Khao San fun with Toby

Tue 29/04/2008 23:01 29042008422

hey hey everybody… last night and yesterday we had a full day with toby in bangkok and we decided not to stray from the ko san road and head back off to ko samet today, we just went from market stall to bar to food stall all day long soaking it all up and watching all the other backpackers doing the same. in the evening after discussing whether to go see a “ping pong show” or not (we didnt !) we found a grotty little shithole bar with a bloody good live band and we couldnt tear ourselves away and ended up staying all night! as we wandered up and down ko san rd for snacks from the street vendors Georgie decided she would get some grasshoppers! and meal worms…. and bless her cotton socks after several quality tunes and many many tiger beers she plucked up the courage and chowed down!.. but me and toby ducked out of that one, i claimed that i hated soy sauce, which they were covered in. also earlier in the evening we found a tiny reggae bar down a little dark alley and knocked a couple back there and as we did a little family of cats appeared 2 of which were so tiny they could fit in your hand… and of course georgie had to feed them and stroke them and love them and this morning all three of us have flea bites! as i write this we are packed onto the bus heading back to the beautiful island of ko samet.
we have really setlled into things now and we know roughly what things should be costing and have heard all the scams and getting around with a little bit of knowledge is infinately easier, starting to really feel like hardcore backpackers now. thanks for all the comments we love to get them and so many people have said they are planning to come see us and we cant wait because we miss you all so much
love love love big A and G unit xxxx
