We have survived the 24h journey by train! Was an experience which took us through every means of transportation possible - started by a small tuk-tuk (3-wheel moped), then train, then minivan, followed by a ferry and finishing with a songthew (pronnounced song-tao and meaning two benches - a pickup truck with two facing benches at the back, the most common means of transport in Thailand outside Bangkok). Thanks for all the comments on our train journey (Timea!:) We are staying in Buathong resort on the Lamai beach with 7-8 bungalows owned by a French man (so we can practise our French as well not to forget it completely). Beach and sea are lovely here ( even some small waves for Pedro to be happy - it is not soo flat as on Koh Chang), but to compare it , Koh Chang was more magical.... We might be moving towards Ko Thao later on if we want to do some diving as the prices are really high here.... We will let you know. Otherwise we will be in this area for a week, our last week in Thailand and we will be heading down to Malaysia. Almost one month of our journey passed! Does it seem like that? not to us:)
Let us know how are you doing in wintery and snowy Europe or wherever you are:)

I love reading your blog! High quality content, I love it!
However it looks like you have forgotten about some ancient traditions... Pedro how could have you forgotten about Burns night! 25th of January! No haggis in Thailand?
A bientot les aventuriers!

Hello!!!
We just saw your Picasa photos on Vanda's new GREAT laptoptop!!!!! (stealing our neighbour's Internet)!
Two things made us very happy:
- Pedro is always wearing the cap we gave him! hurray!
- He is reading the small black diary we gave you (Moleskine, this boring girl says...)!
I have not written much lately but continue to follow your adventurous journey!
Have fun, Tom Sawyers!
Kisses from Vanda and Joao!
Yo lovely people. :-)) Did u get my txt? :-) Gary says that Ko Tao is a dedicated diving island e.g. one of the cheapest diving places in the world, full of back-packers and not much else. (That's where he got his camera stolen, so be careful.) If you go to Buddha View dive school, you get accomodation free. It's like a capus dive school with food, bed, everything you need in one place for diving. No frills. Let us know know your experience there. Timi
