannah wakes up with a splitting headache and a bit more bowl hugging fun! HAd to take the malaria tablet we missed last night too, which just added to the sickness!Joe watched TV whilst he let Hannah sleep it off, although I dont think we was without problems and he appeared to have a bit of a headache too. At 2pm we finally surfaced and were pleased to see that it was a miserabl... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=584643&go=joeandhan08 Sat, 2 May 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=584640&go=joeandhan08 After a beautiful night under the AC in our room we woke up cool and ready for a slap up brekky that comes included in the price at the old Phuket Island View hotel. Over brekky we planned our shopping assault on the Patong beach establishments and prepared to get some birthday pressies to send over to Lynne and the boys in Barca. After brekky we had a look in an optician up the road and after a q... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=584640&go=joeandhan08 Fri, 1 May 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=584639&go=joeandhan08 This morning we had our final cup of coffee onboard and motored round to Phuket Island. No problems until we reached the shallow channel into the marina which is only marked from the sea by a few sticks. We did exactly as we were told, but even with an unusually high tide Clive was watching the depth meter like a hawk. Things got pretty hairy when the depth read 0.0m. We all heald our breath and f... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=584639&go=joeandhan08 Thu, 30 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=584631&go=joeandhan08 We all got up at a reasonable time this morning to head ashore to the swanky resort (barring the SCG cement bunch - crazy cats) for brekkie and for H and J to update the blog, with the antics of the last few days. When we got to breakfast though the waiter informed us it was 500baht each, (10 quid) and Hannah in her infinite tite-ness asked him to repeat himself 3 times. Once it was made clear tha... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=584631&go=joeandhan08 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=583561&go=joeandhan08 An early ish start for the crew of Sailom (barr Han who slept some more!) as we motored round the Railey Headland to Railey beach proper. At the other side we had a brekkie on board of honey on toast and a yogurt before boarding the dingy to get to Tham Phra Nang beach, which although is on the Railey headland is quite hard to get to by land. At the beach we were chuffed to see some dramatic limes... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=583561&go=joeandhan08 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=583555&go=joeandhan08 C, C and Joe went ashore in the morning to grab some breakfast and for Joe to go on the internet to enquire about that job, whilst Hannah stayed on board - still having some after effects from the eggs yesterday! They brought back some lovely pastries (cinnamon not sticky bun! private joke!) and we set off about 11am for an island (Ko Mai Phai) quite close to Phi Phi, which we had heard has a nice... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=583555&go=joeandhan08 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=582904&go=joeandhan08 9.30am we managed today, before being so over whelmed by the heat we had to crawl out of bed and fall into the sea to cool off - its a hard life! Ashore to Phi Phi for a full English Breakfast - how cultured of us! It was great, but a word of warning to everyone, Thail eggs, doesnt matter how they are cooked - you will have to do the 'fast trot' within minutes! Still, we did it, and it was worth i... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=582904&go=joeandhan08 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT
