Driving like a Thai person, check ...

We hired a car yesterday to head down to the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project and just generally hoon around Phuket. Erin drove yesterday but today I took over as she has gone diving. Only two unneccessary U-Turns so far, and no accidents (touch wood!). Thankfully they drive on the left and it's still pretty much island driving without too much traffic.

I also forgot to say happy Waitangi Day! This is a national New Zealand holiday for anyone who doesn't know - a treaty was signed between the British and the Maori at Waitangi on February 6, sometime in the 1800s (someone help me out here). We spent the day lounging on the beach and then went into "town" - Nai Yang Beach - for some dinner and drinks. We ended up having pizza delivered to us one by one by scooter from a restaurant down the beach. The sunset was beautiful, the girls managed to find some Crowded House in the bar CD collection, and we even managed to meet a couple of random kiwis on holiday. Add those two to the four already in our group and you have a sizeable percentage of our population!

I will have some Thailand photos sorted out soon, keep checking back ...

Oh and congratulations to my cousin David on his recent engagement, about time!!
