Arrived safely back to KK after an amazing time in Semporna and Mabul. ALL 21 of us achieved our open water Padi certificate and can officially dive anywhere in the world which we are all chuffed with including our dive instructors who are complete belters! our last dive consisted of 17 of us all diving together, the largest group the instructors have ever had - this is because they loved us! we had a night on Mabul island which was like paradise, 5 star luxury accommodation compared to our "interesting" hostels we have been staying in. beautiful beaches with amazing dive, we wish we were staying there for the 2 weeks. however we are back in KK and now face the jungle experience i.e "survival of the fittest" haha! having an awesome time and cant wait to come home to tell the adventures of TEAM TIM!
Love Vicky and Rachel W. x

Hi everyone In Team Tim and well done on passing your PADI ! Especial congrats to Judy! Good luck in the jungle - hope the bugs aren't too big and scary. Great to read all your news and look forward to seeing you all next week
ReplyDeleteLove Sue and Guy xxx
Hi Andrew Great to hear from you. The diving sounds awesome - night dive as well! Wow!! Glad you had time to chill out and enjoy your birthday before the jungle. Hope that all goes well and you learn loads that will be of use in Forfar and at Uni !! Have seen 2 Broadway shows so far - great fun and tonight off to Mamma Mia after I hit the shops. It's definitely a jungle here but probably a bit more comfortable than yours! Hope you're not too burnt!
ReplyDeleteMum is off shopping today whilst I go to explore USS Intrepid, an old aircraft carrier which was used in second WW and Korean war, and is now a Museum, with many warplanes.
Missing you and look forward to seeing you next week
Lots of love Mamma and Pops xxxx

ReplyDeleteJudy (and everyone for that matter), well done on passing your PADI - good luck with the jungle!!! Sounds like it is an amazing trip and you are all making the most of a fantastic experience! It is a beautiful day today - apparently the next few days are going to be an Indian Summer! I met Mrs Haggart for a coffee today and she asked me to say 'Hello' from her! See you all soon. Mr M
ReplyDeleteCongrats to everyone on passing their PADI. Now on to part two of your Borneo experience. I'm sure it will be just as good as part one. Are you managing to take photos Jas?! Katelyn is still expecting a big present!!
ReplyDeleteLots of Love Mum Dad & Katelyn<3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I've just 'googled' the island. It IS stunning! Well done to you all for passing your PADI exam.
ReplyDeleteGlad you all did so well in your diving, Mabul sounds and looks (I googled it) idyllic. We're all very jealous of you. Have fun in the jungle and keep your eyes peeled for a blow pipe for your little brov. Believe it or not he's really missing you. Watch out for the spiders because dads not there with a glass to catch them. Lots of love mum and dad xxx
ReplyDeleteSo, here's the thought I've been having. How about the kids save over the next couple of years and send THE PARENTS to Mabul in time for tattie hols 2012.......as I say, just a thought!
