TATTOOS....DEPRESSION....24 HOURS LEFT!

Yesterday I decided to get a tattoo to mark the start of my travels and remind me of Thailand.
I decided that getting THAILAND2007 written in Thai on my back was a bit tacky so I sat for 2 hours at the pool with pen and paper doodling.After burning my brain out I finally came up with a GREAT idea!Eureka!
I have got the travel bug and am definitely going to travel when I have saved up so I thought- a bug.Not just any old bug.A TRAVEL BUG.Its like a little lady bird and instead of spots i drew little hearts.In the head of the bug I drew the letter T but in Thai, which stands for TRAVEL BUG AND THAILAND how cool is that!I wanted to get it somewhere not so obvious so I thought my foot.I am going to be travelling on my feet arnt I?The tattooist said he could do it but warned where I wanted it is the most painful place to tattoo.After a few toilet trips I went and sat in the chair.20 Min's of pain and it was over and looked just as I imagined it.
I got up this morning and it just didn't look right.From afar it looked like a cockroach.So I went back and got him to infill the bug bright red.Now it looks Perfect!I love it.I will never regret it and the position it's in I can wear high heels and you cant see it.I am so glad I got it done.It's a bit sore but it was worth the pain.
One of the boys we met is staying to teach English and there are lots of jobs.I really want to.But I cannot let Nicky and Lorraine down.Plus I want to save up money.So no.I don't want to.Well I do.Oh I don't want to come home!
Everybody you are going to see the new me.
Nick and Lorraine:I know I work hard but I am gonna work XTRA hard.No hangovers at work anymore.I am going to write new menus,do cool specials and earn you a fortune.I am gonna come back and really get back into my job because at the end of the next months it will all be worth it.I promise.Then me and Lisa will make more tips!I will get to save quicker and maybe Ill get a bonus when I leave!!-joke xx
To all my drinking buddies:No more me going home early.I can now drink anyone of you under the table as long as I stay on vodka red bull and NO hangovers.They just don't exist anymore.
And to everybody I know: I don't give a toss anymore about anybody except ME.I am going to look after Number1 and to hell with what anybody thinks about me or anything I do or anything I say.From now on my life is going to be worry free,stress free and care free.I am going to do what I want, when I want, how I want.So when you all see me walking through the village naked with a Moroccan husband and a skin head just remember I don't care what anyone thinks!ha ha
No really,on a serious note I think I have finally grew up.But in a good way.I am still going to be the class clown but I know what I want from my life and what I want to do with it.
Next time I log in I will be at Dubai airport waiting 6 hours for my connecting flight so I will add the final lot of my photographs and my last blog will be from London.
THE END IS NEAR.

throw away camera pics from our drunken nights!

Back to Bangkok

Went for our last supper to a traditional thai bamboo curry hut.It was a little hut on sticks in a forest.The floor was like floorboards with gaps in between.There were cushions on the floor and no seats.The food was absolutely fantastic and was the best meal we have eaten the full trip.Plus the cheapest, for 6 meals and side orders and drinks it came to about 15 quid.
The bill arrived I pull out my money to pay and my bank card falls out my purse,down the crack in the floorboard to the forest floor below-cosmic.
I then have to find a gap in the bamboo wall below,climb through grass and muddy water and search the stream/floor/grass/muddy pit.After 5 min of feeling about in what smelt like a Sest pit I find my card.Now you may think I am ecstatic at this point-I am.Until I get upstairs into the light and realise it was actually a phone card and not my bankcard!Great...........
We then head to get a taxi....we are trying to barter the taxi man's price down when some random french guy appears asking us would we do this in our country!He starts having a go and we tell him t f-off back to France.He then starts speaking french and shouting.I then calmy told him to stop taking the piss as I can speak french, whilst the boys continue to rant and rave.He says "go on then...show me your f-in french!"I calmy replied "mange tout Rodney."
At this point we all just laughed at him and he left.Well, you had to be there....It was funny at the time.
So I got on the boat, to get to the taxi ,to get on the night train.And after 9 hours in the comfiest bed ever-REALLY it was the best-I have arrived in Bangkok.
I have checked in to a hotel with a pool as there is no beach here.Everybody who we have met along the way is here, or getting here tomorrow so it's like the final get together.I am going to do shopping today....have a quiet one tonight and then tomorrow MY LAST AND FINAL DAY get hammered -as is everybody else.
I am going to try and not get upset and enjoy the 72 hours I have left......But it's gonna be hard.I dread leaving.And I am definitely getting a tattoo today to remind me of one of the best months of my entire life.Las Vegas was top of my destinations list.I said nowhere on earth would beat that place.Well I eat my words.Thailand is now top of my list and will definitely stay top forever.

The Jungle party!

Las night we decided to all get drunk at the resort bar and then go to 'The Jungle Party'.
Everbody at our resort was going and reccomended it so we decided it was a 'must'.
The boys decides to leave without me so I head there with a group of random drunks.
The drunken taxi driver finally gets us to our destination and we arrive at a 3 floor club in the middle of a forest.
I find the boys who are all busting their grooves on the dance floor and get a drink.Some random cockney offers me a tablet and I refuse.Not understanding no the first time this complete asshole keeps pestering me until I tell him very politely to 'f-off'!
I goes the toilet and from that moment on everything is a complete blur.Well, not even a blur I cannot remember anything for what must have been 5 hours.That idiot definately spiked me.Why?He couldve sold it to somebody instead of giving me an unwanted freebie!!!
I was awoken by the thai barman from our hotel.I was outside the club-I did'nt know Id even left-out cold on the forest floor in shrubbery.He got me some water put me on the back of hs motorbike and took me back to the resort.When we got back he said to watch my drinks in future I was the 3rd girl he had took home that night.And apparantley it happens all the time it's just a bit of fun!Fun?
On arrival the boys are all tucked up in bed.I woke them all up and give them a lecture about looking after your friends whilst out in a mad club with knobheads everywhere.......
I have awoken this morning feeling awful.My eyes look like I have been sniffing glue,my head feels like a weight and the immodium is not working!I had 30 min to pack and get myself ready for this stupid 12 hour journey to Bangkok.
So here I am.SitTng in another stupid port waiting for a ferry to take me to
Chumphon.Then I get a taxi to another port and then I get the night train-which apparantley has a disco!But I will not be partying tonight the way I feel.
Hopefully that will never ever happen to me again.And from now on I will be more careful.I just hope to god I see that idiot in the next few days.Well I am going to get my boat and if it does'nt sink or I don't die along the way I will be signing in tomorrow from Bangkok!

Check out my Slide Show!

5 days left.........

Its coming to the last week and I just want to cry.
Well, I have cried quite a few times.Last night in particular I cried.But that maybe due to the fact we played the maddest drinking game ever.Oh it is the best.
A little note to 'the firm':We will be playing this when I come back.Lisa,I think u Will have to observe a few games before U get the gist.It took me a little while.
Every1 some point in the game gets to make a rule.The first rule Moysley decides to make took the biscuit.Every time the 'scouse mouse' spoke she had to have a drink.As U can imagine I was a complete mess.The more I drank the more I forgot I was not allowed to speak.And the more I forgot the more I spoke.By the time we got to the club I was hammered.A little sleep on the beach beds revived me and I was up for round two..and three ands four.I awoke this morning with cuts on both my knees,fully clothed and for the 25th time NO SHOES.All of us must be on our 30th pair of flip flops.They're only 50p but I am getting fed up of getting up and buying shoes instead of breakfast!

The last few weeks have been excellent.It has just been organised kayos.
I have met so many good friends who I will definitely keep in touch with.People who I have only known for a week but it feels like a lifetime.
The boys have been like my personal travel agents the whole trip.I don't know what I would ve done if it wernt for them.They have booked every ticket,boat,bus,train and everything.Yes, they may be a little immature....scared of insects and dogs but they can organise a backpacking trip in Thailand and cope with all my little moans along the way.
Its my last night here tonight and I am heading back to Bangkok.Main reason, to get some serious shopping done before I come back and to do the cooking course.
The boys are staying here and we will meet up on my last night for farewell beverages.
I am signing out now to go and cry,reminisce and reflect on one of the best months of my entire life.

Co Samui..Koh Tao

Arrived in Co Samui yesterday and went to a place called Chawang AKA 'Benidorm'.
There was just english bar after english bar....irish bars....prostitutes...dogs.....ladyboys....sex clubs....massage parlours.....idiotic drunken package tourists....Mcdonalds-which I am not complaining about-oh and a crap overcrowded beach.
We got a little tree house for about 3 quid and decided to leave as soon as light breaks.The boys went to watch Man U at 3am in the morning so I went out earlier with the girls whilst they promised to be in the english bar from 2am so I could get the key.
1 litre of vodka later and Paula goes to the bar at 3.30am(which took ages to find)-no match -no boys and the bar is shut.
Walks all the way back to the tree house and has to sleep outside on what can only be described as a forest floor.I am sure I saw Robin Hood.
3hours and 120,000,000 mosquito bites later the boys arrive sprinting through the forest with a trail of dogs chasing behind them.
Apparently after nearly being raped by ladyboys..kidnapped by prostitutes and verbally abused by pimps a dog went for one of them and when they ran away every dog in the street joined in the chase.
After clambering over the entrance gate(why did they do that-it was open?)The two security dogs at reception jumped at them and had a little nibble, they were screaming like girls and the security guy just clicked his fingers and the dogs sat and cowered.Funny.
So this morning they were cut,bruised,flipflopless and in bad moods.
So thank you god we have arrived in what seems to be HEAVEN!
We are in Koh tao which is apparently the place to go to dive.So maybe I will try to scuba.It looks scary and I will be petrified but everyone here recommends it.
We are going to have 'another' mad one tonight as it's our first night here and I am going to try and persuade them to scuba tomorrow.If not Ill do it alone.We are staying at the simple life village right on the beach near all the nightlife for a fiver a night.Its great.There is a big bar bit on the beach with pool tables,chill out bit,internet and all the peeps who r staying here eat and drink there.Its like a youth club-its cool.
So that's it...nothing else to report except I have put more photos on face book and only have 6 days left!
I DON'T WANNA COME BACK!!!!!
1 YEARS TIME AND I AM GOING TO BE A GYPSY FOREVERXXXX

Never Ever Again..

Ok, Michelle and Linzi.Remember when we went to Amsterdam and had mushrooms?Well, I dont think we had 'proper' mushrooms.Because the mushrooms I had last night affected me in a completely different way.I will never do anything ike that again.
Me and the girls done a bottle of vodka in the room and headed to the mushroom restaurant.Everybody ordered a choccy mushroom shake.Me and this girl decides to down it as quick as we could and followed by another one.No more than 10 min later I am feeling like crap.My whole body feels like plasticine and evrything is squashy.I am paranoid every1 is laughing at me and nobody else has drunk the concoction.We decide to go the loo to wash our face and try and feel better.BIG mistake the toilets dark our vision is black and white and this girlsd head looks like a skull.An hour ater after the weird feelings we al just laugh and laugh and laugh.We were practically weeing ourselves.I was in tears as was everybody else.We goes to the beach bar and meet the boys who are stone cold sober armed with the video camera.
About 3 hrs later but what felt like 12hrs we are all fine,stone cold sober and remorseful.
I did get up this morning to do my cookery course after all of 1hr sleep and it had been cancelled!So when we move on tomorrow I will have to book another.
I have'nt even looked at the footage last night from the camera I dread to think what we all look like.But these girls are trying to pursuade me to go and work in Kavos with them.It sounds so much FUN than Los Nietos.They work there for 6months in Kavos then go to Thailand for 8 weeks,then do work wherever and travel again.I WANT TO TRAVEL FOREVER ONLY 7 DAYS LEFT AND I AM SICK!

haircuts......'more' partees....Kho Phangan...Magic mushrooms!

Ok.We are still here in Kho Phangan.Its great!
But like lassy I have to move on....So tomorrow I am doing the thai cookery course.I was meant to do it on Fri but it started at 10am and I never got in till 12oops.Then sat same story and Sunday lets just not go there!So tomorrow I am doing it.DEFINITELY or I will lose my money and an experience I don't want to miss.
I have had to break a gypsy rule.I have been and had my hair done-again....Only because it was a little bit singed from 'the ring of fire'.Tonight I will not go near it mainly because I have met a group of Scottish girls at the pool.Now guys, you think I am mad.These are the MAD.Things are going to get really messy later.The boys are off to watch football whilst we are going to try the local Kho Phangan delicacies at 'THE MAGIC MUSHROOM RESTAURANT'!Woo Hoo!
And, next door to this place is what I have been told a very good tattoo parlour!So we will see what happens.But there is one rule I will not be breaking tonight and that is NO TATTOOS!No matter how off my head I am or how drunk I WILL NOT get a tattoo.After the last one I have learnt my lesson.Although I could get one as a souvenir to remind me of Thailand-maybe I will buy a keyring instead..
So if I make it to the course tomorrow morning and have not ended up in hospital poisoned by a dirty tattoo needle I shall inform you of tonights adventures tomorrow.
Oh just a little question to Leanne,Gemma and Michelle do you think that schizophrenia is contagious?Maybe I could be the next Aunt Irene?Wotcha think girls?And yes ladies I am still in camouflage paint hiding!
SIGNING OUT!

Krabbi...elephant trek..mad boat...fire party...

After leaving Phi Phi we got a boat to a little town called Krabbi.
It was a nice town but very quiet.We chilled out there and went on an elephant trek.
It was excellent.We went through the jungle on an elephant for 2 hours.Seen some beautiful scenery and waterfalls and had a brilliant time.
Later that day we took a coach to9 the ferry port and boarded a boat for our 10 hr journey to Ko Phangan.
What we was told was a ferry by another lying travel agent was not.It was a big wooden cargo boat carrying fruit and anything else that was being shipped to this island.There was about 100 matresses all next to each other on the wooden deck.It was hilarious.We thought we were going to be on something like stena line so never brought no food or drink.Luckily we had an hour to kill before it set off so we went and got some essentials...booze.
We met a group of Norwegian girls and two boys from Skegness!hahah
So after a rather noisy,sleepless night we have arrived on the lively island of Kho Phangan!
It is GREAT.Last night there was a valentines party on the beach.There were fire dancers...lots of music.....vodka and then a limbo competition.But not your average limbo.The limbo pole was on fire.As you can guess I was rubbish at this.But when the ring of fire was introduced and everyone was diving through it I decided to get involved..oops.It was fun and the boys were too scared to join in.Then came High jump.At school I was the high jump champion, I used to love it.I think Ive lost my touch with old age-and singed a few hairs!
So for anyone who is wondering, I AM going back to Spain as planned and I am not staying here.But I have decided I am going to save up for 12 months and then travel.I know I have said it all before...blah blah..blah..
BUT DEFINITELY!I want to travel FOREVER.I never want kids or a mortgage or worries.I am going to be a gypsy forever!This is the life!I cant believe it has been 15 days already.Time has flown.I don't want it to end!I am dreading going back.
So at least I have got something to look forward to at the end of the year..and all the hard work I will do in the summer will pay off!

thai boxing...doctors...injuries...free vodka buckets!

It was our last night here and with the girls so we decided to go out really early and watch the rugby.I hate rugby but it was an excuse to go out earlier than normal.The vodka buckets were buy 1 get 1 free as a rugby special!
By the time rugby was finished we were nearly there and 2 scousers had joined our group.
Then something happened which I really really regret today.
There is a a bar with a thai boxing ring in the middle with a sign outside reading: FREE BUCKETS FOR THAI BOXERS!
You can probably guess what happened next...
After about an hour persuading the guy to let me and Jen get in and after a lot of jeering from the crowd we are allowed in the ring.
Rubber helmets,gloves and body armour are supplied.We looked like a pair of gimps!We made an agreement that when we got in the ring there would be no punches in the face and to go a bit gentle.
Everything changed once the bell rang.Irish just went mental!I felt bad hitting her hard and was struggling to keep my balance after a blow to the head.3 rounds and 15 min later we were both still standing and Jen was nominated the winner!Which upset the boys as they had placed 20 quid bets on me.But hey god loves a trier!
I have awoken this morning with black and blue arms and I cant put my foot down.When I try to walk I just get the worst pain ever in my knee like my leg is going to snap.
And it had to happen today of all days as we are travelling to Krabbi today.
I am going to go for a sports massage and see if that helps.I dunno..............
I need to sort it or it's gonna do my head in.
But anyways I said I would try everything once!

FIRE!FIRE!FIRE!

Whilst spending a lazy day chilling at the beach we smelled smoke.But as there was a BBQ close by we thought nothing of it.
When the sky turned grey with smoke and ash was falling like snow and people were running up the beach we decide to investigate.
Nearly a quarter of the island has burnt down.Our favourite vodka stall,restaurants,bars,clothes shops everything!They have actually burnt to the ground.
There was a line of like 200 people from the beach to the town relaying buckets of water to put out the fire.A man on a mega phone was telling everyone to go to they re rooms and get buckets and all fire extinguishers.It was mad!
I mean there was no firemen!O.k. I know we are on an island in the middle of the ocean with no roads but I thought there would be something!And there is no water here from 12am-5pm so there was not even a hose.
So, the beach is full of bits of wood,debris,furniture,rubbish -its like a disaster zone.
It is so bad.I feel so sorry for all those little people who have lost their livlihoods.It's so sad.
So, tomorrow we are getting out of here.

Sunset at the beach!

Still @ Phi Phi..........boat trips.....partees.....monkeys.

After the night of broken cameras and injuries we have decided that every night one member of the gang is to be the nominated 'driver'.
The driver is the valubles holder and video man.
Friday was Nick's turn.Well done Nick!He caught evry fall,every bad dance move and every funny moment.But he never caught the moment when Becks lost the boys room key or where he lost it.So back at Gypsy village there is a scuffle going on because there is no key.The boys try to act all macho and poke each other but basicallly it was like a scene from Grange hill.
After a few unprintable words the door is kicked down and everybody goes to bed.
Yesterday me and the girls decided to leave the boys in bed and reflect on their behavior from the night before.10 of us hired a boat and went to Monkey Island,Sgark point,Nui cove,Lohbahgo,loo moo dee,wanglong bay,Bamboo island and Maya bay aka 'THE BEACH'.
And I am proud of myself!I actually went snorkelling.I thought I was going to have a heart attack.Not at the fact that we were snorkelling at shark point but we were in DEEP water.I hate deep water.I was absolutely sh*****ing myself.But after about 30 mins I started enjoying it and i was like a fish to water!
On monkey island there were monkeys on the beach.It was so funny.Some lad got attacked by about 17 of them.He ran and they ran after him.He was terrified but nobody helped everybody was filming or on the floor laughing theyre heads off.
The last stop was 'The beach'.But the boat man never told us that.So we had an hour to chill on this beach.We were all moaning saying when are we going to the beach blah blah blah..When some nerd who was on our boat informs us we were here!Ooops!
We watched the sunset which was gorgeous then headed back.
Back at Phi Phi the boys went to watch the footy whilst me and the girls went on a girly one.I got lost-again....and had to sleep on the patio as the girls never left the key under the plantpot.
I was awoken this morning by the girls who informed me the key was not under the pot as they were inside the room!Why did'nt I check the door?Maybe the fact I had had copius amounts of cocktails and shots..So today I am covered in bites and have a bads neck.

THE REAL THAILAND....VODKA....BEACH PARTEES...

We have finally found THE REAL THAILAND.We are at a place called PHI PHI Island.
No cars,no roads,no prostitutes,no tuc tucs and no tourist rip off merchants.
Its excellent.
We are staying in a little hut in the forest right next to the beach.
There is a little town with a BIG nightlife and it takes 10min on a little canoe thing to get there.
So last night we said we could not get drunk as its a bit dangerous getting the boat and stuff and plus it's a hell of a hike up to our hut.There are no lights, so we bought a torch.I am sharing with two irish girls who I met on the boat-they're boss.We are all sleeping in 1 bed-luxury.
SORRY TO ANYBODY WHO I TELEPHONED LAST NIGHT~!Its all a bit of a blur!
After getting out of the canoe and vowing NOT to drink.Moylesy spots a vodka bucket stall.But this was a vodka stall with a difference.Instead of getting your usual voddy shots in a bucket, you get an extra big bucket with HALF a litre bottle of voddy for like 20p extra!How could we resist!
Two buckets each later we realise Spindle Windle has been walking around all night with his shirt inside out.So we all decide to put all our clothes on inside out.Sounds stupid now but at the time it was quite funny...really.
We meet up with the auzzie gang from the previous restaurant and thats when it all goes horribly wrong.
Memories:
Busting grooves to 'play that funky music white boy',Moylesy being rejected by irish,Spindle showing off his diving skills whilst his digi cam is in his pocket,irish girl did exactly the same 2 secs later,moira pulling some well ugly beast and everyone in the water fully clothed dancing to some crazy hippy rave music.
So 2 digital cameras later.........there is only one camera left in the group.There was 6.
We tried to rockclimb round the island home but a few falls,cuts and bruises later we decide to get the canoe.Spindle remembers he has drowned his camera half way through the boat trip ,gets a nark on jumps into the sea and decides to swim home whilst every1 is sscreaming 'MAN OVERBOARD'!
Arrives back at our island and guess what the torch has been drowned as well and nobody has a lighter.We hike to our room in the dark stumbling,falling and hurting ourselves and fall in bed fully clothed wet and coverd in sand.
An hour later Spindle washes up on shore looking a bit dishelveled and decides to wake evrybody at the ranch up and tell us about his great northern swim.Nice...
So as you can probably gather today everybody is full of remorse,mourning drowned digi cams and nursing aching bodies.There is not one person in our firm without a cut,bruise or injury.
Tonight we are being very sensible.
We have checked out of the forest and got a bamboo hut in the main town bit so it is safer to get home when we are on the buckets later!ha ha!Plus the bucket stall is a 2 sec walk away.
The video is absolutely hilarious but at one point I am in the sea with it which I think was a bit stupid.
We were meant to be leaving today but we love it here so I think we are gonna stay for a few day more....

coral island...

Phuket has a great nightlife but the beach is too crowded and it's not our idea of fun.
We had an excellent night out last night which is why we are all a bit fuzzy today but today has been good.
There were men at the beach with oversized wooden canoes.We asked him to take us somewhere nice.He took us to a place called Coral island.It was empty, there were lots of coves, a fish restaurant and the best beach I have seen my entire life.
We chilled there all day and have decided sod all the sight seeing we are gonna bum about the islands the next 3 weeks.Sorry Jason, but everytime I see a temple they are all the same and I keep thinking of Bro Mike-which is bad!Sorry Bro!
To helen and sue you have lost your bet.It is day 6 and I aint pulled and more to the point I dont want to!This is going to be a man free holiday as I am having so much fun!So when I return make sure my 100euro is behind the bar with my fav sexy barman, Stevie!x
To all of u who wanna view my fotos I just cant get them on here so go to www.facebook.com and sign up.Its quick n easy and u will be able to see all my fotos there.Just add me as a friend to your account.
I am doing a video too but we only ever seem to get good footage when we are under the influence of alcohol.And as requested by Sue, there will a slide show at potters with free food and drink provide by my loyal friends.
Well, going to phi phi islands tomorrow and staying there for a few days .Its where 'The Beach' was filmed.So I am signing off as I am up at 6amx

18 hr bus journey!

We got on a bus at 5pm last night to go to PHUKET.
We have only just arrived!Nightmare!
Smelly,hot,sticky,crowded,uncomfortable,snoring,crap!
After 10 hrs we stopped and they put us all into the back of different pick up trucks with no rooves!fumes,mozzybites,noisy,madness.
We have just arrived here and it is GORGEOUS!Well worth the ride!
White beaches,turquoise water,bars,restaurants but the main thing is the BEACH!Its fab!
So we r gonna stay here a day or 2 and then get a boat to the Sicilian Islands where there is national park land and good scuba.
We plan to be in CO PHANGAN on 16 for the half moon party as we missed the full moon party.
But hey EVERY nites a party!

N E 1 4 PING PONG?

MY 2ND DAY!

WOO HOO!I have met people!Last nite sat at a roadside bar hut drinking buckets of vodka red bull on my own,I met 2 cool guys and a couple girls.Went out got lashed ,ate a few cockaroaches and grasshoppers-i will put video on soon and had a laff.
On the way back to the hotel I bumped into a drunken ex student boy trying to climb up the wheelchair ramp.We got talkin and there is 3 of them.We met up today and done all the touristy temple crap AND took some photos.Tonight we r going to get absolutely hammered and then leave to head south on Mon!We r gonna get a train which u sleep in a little bunk.
Its gonna be like the VENGA BUS but a train.
I am having a ball now!If things carry on like this and I am gonna meet even more peeps I wont wanna come back!

BANGKOK

Well, after a long 12 hr uncomfortable flight I have arrived in Bangkok.
Whilst waiting for my luggage, an auzzie guy asked me where I was going.Good question!
Now Landlord Kim I know u warned me-BUT-he was an auzzie,old enough to be my dad AND he had a backpack.So it was highly unlikely he couldve been a murderer!Saying that the taxi man looked a bit dodgy ahahahhaha.
So I shared a cab with him and headed to where he was going- backpacker land!
Dont ask me the name of the guy,or where I am...But there are lots of street venders,hostels,dogs,smelly things and hippies.And I look completely out of place!I need to go and kit myself out with some dirty baggy clobber and a few dreadlocks and Ill be fine.I look like paris hilton in la union market!
Ne ways I goes to the hotel(if thats what u can call it)what he is checking into.I asked to look at a single room....the shower is a pice of piping hanging above the toilet.To get a shower u obviously sit on the loo and squirt yourself.Now I know I said I was gonna slum it but this was a joke!There was'nt even a window in the room!
So I have checked into a decent hotel for tonight.Tomorrow I promise myself I WILL definately live like a traveller and slum it.I think I will head south down the coast where I think I should like it, because this place is MENTAL!
Maybe if I met someone it would be a bit easier.
So to ease the stress I have just had a 2hr thai massage for 4 euro!It was nice but she got a little bit rough at the end and I felt like I had done an hour at the gym!hahha
So now I am gonna take ANOTHER stroll around and see if I can meet some buddies!(nothing new there then!)
Enough said for today.Hopefully the next blog will be a HAPPY one!
