Green Mango

Last night was saturday night and that means party time. There's no training on sunday so there's no reason to not get drunk and dance. We had a great night. It's still not as great as last year though, I miss the people that were here a year ago. Everything changed, nothing is the same but other than that I still had a great night last night with these amazing people. The only thing that didn't change since last year is the playlist at Green Mango. I'm happy I can still sing along to almost every song they play. Today it has been rainy and cloudy again all day so hopefully tomorrow the sun will come out again. I need to work on my tan before I go back to Sitmonchai. Yesterday we went shopping in Nathon, I'll post some pictures of that later. Now I got to go eat my chicken. Take care!

Happy times with Fleur

More happy times with Mimi

And I decided to weigh-in on the way home..

Training at Superpro

And unlike what the pictures and the rest of the stories might seem to tell, we still train twice a day. Two hours every morning, two hours every evening. Running, kicking pads, bag work, clinching, teeps, elbows and more. Training is still going well but I am taking it a little easy. Here it's more about having fun than training my ass of. I will get to do that when I go back to Sitmonchai next wednesday. It's good to be back with my trainers here. We're having a blast. Training is so much fun, every day, over and over again. So for now, let the good times roll. These were taken at training yesterday morning. 

I got the sun in my pocket

Yeah, sun is back! That only means one thing; BEACH. 

Of course couldn't go without a nice massage after a hard training session..

I have to admit; life's hard. 

Nah, just kidding. Life's easy. I love my life.

Torrential Downpour

We went to Big Buddha the other day. As a tradition we always go there, refresh our blessing, walk around for a bit, touch the green dragon for good luck on your next fight and just too enjoy the nice scenery and calmness that this place has to offer. The day started of really nice but halfway through all hell broke loose and it started raining like crazy. And it didn't stop! It just kept going, all day long. We had to drive back on our motorbike but halfway back it was not fun anymore so we abandoned the motorbike and got a cab back. We felt like we had almost drowned. Like the next day the weather cleared up again. I've seen enough rain in Holland, here I just want sun. Luckily we got the sun back now!

This is what happends to Samui when it rains. You get to swim. The roads literally disappear. But we did have a good laugh about it. 

Torrential downpour, I've always wanted to use those words. And now I can! Torrential downpour, that's what went down that day.

After training it finally stopped raining so we went to get dinner at the local food market in town. Gotta love noodle soup and chicken! 

Bophut Fisherman's Village

Some pictures of today. Life's good. 

Breakfast, no rice!

 Yeah, today was a good day.

Pai thie Koh Samui

Koh Samui time! After almost missing my flight yesterday I made it to Koh Samui in one piece and arriving at the gym felt like coming home. It literally feels like I was here yesterday, not much has changed and everything is the same. Like I never left. My close friend Sheena is here as well, so these next two weeks should be great. This morning I started training here and it such a relief that training here starts at 8.00 in the morning. It actually feels like sleeping in! After training we went to get some breakfast and then we had to do some important stuff; BEACH. At Sitmonchai it's so hot and nowhere to go for a swim so having the ocean here (and a pool at the gym) is awesome to say the least. So we spend some time at the beach, worked on our tan and then headed back to the gym to sleep a bit before the afternoon training starts. That will start in a bit. Here are some pictures of today. Enjoy.

Made it just in time for my flight..

AAAAND WE'RE BACK. BEACH.

We stumbled upon an icecream-seller that happend to be the exact same person we talked to for ages last year on my final day on Samui. He remembered us and sang us a little song before persuading us into buying an icecream off of him. We did buy the icecream, and this guy was great. He'll probably still be here next year!

Yes, I definitely need to work on my tan.

And Sheena

Riding around on motorbikes all day long, sweeeet
