The dog eats all the shoes

I've got an hour or so to kill before we catch the 5 o'clock boat to the mainland where we will board a train at around 10. We noticed it was the equivalent of 17 quid to take the sleeper train first class. Considering I've never had the money to travel first class anywhere I decided to travel in style while I had the chance. I shall report any noticeable difference when I get settled in Bangkok...
I've had fun staying on Koh Phangan, the bay we stayed in was so beautiful - like film set beautiful. That's why there's been no diary updates for a bit, I've had nothing to say. (In a good way). I've just been doing absolutely nothing with the exception of going to different towns on the island to buy supplies, eat in different restaurants and drink in different bars.
This time next week I'll be flying to Japan, twelve days from now I'll be walking on English soil for the first time in about two months. I imagine being back in England will be just as much a culture shock as any place I've been to.
