| If we could sum up the Full Moon Party in one picture - this would be the picture... |

Hard at work on the blog, before the
main event of the day |
 |
| The rope of death... |
Today was a big day, or perhaps I should say night… Yep, the full moon was
on us, and there is only one thing to do on Full Moon Eve on Koh Phan Ngan, and
that’s head to Hat Rin beach and P.A.R.T……Y? Because you gotta! The weather was
pretty much the same as the previous day, although we were hoping the night wouldn’t
be the same – there had been a pretty serious thunder and lightning storm
through the night which Tony had managed to sleep through but Annaliza was pretty
convinced the bungalow was heading into the sea! Luckily throughout the day we
had ample time to charge our batteries and physc ourselves up for the night’s
shenanigans…

| Just plain foolish |
 |
| Cheers! |
 |
| Which stall to choose? |
The boat journey itself was a hotbed of expectation of what lay ahead –
unfortunately it was packed with Frenchies so couldn’t quite be enjoyed as
desired… Upon arrival, we did a quick up and down of the beach, marveling at
the fools who were getting involved in the flaming skipping rope. A quick way
to get an expensive trip to hospital! By then, we’d discovered our preferred
bucket vendor, and ordered two of his finest…

| A picture tells a thousand words! |
Several hours later…
 |
| Sunrise was a bit of a blur for some... |
 |
A nice sunrise, but why oh why would
you swim in the s(p)ea? |
Our dancing shoes had been worn out, and our voices (and heads!) were a
little bit worse for wear. We enjoyed watching the sunrise (actually, watching
the earth rotate into the part of the sky where the sun is!) on the beach, to
the dulcet tones of hardcore dance music pumped to beyond the capacity of the
speaker system being used. Lots of people were still raving, and a few were
raving mad to be swimming in the water after having witnessed most people using
it as a convenient toilet all night!
 |
Couldn't believe the amount of
people still going strong! |
After a delightful ham
and cheese toastie and healthy coke for breakfast, the boat back was equally
amusing as the Frenchies were on surprisingly good form – no matter the
language barrier you can always share a joke at the expense of a group of
people who are on the brink of illness arising from drink…
Key Learnings:
1. So many to choose from... Full moon party isn't a place for inhibitions, for most people that is (obviously we were sensible at all times!)
