Ki'ora: Evan

Aaah, my crazy kiwi winner of a friend!!! A fellow face-licker, closet nature-documentary lover, keeper of random knowledge (therefore not too shabby in a pub quiz), advocate for the belief that if you were at sea it would be useful to employ some dwarves, who could carry limes on ammo belts about their person to compliment tequila, rum and prevent scurvy, and my fellow Brightonian friend came along and joined me for a couple of the weeks I was on Phi Phi.



He unfortunately never got round to getting a bamboo tattoo of a trout riding a tricycle on his back, nor frangipani coming up his side over his shoulder and up his neck as he had hoped :( However the ocassional drinks may have passed our lips here and there!!! He made a fabulous boy toy and member of Team Jesus for D.D., drinking comrade for Archibald 3rd (also on a wee visit up from the wedding on Lipe), regular piece of furniture at viewpoint pool and bar, and dancing partner, all-round friend for me:)I have even forgiven the up-chuck his first night upstairs in my mates bar, Tiger...(forgiven, yet find hugely amusing)

Evan and Fausto at Tiger.













Arcie and Evan













We trekked up to viewpoint (after a heavy night, in the midday heat requiring me to pause about 6 times on the climb), down through the jungle to Runtee Bay for a spot of snorkelling, bouldered over to Loh Moodee, and Long Beach one afternoon...pretty active huh? Anyhoo basically Evan saw his first shark...yeah!!!! Blacktip Reef Shark!!!
It was also a constant source of interest to see what Evan would find each day to replace his ear plug piercing...varying from frangipani, dead coral, pink straws to bamboo...such initiative!!!













The original plan was that Kiwi Boy, Dave-cat, was due to join us too on his flight back from N.Z. All did not go to plan though, and being easter etc., he was unable to bring his ticket forward so remains in kiwi-land until the end of May.
