Well it had to happen...after my little sojourns in hospital Jen decided she wanted a piece of the action last night annd, after stubbing her toe really badly, we spent an hour and an X-Ray at PP Hospital. Although there was no doctor (!) there to decided if it was broken or not we had a good look and it looks OK so we think it isn't broken. One thing was a bit scary in that at the hospital they asked my name and then she asked how my diarrhea was. They then all donned masks and made some excuse - hilarious. I must be something of a celebrity. I'm pleased to report that after a nights sleep Jen's toe feels alot better - hopefully she'll be able to get a fin on later when we try on all our stuff for the Similan's.

One other thing to note is that there are very few dogs on the island but hundreds of cats - all emaciated but affectionate. We have been told that once a year the Thais go round with poison to cull them all...at least they don't then eat them like they would in some other parts of Asia...(Incidentally someone said to us whilst in China - 'If it's got a face they'll eat it...'!)

Yesterday we went snorkelling around the islands - great fun. Saw a number of fish, and also the first sea snake we've seen. We also saw 'The Beach' where said film was, er, filmed. I feel about 95% now so hopefully my guts'll be fine for 4 days aboard a boat...
