I was not really going to say much about my week in Koh Samet apart from that i really enjoyed it, it has a lovely beach and even though the weather was a bit hit and miss i still had a good time. Trying to lose the stig (of the dump look) i had a vitamin hair treatment, a facial, a thai massage and a manicure and pedicure, so felt great.
Towards the end of the week the Thai New Year celebrations began to take place, the Thai's run on a different calender to us and its currently the year 2552. The start of this celebration begins with the water festival, where everyone goes around throwing water at everybody and flour. It was all quite calm until i returned to Bangkok on Saturday and the locals were going around in trucks throwing buckets over everybody-what a laugh! I was quite dry until i went to me my friend in the Khaosan Rd area and i had that much flour and water over me i looked like something that had been made with pilbury's dough. Had such a good laugh though, although i am suprised they let me back into the hotel looking the way i did-think they are used to it.
Anyway i am now in Sydney and have been here about five hours, i have had a walk to Sydney opera house, which i have a tour of tomorrow, harbour bridge and the royal botanic gardens and i love Sydney already! I am currently in the area of Darlinghurst and then i move to Coogee Beach for three days on Wednesday, after this i plan to go to Manley Beach for three days and then return to the city centre before i commence my six week overland tour.
Keep well

Bet its great being a lady of leisure!!
Cant believe you saw so much after only a few hours in Sydney. You will be taking up surfing soon. After your sky dive that will seem easy!
Here's to more fun in the outback!
Happy travelling love susan xx
My oh My, haven't these three months just flown by. Sidney already!!
On the day you arrived, our Principle FD, Gary, returned to work after spending 4 long weeks in Sidney (his girlfriend is there until July). Hope you enjoy it as much as he seems to have done. Hey,
you are enjoying it, you're having a ball!
You certainly seem to have done the
landmarks quickly. Enjoy your trip to the outback and keep us all informed whenever you can.
Keep on trekking..
Lots of love
Ann & Gordon.
