Goodbye Jo!

Today Jo has left and we all should be leaving with her to go to Ko Samui to see her off, but Rosa is sick so her and me have stayed behind and Mark and Melissa have gone.

It's been really lovely having Jo with us and of course it wasn't long enough (I said that all along!). We had a lovely and horrible day yesterday - we went on a snorkelling day and had some great times snorkelling around the island, seeing incredible fish and coral and getting more tanned (and red) than we have to date. Horrible because me, Rosa and Mark were all extremely sea sick at times and Rosa got very sick when we got back - also we all acquired some painful coral cuts, very small but sore and prone to infection.

It was a shame that Jo's last night with us was a low key affair as me and Mark took turns to sit with Rosa and we couldn't venture away from our hotel. It was great to have another friendly person around and we had some very good times together and also good to have someone else around to talk about our 'job application' with. We've almost finished it now and are looking forward to signing it off in the next week so that we can get back to wholeheartedly relaxing! Mark, Jo and Melissa took some fantastic photos and they will go up in due course.

Jo says that snow is predicted in the UK on Tuesday - enjoy it! We're enjoying tropical sunshine and finally getting a little tanned!- Heather

di here
sorry to hear that you have been poorly - but I always found that going out on a boat and snorkelling made me feel sick too! Shay and Xander were both ill in Ko Phangan and don't think its that good, so maybe off to Si Chang. We had some snow here today - I just can't get warm and by 7 pm I'm ready for bed! Its no fun coming back! good job you will be back in the summer I think! Mum has gone off to spain and portugal to "get some sun on her bones" They are thinking about Mexico but will you be there?
anyway love to you all
