Well… The night before full moon was supposed to be one of rest and relaxation in preparation for the big one but it just wasn’t to be… Sarah was feeling the strain and went to bed good and early and Georgie and I decided we would just pop along to Glacier bar on the beach for a little one while she span some fire. Of course the problem with having a little one on Koh Phangan is that it never really stops there, it’s always cheaper to get a bucket than a couple of drinks and lured by the budget thats what we did. Georgie span some wicked fire – really getting into it and pulling off new tricks all the time and I slowly worked my way down the bucket.
Feeling all excited having played in front of the biggest crowd yet Georgie was a bit wired and one bucket turned into two… And so on!
Again somehow we managed to end up thoroughly pissed dancing like fools until Georgie realised she was far too drunk to carry on and we wobbled back to bed.
FULL MOON PARTY day!!!!! (more…)

Tan update…
I’m literally the colour of chocolate, Georgie is golden and Sarah is a little pink in places but getting there. As you can probably tell we are bang into the Haad Rin routine, lay on the beach recovering by day – drink too many buckets and dance too much by night. Wednesday was just such a day and come the evening we took a walk up the beach for a couple of buckets and a fire show, they got the football board out again and this time Sarah was with us – so they both queued up to have a go. The barmen instantly recognised Georgie and the chap with the ball rubbed sand on it to try and put her off her game… Would you believe it didn’t work!!! Yet again she managed to put the ball straight through the toughest hole without so much as touching the sides and yet again we got a free bucket of fun. Now I know Georgie can’t kick a ball to save her life and I know the odds of getting a ball through a hole that small, from that far away, on sand are pretty much stacked against and to do it once must be a fluke… But twice? In her defence – she aimed to do it, she did it and then she did it again… Must be skill! (more…)

So here we are back on Koh Phangan and getting our party muscles in shape for another full moon party. We left Koh Tao the very next day after diving in an attempt to save money but I can really see myself going back to do more diving.
The ferry between Koh Tao and Koh Phangan was effortless as usual and apart from the long sweaty walk up the pier to where the cheap minibuses wait getting all the way to Haad Rin was a breeze. We kicked off our flip flops and hopped down on to the dazzling white sand, we were met by a cool sea breeze and an almost empty beach – it was good to be back!
A short walk up the beach to our usual haunt, Sea View bungalows, on the quietest end of the beach which as the name suggests enjoys a perfect sea view interrupted only by sunbathers and palm trees. It was like going back to a home from home because all the staff remember us and gave us such a warm welcome, they were genuinely happy to see us again and even sorted us a discount without us even asking.
