Day 28 - Thursday 20th May

Got up late, couldn't be bothered so missed breakfast. Had a fall out with the Indian travel agent last night after screwing up our flights so were both stessed out. Had a few choice words with him and got it sorted, twit. We're completely over our baggage allowance so had to pack up a load of clothes and take them to the post office. Nae bother. Took them up in a wee suitcase on the back of the racing machine and the nice posty man packed them all up for us so they should now be winging there way to Tarves and we should see them in a couple of weeks. Must be pigeon carrier airlines. We might see them again or not, this is Thailand so it'll be a bonus if we do. Fingers crossed. Then headed off for breakfast and up to se Da at the massage parlour to say hello. She told us she got her driving license yesterday, we just about fell off our seat laughing - she can't even drive. She said because she paid a man 300 baht to use his car for the test he helped her pass. Says she's not going on any big roads yet but she look at big road and think maybe she go on big road soon. She did get 29 out of 30 for her theory though but had a little 'assistance' to pass the actual driving. She was laughing her head off too, I bet Johnny's not laughing though!! He'll be panicking in case he hasn't got a brand spanking new shiny black Mitsibushi when he gets home. :-) Went back to the hotel, had a quick dip in the pool but it was absolutely red hot so didn't stop long. Was time for Andy to go and get his tattoo anyway. He started at 4pm and almost gave up at 7pm, the pain was too much so said he would come back Friday to have it finished. The tattoo guy convinced him to soldier on otherwise the pain would be worse tomorrow and he would second thoughts about having it finished. So with tears in his eyes and a couple of cigarettes later he went back inside to take the pain. He eventually got out 10pm with the biggest smile on his face through sheer relief. It's really nice and now we know we don't have to back tomorrow so have the whole of tomorrow to ourselves before we leave Saturday. Only thing planned is the Thai Boxing (Muay Thai) which is not til 9pm so all day to chill out, thank god. Cant't go to the beach though otherwise our huddock tattoo's will get fried. Sure we'll manage to fill our day though. Maybe take the scooter for a blast around the island, just have to wait and see what happens.
