Hi! So, I'm writing this from the words oldest computer, on the beach (in a hut). I've got about half an hour while my photos clunk over from the camera to the computer. I, and the computer, and the camera, have sand in every cranny so nothing is working properly. The sand here is white, fine and omnipresentbut it's forgiven because it's very nice to sit on and look at.
Well you will all be glad to hear we finished the fast, all 7 jungly days of it. We did feel quite healthy afterwards and apparently were completely detoxified, so that must have done us some good. By the end though, we were going a bit mental and despite all the other fasters saying "It's weird I just haven't felt hungry", I was starving. So we got in a taxi down to chaweng beach a few days ago and life since then has been a constant stream of spring rolls, curry, fishcakes, noodles, fried rice, coke, beer and not a whisper of fruit or water, and Definitely No Spa Broth (which we decided was made by waving a potato over some hot water).
So onto the latest photos! Well, as always the bulk of them are on the link over <----there but i'll show you my favourites. This was our hut in the jungle. This was the pool. And THIS was my favourite thing, the hammock. I read three books in it. The other day we went on an elephant. It was called Bang Bang. You can see Zoe is not very happy - she didn't like it because bang bang was a bit sad, and she had a point, so that will be the last animal cruelty we indulge in for a while. I enjoyed sitting on its head though, you steer it with its ears. This is zoe on the beach in the evening and this is me doing a handstand. This is our bit of beach at night/ This is me posing on the bus and this is Zoe with some drinks. (We got holed up in a bar during some hurricane-esque rains and wind, which was fine, I had a beer and zoe had an irish coffee. This was the view. )
This is the view from our bungalows. Word of warning: do not climb on one of these while drunk, or this will happen.
Yesterday nick arrived, so we went out for dinner and went to the local trendy bar where there was a thai girl punching men who wouldnt buy her a drink, I loved her.
All good, let me know how you're all geting on! x

And there I was just last night speculating when we might see another update. It all sounds (and looks) divine. *books holiday to Thailand*.
I am nursing a hangover, about to go onto the balcony, on a stepladder and put up my Christmas Lights. I may tie myself to something secure, just in case.
Lots of love to you both.

Ohhh, guys, it looks like you're having the MOST FANTABULOUS time. I got back from Asia (cities though) last week - can throughly recommend Beijing (but you need a visa). London is EXTREMELY cold, it's beyond the joke, I'm convinced the Thames will freeze this year.
Winding down for Christmas is not an option, but I'm thinking of you and that gives me strength.
Lots of love to you both, miss you.
