Pirates of the good ship Team Adventure

Here the ladies found exactly what they were looking for. Nice white sand lots of sunshine. They spared not a thought for the locals who would no doubt be blinded by the sun reflecting of their extremely white skin.

I put sunglasses over the camera lens so this picture could be taken. The lady on the left is Coreena, a Donegal Lassie who joined us for our island hop. She is seen here desperately using an a book to save her sight from the blinding white...

Peter and I aren't usually beach people but we decided we'd give it a whirl. Peter took to the water with ease, and I with the grace of a seal. A clubbed seal at that. We found coins in the sand under water at one point, which we decided was pirate treasure! Later it was found out it came from my pockets as I forgot to empty them in my hurry to play in the water...

Peter and I got to stay in this lovely tropical toolshed. It had a little moat around it with a waterfall and everything! We only stayed 2 nights though as it was full of holes for mosquitos to get it. You'll see why this was a problem later...

Amanda having a sleepy night! She kept dropping off and waking up over and over again. I decided I'd give her a shake to wake her up properly.

I got at least half a beaches worth of sand dumped on my head for my troubles. Lesson: let sleeping Amanda's lay!

Coreena was oblivious to the sand fights going on mere feet away. She was too busy dancing like a crazy person!

Peter with a Hero's amount of Tiger Beer. The language barrier led one of his trips to the bar for "A Tiger" with him being presented with "A Thai girl".
What led him to choose beer over a lady? Her mustache was offputting apparently.

Main reason we left the Tropical Toolshed. Trying to set up and/or get under a Mosquisto net after a few drinks is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

We will be heading to Cambodia in the next few days, to see what we can find. Pictures shall appear as we can manage!

Proof at last that Amanda and Emma have joined us safely, despite arriving a day earlier and making us run around Kaoh San road to find them. We had been drinking whiskey for gods sake...

A and E arrived just in time for two days of celebration. The first was Australia day! Here is our friend Steve, a true blood Australian. As such Peter and I spent a lot of time getting our wallets back off him after he stole them. Those convict genes...

Despite the jet lag, A and E were in fine form, becoming honorary Australians for the night. Those are real tattoos by the way. Emma was so angry when she found out she destroyed several surrounding villages.

Witness the best way to calm a rampaging strong woman! Despite her small size she is deceptively heavy and I feared for my match-stick like spine. Soon she was calm again, and ready for the next nights BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

There was a gathering for our Thai friend Am's birthday! Many of her shops regulars came by to wish her well. Im not telling you her age by the way, she's Thai Mafia and would have me erased.

Here is the glorious cake. It lasted all of 15 seconds before being devoured by the assembled horde.

Some wanted more than there share! Here Canadian Dave got his just desserts for trying to steal an Irish mans cake! Wheee I can hear the groaning readers from over here!

After all this fun it was time to leave Bang Kok and move on to somewhere more relaxing. Find out where in PAAAAAAART TWWOOOOOO!!!
