Ok so I have little bit of time to talk about my days here in Koh Phangan but I can't upload pictures so I will get to that whenever I can.

I should start with the elephant trip. I am going to put it out right now.....I pussed out. As soon as I got on the elephant I realized that I hated being on it. It didn't feel right. The elephant looked in pain and I felt like I was about to fall off, so I got off. When I did this the rest of the people started getting on the elephants including the 5 British 20 year old girls. Trust me when I say that I am paying for it and not just from my group. The Thai ladies that were there started to point at me and laugh at me. It was pretty embarrassing. I think that I am ok with it though because of all of the stuff that I have done I have showed my bravery....right?

Now onto the diving. I absolutely loved this. The only bad thing was that we missed the whale shark on all off the dives including todays, so all 4. We did get to see, however, alot of baracuda, bat fish, and so on. It was a lot of big fish. I have to say how absolutely amazing it was. I am really in love with the sea and feel as though I am slowely getting addicted to all of this. I can't wait to get home and book some weekend trips to the Carribean and see more and more. I am also going to get my liceneces updated.

Out of all of the places that I have been to thus far I will definitly come back to these islands and dive again. Ko Phangan is part of a group of islands with Koh Tao and Koh Samui.

We are having a blast here and I am loving my group. Kate says that I should say something about her in my blog because her really nice mom reads this from time to time to check if she is alive. So, Kate's Mom, if you are reading this here is my statement about Kate.....

She farts a lot.

Make sure that you mention this to here if you talk to her again.

Have I talked about our Monkey. He is our drinking monkey. we names him Yeesus. Yeesus because we wanted to name him Jesus but the Sweeds can't pernounce there J's. We have been taking photos with him all around teh place and drinking with him. I am proud to say that we is slowely getting a nice wardrobe put together. We have about a thousand pics with him so far so be sure to see them when I get a chance.

So in short I will get you some pictures soon but for now it is bar time and we are going to have a beer....or two :-).
