But for now, a special message for my bro…
Today, I woke up, got dressed and sneaked out.
My mission was to buy flowers, croissants and orange juice for Jen.
Got back and realised we had no milk for tea, so out again I went!
Woke Jen with a nice cuppa, flowers and cornflakes. Then croissants, butter and jam. I think she enjoyed that.
After catching up with a couple of episodes of Big Brother, we went to a dive shop to buy some new booties for her! She really needed a new pair since her other ones have huge holes in…
Boots purchased, it was time to go play in the pool… for a couple of hours. Very relaxing.
At 5pm we went back home, and changed into some dry clothes before going to our next appointment… The Flying Trapeze.

Jen was very nervous at first, but soon got the hang of it, getting extremely close to a catch at the end. I was luckier, getting my first catch bang on (subsequent ones, didn’t work out).
After an exhausting hour of flying through the air with not the greatest of ease, we went for dinner at Papa’s Tapas. A really nice dinner, with a bottle of wine that costs nearly £50 here that you could buy in Tesco’s for £8… well it was a special occasion, and boy was it nice to have a decent (ish) bottle of wine.
Back home, we watched Prince of Persia before bed.
Today, while Jen was resting with a slight cold, I went hunting for Whaleshark.
Yesterday, a whaleshark was spotted at Chumphon Pinnacle. Unfortunately, Jen and I had a few drinks last night, and getting up at 6am… I couldn’t even open a pack of cornflakes!!!
Anyway, camera prepped and dive kit ready.. I hit the boat to Chumphon, and…… NO WHALESHARK!!! Hey ho…
2 dives, no problems… and I went off the beach in the afternoon to Junkyard. There I came across the biggest Barracuda I have ever seen.. 2m long, it was a beast of a fish… Absolutely stunning..
So no Whaleshark, but the Barracuda was awesome.
After that, I nipped to the pool with Jen and Nick… and kicked his butt!


Oh, and forgot to post this piccie of the scorpion in our bed the day before yesterday… yuck!
