Farewell To All That......

This will be my last entry as early tomorrow morning we begin the journey home...Last night we went back to Fishermans Village on the north coast and early evening found ourselves a seat overlooking the ocean in The Crows Nest Bar which had half price happy hour from 4 to 11pm!!!(thats one long hour!) Needless to say we took full advantage, Nik had white wine (passable but got better with subsequent glasses) whilst i had house vodka and coke...a dangerous mix and so it proved as we returned to The Shack for another fantastic meal...salmon carpaccio and oysters to start followed by medium rare fillet each...more drinks...then Nik had irish coffee....we were more than a bit squiffy by the time we went for our final Thai foot massages and then a taxi home...fell asleep watching the football...did Newcastle win?
We have had a fantastic holiday and i hope the blog has informed and amused....see you back in the UK..

Drunk As A Skunk!!

Nik, a bit the worse for wear, tries her best to look sober for the camera.......NIL POINTS!!

Finding Nemo 2

What a fantastic morning fishing i have just had....began at 8am and soon caught a 40lb arapimah and a 15lb pacu (a relative of the piranah) , then a 50lb mekong catfish before i hooked and landed the 100lb plus arapimah pictured below. It was a truly magnificent and beautiful fish with red irridescent scales..a day never to forget.....

Not another fishing video?

Closing stages of fight with fish below...caught on a piece of fish and hooked less than 6 feet from the bank in 3 feet of water...it nearly pulled me in and pulled my arms off!! My largest ever fish by a mile!!

Get the chips on love.....

The end result from the above video....100lb plus of arapimah (not sure of spelling)

Our new pad.....

Good things come......

We were approached by one of the staff late yesterday and asked if we would mind having a villa upgrade for the last few days of our holiday? would we mind?...what do you think?
So we packed up our stuff after breakfast and later were installed into what can only be described as a medium sized house high up overlooking the sea. It has a fab terrace with sundeck, bath, and dining area and inside a huge bedroom, bathroom and seating area. I dont think Nik will be leaving here for the next 3 days!
I am going back to Top Cats tomorrow morning, getting up at 6.15 am and fishing until 2pm...will let you know on next blog how i get on.......
