Home sweet home!

Yes i'm back in hk! and its cold and grey....i'm already missing the lovely sun from Thailand and Loas...Its only gonna get colder from now on.

Last night was really nice. i meet up with some of my friends for dinner and drinks. It felt so good to be back. I didn't realise how much i've missed everyone. It also felt as if i hadn't been away which was kind of strange!

Anyways got a busy week ahead full of fun so i'll keep you posted.....

The Gibbon Experience

Ok...firstly i know your all gonna ask me what the hell the 'Gibbon Experience' is so im gonna tell you....

Basically we treked into the rainforest, stayed in tree houses, Wizzed down 200 metre high zipp lines, got woken up by the noisy Gibbons and ate lots of healthy food! Check out the link for more details.

This was definately one of the best things i have done so far...it was amazing! If you get a chance i reccomend it! My legs have hurt ever since but its a good work out!

The first day we treked for a few hours till we reached the field house of the first treehouse. We were staying in number 5 so we were still a long way off. There they gave use some fruit to munch on and we got to play with 'Jack' a wild monkey (that ate loads of sugar, turned hyper and bite Sam!) and i got to hold a bear. look.....(horrid pic but the bears cute!)

Then it was over to the zipp lines which were so much fun....the first one took me a while to jump tho!

Check out these videos.....(cant do it at the mo..gonna ask ben how!)

The Second day was a hike to the waterfall. Only Me, Sam, Dave and Guy did it as we were told it would be a 6 hour hard up and down hill hike....We did it in two and half! To be fair we didn't stop once and sweated lots - yuck! but it was a good workout and my body is still aching like crazy!

Third day was followed by more hiking and zipping! We got back in the evening and after eatting vegatarian food food the last few days we decide we needed meat and ofcourse beerloa! so we went to a bbq place....

Bali - first impressions

First impressions of Bali (Kuta) were get me out of here. Typical resort with lots of bars and bright lights! wasn't busy tho. I think i would probably enjoy a few nights out here but ten days might be too much! After Ko Chang its the last thing i wanted. Luckily our hotels not on the main street.

This morning my mind has been changed. i went for a walk and I'm now feeling happy about being here. We're staying in the surfer bit of town which has some chilled out bars and Kuta beach is 5 mins away and is amazing! love it!

Tomorrow i start my Rescue Dive Course - its gonna be like bay watch ha ha and then Abbie arrives tomorrow - yey!

Singapore - the night zoo - finally!!!

After hearing a lot about Singapore i didnt think i was going to like the place but infact it was totally the opposite - I love it!! (they've got a topshop - woo hoo! i've obviously lived in hk too long!)

I stayed in little india which i loved. It was definitely my favourite place in Singapore and the curries were amazing. I did lots of touristy things...the sunset river cruise, heritage tour, the ducky boat (nearly as much fun as the Liverpool one!) and of course went to china town as it was Chinese new year. And guess what else.......
Me, Emma and Rachel went to the Night Safari. It was so much fun. I couldn't believe how close you get to the animals. We even started off a craze of having photos on the Zebra (not a real one!)

Only one more thing to do when i return - yep.... the air balloon ride (it was cancelled today coz of wind :( Was very excited about meeting Mrs Lawford at the airport (A.K.A monkey or Rebecca lol!) Only to find out we were in different terminals, divided by a wall :(

Jimmy knows how to treat a woman...(Bangkok)

Well as you all know it was valentines day today. Guess where Jimmy and Scott took me and Laura....bet you can't..... to a Ping Pong show - classy guys ha ha (we love you really Jimmy). To be fair we had said we were intereasted in seeing what it was about. It was different to what i had expected, a bit strange and some wierd tricks going on!

The rest of the evening was spent drinking buckets of cocktail - a good night had by all (right, Laura hee hee!) i finaly hit my pillow at 5.30 am to be rudely awoken by the alarm at 7. Singapore here i come!

Ko Chang

The bus drive to the Thai boarder from Cambodia was lovely. After hearing so many horrific stories about peoples lifes been taken out of their hands whilst doing this journey we were a little worry of what was instore for us. it was a tough decision for us to decide weather to drive or fly. Being brave me and Laura decide to risk our lifes and get the bus ha ha! The road was bumpy but by bumpy i mean like driving on gravel. i don't know where all these rumours came from. If you've been on the buses in Loas this will be no problem! The drive was really interesting we drove through local villages and markets, i really enjoyed it.

Anyways, Ko Chang is lovely. We're staying right on the beach in little bungalows. We spent most our time here topping up our tans and the nights making the most of the mega long happy hours. Buckets are the way forward! Laura has been feeling the effect of them today though ha ha! We going to watch the Thai boxing tonight and tomorrow we're going snorkeling before heading back to Bangkok to meet Jimmy Jimmy!
