Feb 26th Thailand



















First steps of the journey..........

Travelling for thirty something hours is not much fun with no sleep, we weren't the happiest bunnys! ha ha
But we have arrived after bus london,tube london, plane India, bus India, plane Thailand,taxi bangkok, bus Ko samui , boat Koh Phangan, Taxi to wooden bungalow with one of the best views I have ever seen !
Have seen so much from the crazyness of Bankok to the calm chilled out vibe of this place Kho Phangan.......Just need to chill out now after all that travelling!
We have adventured all around the Island and taken in some amazing sites, dolphins on the way over, monkeys collecting coconuts, elephants in the mountains to mention but a few!
We are staying in a bungalow 20 steps away from the ocean but we have given the snorkelling a miss as there are quite a few jelly fish!
Loving Thailand.

enjoy the pics........

Ireland Feb 09






















Well what a place to start travelling, I know its in the UK and not quite Asia YET but that will come(Feb 16th) but what an amazing place to begin and get my creative juices flowing again!

I love Ireland, it has the most unbelievably fantastic landscapes and interesting, funny, friendly people. Everyone says hello to you in the villages as you walk by, just like you would imagine!
The natural beauty of the place just takes your breath away.
What else can I say? The photos do not do it justice!
Back in England now preparing for the trip! I can not wait to go further around the world and just enjoy and explore and experience everything we come across ( and by "we" I am talking about my life and travelling partner aka my better half (sometimes) aaka Irish Boyf x
Lets just keep everything crossed that we can get out (sorry FLY out - slip of the tongue )of England OK with all of the snow...................
