Now it's really not what you think and I am actually OK too but I did have a moment and fell over on the way home, Grant and Nic will know the dangers of the trip and the extreme need for energy, in order to get to bed, especially for older generation that we are approaching!.
Any road up, I was on my way up the very steep hill following Chris who was keen to get to bed that night and I was following after a grand meal and a few drinks ( but not that many) for some reason I lost my footing on the steps and started to tip over so in order to stop myself falling I reached for our neighbours balcony to halt my progress, but sadly missed, one occasion that I have not been tall enough, so as a result I went under the balcony heading for the WALL! In an extreme feat of agility to miss the wall I turned and fell onto a small tree, which broke my fall, but the tree also. I must have said something like whoa what is going on and moaned abit as I went down as my neighbour jumped up and looked over the balcony to see me floundering on my back unable to get up as I am impaled upon the tree, but Chris by this time had realised my absence and come back down the hill to search for me. After helping me recover from my tortoise like position I recovered one of the cans of tonic I was carrying at the time of the fall and Chris recovered the other would you believe stuck between a fork in the branches of the tree, great place to put a can on your way down!
Apart from a graze on my back and the embarrassment with the neighbours all is OK in Koh Phangan. Incidentally the weather is good although slow to start up in the morning, but still a sort of desert island, good job I didn't slip my disc!
