life as we know it

It's been a while since the travelling went into pause-mode... but things are going well back in NZ! Summer was absolutely awesome, even without the weekend missions to Europe.

The highlight of this year was having all the crew over for a visit for our wedding. We miss you guys!!

Work has treated us well and on top of that it's great to see old friends and our families. In saying that we are planning to be back in Europe for a holiday in 2009 so watch this space :)

Thailand on the west coast

Been a little bit off of the internet lately, well since Christmas day.

Had a great day in Vientiane, Laos with lunch at a posh hotel there followed by lots of beer (photos here if you have facebook). Headed back to Thailand after that and met up with Claire, Jason and Sandra for NYE in Ko Tao in the Gulf of Thailand.

NYE was a blast and a good call to go to Tao and not Phangan as it was set to be mad busy on Phangan. Here are some pics of NYE (if you have facebook). Did some wicked Scuba diving on 31/12 which was ace.

Headed over to the west coast of Thailand after NYE and have been here ever since. Ange's birthday (photos here if you have facebook) was great! We went out on a day snorkeling trip around the islands followed by a boozing bonfire session on the beach.

We have completely reached new levels of relaxation staying at 'Relax Bay' and will be staying in our current bungalow for about 3 weeks until we leave back to Bangkok at the end of this week.

Here are some more pics of where we're been staying (if you have facebook).

In Bangkok we spend a couple of days just to pick up tailoring and make a few purchases before getting back to NZ ON THE 24th. Can't wait!
