I arrived fresh off the boat from Koh Tao, to the smiles of Sophie, Shelley and Caroline, who bless their hearts had decided to pick me up! Took me to their little bungalow village and introduced me to their friends.  Promptly put my bikini on and ran down into the sea, just as gorgeous as Koh tao, deserted beaches and lots of sea and sand..one improvement though, this place has hammocks, and lots of them!!!  We chilled out all day preparing ourselves for the strenuous activites of the night.  At about 7pm we were all freshened up, ready for food and a game or two of ring of fire before we headed down about 10pm..

MY MY MY-i have never seen anything like it!! we got to the beach and it was already packed, i mean packed! I think all 20,000 people had turned up at once! I took responsibility for one of the guys since it was his birthday, and got a bucket to start myself going..then onto the dancing! Having a great time, dancing away on the sand, me and Greg, an aussie guy even had random strangers photographing and videoing us dancing (admittedly i was doing running jumps at him before he swung me around and then fell over) so watch out for any incriminating videos or photos!  Kept drinking, and then went into a bar to dance to trance...not my sort of place but it was fun enough!

20,000+ people on one beach...only a full moon party!!!!

The boy i was buddied to (this was about 3am) then started to feel ill, so we got on 2 motorcycle taxis..luckily i got the one incapable of driving, and about 3 minutes into the drive i came off the bike and ended up scratched up and minus transport home (he did a fast one on me)!! Luckily a nice couple stopped and took me to the clinic to get my legs cleaned up, so i was home at about 5, when some of the others were beginning to crawl in.

The next day we all said goodbye to the cornish girls and spent the rest of the day relaxing by the sea, watching TV and reading..i even managed a beer, since i was the only one to not be hungover (arent you all proud?!!)

Today i think we be much of the same, relaxing, eating, sleeping and lying in the sea or in a hammock, depending on what the waters like on my legs.
