Koh Phangan

I have finally arrived in Kho Phangan, and let me tell you, it's awesome!! If you know anything about this place you have a preconceived notion of what it is like here. And it really is all that and more. After a full day of travel we arrived late in the evening, and it feels great to be on our own. Although travels doesn't go nearly as smooth as when you have a tour guide doing it for you. All a part of the travel, I know. It was a hot, hectic, confusing, stressful and rewarding day. We didn't have a place to stay when we arrived. We gambled and ended up getting a cute bungalow right by the beach, which is what we were looking for. There will be a Full Moon party on the 16th of August and it's on the beach where we are staying, perfect! This place really is great. Full of young backpackers, here to have a good time, relax and enjoy themselves. We haven't done much, it's not that kinda place. Di got a bamboo tattoo, that was cool. We've watched a few movies in the local pubs, which I really enjoy. The beach is absolutely crazy at night. It's just been a blast. And I am enjoying these few days of doing nothing, cause Carmen and I are off to Vietnam and Cambodia on the 18th and for 20 days it will be hectic and busy. But it's good, we are looking forward to seeing that part of Southeast Asia. Looking forward to taking part in Kho Phangan's biggest party, the Full Moon. Not sure what to expect, but if the beach was as crazy as it was the other night then I can only imagine how wild it will be on the 16th.

I've been on the computer so much lately trying to organize the last part of Southeast Asia...so when we take off to Vietnam I am giving this computer a break!!!!

Miss you all so much!
