Moving house

Today I'm moving home to my room with a Seaview. I've taken it for 7 days to chill before I head to Krabi. I've paid a guy to take my rucksack because I think I would faint if I tried to carry it. I do a little unpacking before heading out to say goodbye to the girls and as I go onto the stairwell I spot a monkey to my left then as I turn to my right there is a whole family of them in the bin at the top of the stairs. They scuttle away as I approach but I go back to my room and lock my balcony door as I don't want to come back and find half my room missing. As cute as they are they can be a nuisance. With the girls seen safely off I get to meet another couple of the local crew and as we walk down to the cottage bar we pass the postman. The post and supplies comes in on the ferry's and boats, and is distributed around the island in carts. The only vehicles on the island are motorbikes and the odd truck for construction purposes. I'm feeling pretty rough today and literally spend the day chilling at the cottage bar. There is a lot of construction going on on the island and to cope with it they are also putting in new pipework. As we sit having a beer they literally dig along the walkway and place the pipe in the long hole and cover it back over. The old boy is doing all the digging and the young ones might as well be digging with a spoon. We visit mays bar she's just opened and brings out sambuca which seems to give me a second wind, followed by the usual haunts. In the freedo. Bar we meet a guy called Bob whos Australian with a Thai wife and at 130 in the morning he gets in his little dinghy with an outboard motor and takes them back to his boat. This island just doesn't get any better even though I wasn't going to drink u somehow end up in the cottage bar till 3am drinking shots with Chris, Brian and a bunch of locals. I retreat to my bed a lot worse for wear.Read more
