Sunset in Perth

January has been a busy month. Mainly we have been working hard and kite surfing in the evenings. Average temperatures have soared throughout January to a 30 degree average, which sounds fantastic however days of relenting heat can get tiring. I think i have seen rain around 10 times is six months! Tomorrow is Australia day a nationwide of all thing 'Aussie' so I will be post some more photos then.


Cottesloe beach Perth (15 minutes from our door)

sunset

Injured again!

More for my records really! I managed to start nailing backflips on my kiteboard lately however on one one sloppy landing i managed to bend my knee like a plastic ruler in the wrong direction resulting in a buckled knee, docs tomorrow i think! Whats worse is no Kiteboarding!

BBQ - An Idiots guide

Step 1: The trick to using a Gas BBQ? Get it smoking and and slap on your meat. Ensure you have a beer in hand for this technical process involving heat and of course timing.

Step 2: Whilst waiting for the salad enjoy another cold one after all in such a hot climate one must keep the body cool and hydrated.

Step 3: Sit back, relax and tuck in.

Step 4: keep the eskies stocked and iced up.

next week I shall be cooking up the perfect snag and recommending some local brews.

Well as promised i have finally taken the time to compile some of the better frames from our two week holiday in Thailand. I have placed the images in the order they where taken to give you a flavor of our trip.















The grand Palace Bangkok















Big Bhudda



















Me and the Monkeys i know i should have down the monkey pose!















The Journey South toward Ko Samui Overnight Train was fun this vehicle included no mod cons however it did have a party carraige which homed its own karaoke session and lady boys for hire.















This is a Songthaew or Baht Bus - either way it is a piece of shit and we spent a lot of time in the back of these vehicles experiencing breakneck speeds and near death experiences.



















This Mummified Monk is about 60 years preserved, the best part is the blues brother shades. Quite disturbing really.















Ko Sok National Park - A rain forest region, a real jewel unfortunately for us it lived up to the name rainforest and rained for exactly 48hrs!



















Our canoeing day trip turned out to be a 60minute passenger ride in an inflable toy boat, It was still fun though and we spotted numerous snakes, monkeys and a BIG lizard.















Then we waited some more before being transported to a village on stilts and the infamous 'James Bond Island'

Surf Cam

Decided to take my camera into the ocean this morning. It was a glorious morning with blazing sunshine and not a breath of wind. Capturing the images was tricky but i managed to squeeze a few interesting angles.
