Day 212 (Sun 4 Feb) - Koh Lanta

Phoned the Coral Beach bungalows and they have a bungalow! Arranged for them to pick us up at 11.30am.

Packed our gear and had breakfast. Paid up and were picked up by the Coral Beach people. Soon we were unpacking our gear in our simple bungalow. No air con, but a nice big fan!

Jo feeling a little tired so whilst she slept Sarb blissfully sat on the beach and started planning the Malaysia and New Zealand parts of the trip and writing his journal whilst listening to the IPOD.

Sarb returned to the room to find that Jo still not feeling too good. However she was a little peckish so Sarb was sent to rustle up a cheese sandwich! He soon returned and Jo managed to nibble at her sandwich.

Sarb, charitably, decided that she need a bit of peace and quiet so went off to the beachfront for a drink.

In the early evening Sarb returned to find that Jo was still not up to much except wanting a sleep.

Sarb went off to a bar with a book and was soon playing Connect4 with the barman, Tom a Thai local. Very soon a German retired lorry driver, Anders a young Swede backpacker and a retired British Paratrooper joined the party and many beers were drunk!

Sarb returned to the room sometime later well and truly tiddled.
