On the way to koh phayam

.Our wait time was eight hours till the 9pm bus to Ranong.  As the southern bus terminal is new and used to be still is a shopping centre time went easily . All the sharks and scammers were kept aWay. Two bouncing balls lasted most of the time. But Rowan thought it was possible for us to choose the colour when it came from a machine. 

Again lots of smiles and interested observers, this one had sqeeky shoes!

Rest of the time the four floors provided much up and down escalator fun. A stall demoing its DVDs had a cartoon , but when Rowan was more interested in World WarZ and we saw a hand cut off I thought better to whisk him away! 

I had a painful reflexology which was a a complete lower body workout then it was on bus time. Kids tried out all the seat climbing and positions before getting to know our neighbour

I found only way to sleep was resting my head on Sarah's seat in front, this prompted the stern looking uniformed hostess to wake me up to check I was ok. After 9 hours get off ranong at daybreak, then first minor scam we paid five gbp for 5 minute taxi ride. That won't happen again!

We were first at the departure pier 

Then the workers came. No palletised distribution or forklifts here it all came off lorry and onto boat by hand. Flip-flops football shirts and fags and a lot of sweating derigeur. 

Kids ran the ticketing show for a while

And then we arrived after two hours on the ferry.

And in our huge bay there really is no one here

Lots love guy
