Oh no!

Well the weather has taken a turn for the worse and it seems that due to a typhoon en route to koh phangan (the home of the infamous full moon party, that takes place tomorrow on the 26th) has cut off all transport connections from the island we are on at the mo. That means no full moon party and more koh tao - but with nothing to do..

Anyhoo have completed the diving course and now am a PADI "Open Water" diver. It's good fun and I'd recommend it to anyone coming out here (Norm..) Dive with Crystal Dive and get a guy called Dave as your instructor and you'll have fun. The guy's non-stop!

Also have hired some motorbikes and have learnt to ride the bad boys - Little Honda Sonics.. might get one when I get home. Told the dude we didn't have a clue what we were doing. He just laughed and handed us the keys to a couple of his shiny new bikes.

gotta go!

see ya later y'all

Shame about the weather, it's not bad here right now!! As for the bikes... i can only imagine, but probably vividly well if your car driving is anything to go by! I came home the other day to find a asdl router on my desk. I've spent most of the time since downloading anything and everything, does it ever get boring?

But with bad weather, you wouldn't be able to see the full moon anyway.... And nothing to do equals a fine time to start your own party.
Is the Honda Sonic a Thailand cover for Honda Blackbird? Or Honda Fireblade? They're only little bikes! And is it as comfortable as the Gold Wing? Or am I getting out of touch with fashion, here?
The x-ray news for Oz is good - they are just checking, so you'll be there and sorted in no time.
Much impressed with the adventure you're having - only slightly green!
Keep on enjoying it. See ya!

Hi Alex...got your parcel thanks, how did that get through customs?..everyone here thinks you are sending your washing home!...nothing changes!. Hope the weather has improved. The diving sounds great out there, much better than Brockworth Pool. Mum is at Annes for a few days so you could say I'm on holiday as well.Its friday today, that means BMI with Peter..do you remeber a good old fashioned english pint? This time I gotta go. keep on enjoying...Dad

hola alex! glad to hear u got the diving done! very jealous tho!i only have 3 more weeks left in spain, then can get back to the boarding and diving as well! tho my dad wants me to get a 'real' job, where's the fun in that?? much more fun to Dive Master it a bit longer! shame the weather got bad, but those things move over pretty quick and if they're not that strong (unlike Ivan!) they are quite cool, tho churn up all the water and make the vis crap for diving, well, bye for now! chops xx
