We're in Thailand! How does that happen?
It is so beautiful here.
J: Yes, so hot here. C: It's very hot.
Oh yes. We're on the Island of Koh Samui, and we're going be staying here for the whole week. Yay.
We're currently on the Lamai beach where we are going to be staying for five nights.
I'm going to have to put these back on sorry. It's just too sunny. Haha.
In the Manathai Hotel, which is so it's lovely. C: Yeah very. J: It's really kind of colonial looking.
It's family oriented.
Yeah, it's got it's own little private beach bit. It's got a bar. Very important. J: Who doesn't love a beach front bar?
And then we're going to move two nights to a different part of the island just to see what that's like.
We're currently on the east side and then at the weekend at the end of the week,
we're gonna go to the north. I don't know how they can be the nicer than nicer beaches.
We're planning to do a little day trip. Maybe like. Ah ha
Go see more of the island, get a car.
And we'll show you all of that.
Not decided whether I'll drive or not.
They do drive on the same side of the road here and in Malaysia as well. J: You want to drive in Malaysia?
They don't do. Not in KL. Yeah, yeah
standard
signal.
Move thing. What is it? Signal, move maneuver. Mirrors, mirrors signal maneuver.
Yeah, I don't even have a driving license. They do it the other way around they kind of do.
Maneuver. Maneuver, signal, mirror free signal. If you're lucky
and now I'm gonna show you are absolutely amazing hotel room
Here's our view the beautiful jungle and these shutters of gorgeous and I'd like some of them at home.
And the room comes with a book about Buddhism.
And a writing desk so I can write my millions of postcards.
TV.
Lovely wardrobes with some drawers and.
Cushion.
Bathroom.
Bed!
Let's go to the pool!
C: Okay. Yeah, let's just shove our bikinis on quickly, grab our towels.
No I need my bag. I have to get my bag ready.
C: What do you need a bag for the pool for? J: Umm to bring everything!
I'm ready. Finally.
Good morning it is 8 a.m. And I have been awake since 5:30 a.m.
Yay, because I just wake up and pain and panicking about
life hahaha
and
Everything. So these weird things about chronic fatigue.
You don't actually sleep that much necessarily.
You're just tired.
I shouldn't really say just tired, because I have a whole video on how being chronic.
Having chronic fatigue does not mean you're actually just tired.
I'm in pain because even though, like I have sore feet from walking so much and oedema.
Which is essentially water retention and is the wordest word to spell.
Ever.
Because it begins with an O. And so like that it swells and make it go kind of purple
And they hurt a lot by the end of the day.
But they hurt a lot by the end of the day, and they go purple and you touch them and they go white. It's really weird.
But quite a cool party trick if you ever impress your friends
Get some edema. And then now I also have this massive
bug bite. which has become just the world's largest blister.
It's really gross haha.
I can't fit into any shoes except flip-flops.
I think I'm gonna try because today we're going on an adventure. Yes.
We've hired a driver because we were told that we would not
make it if we attempted to drive up to the hills by ourselves.
And we're going to go and see some beautiful old temples and
this gorgeous waterfall that is on an island.
Island near we are on an island a mountain. That's on a mountain in the middle of Koh Samui things
I'm really, really want to go and see.
Really, Oh pumped for the day.
But also my foot. Plus side, look at my cute pin curls.
Aren't they adorable. My hair's going to be so nice when I take it down.
Plus sides
In the car now, and I feel more like myself.
Good
And I think I look more like myself so I feel better that there is the way it works
So it's not hurting so much?
Oh, no it is but my hair's curled.
I also wore on my sunglasses.
I got them free with a magazine.
Did you?
I did yeah.
I think yours look you look so nice in sunglasses.
Thanks
So we got a private car.
Yeah, we're gonna go up into the mountains and see a waterfall and
there's temples.
Yeah see a few points.
Yeah exciting day
Update on my foot
It's very painful
I'm not gonna show you the bad side because that's gross and no one needs to see that
ever. Even I don't want to see it so bad.
I think you should show it.
Claudia said I should show it.
But that I think that should be some kind of warning though. It's gross.
Just show it. Just show it okay. If you don't like gross stuff then
skip ahead 20 seconds of this video.
That's quite long skip ahead 10 seconds of this video.
Hello again or welcome back so it's not only just a huge disgusting
blister with weird veins coming out. Because yes, this is what happens when I get an insect bite.
Why? Not only that it
literally feels like my leg is on fire.
I burnt my skin before. I can say that. It feels horrible.
And it's making on my nerves go weird all up my leg.
And down into my foot. So I keep doing this little nervy shake thing.
That happens whenever my nerves get activated.
No reason.
And, and my toes have gone numb. Lovely.
Ahh. But you know what? It's okay because my wife is just a lovely lovely person and
made our driver stop at a pharmacy and went in and found all the things I need. Such as
special ointment. She says pretending to read either the Chinese or the Thai. Oh wait it's in English.
Embarrassing. For the treatment of burns, scalds, chemical wounds and electrical burns.
We're supposed to heal the wound
and help with the pain. The special spray, which is is like a spray plaster, which I'm going to put over it?
It's still drying
But I'm going to put over it in a minute
So that I even freely roam without worrying about dirt to getting in it or something.
I never really think about what's gonna happen saying it will no longer be a blister.
Sorry.
Warning.
Warning graphic content. And what else does she get me? Oh antiseptic solution for when it.
Which is good?
always
Antiseptic. Very handy. Very handy.
It's also very important to have antiseptic solution in a place like Thailand.
Because it fights it protects against bacteria viruses and fungi.
Which is excellent because most of the toilets are just holes in the ground.
Hmm when your going to have to pee and you're really lucky if your legs
stay dry and clean. Oh God.
Doesn't bear thinking about. I'm so sorry mother. I know you're watching this. Just don't think about it.
And then enjoy some big soft pad
plaster things.
Adhesive gauze pad. Again for once it. As much as I, as much as I love medical supplies
my house is full of them. I was rather pleased with the next item that she bought wait for it.
Oh, it's Princess Ariel
marine magic setting powder.
That's so good.
It's oil control this powder and it has Ariel on it.
But what can you ask for really and it's from Korea and my sister-in-law
Julia specifically asked for Korean makeup. She's not getting this one, actually this one is mine.
Um, but I'll get her some kind of Korean makeup thing to take back to England. Hi also Julia.
She's a doctor so she may be watching with interest.
Supposed to the rest of you who are watching like please stop, move on Jessica.
I am. I'm moving on
To this other awesome thing we found.
They're post card cubes, and they come - I think this is right
It's from the actual Thailand
Thailand
I dropped it. It's from. It's from the Thai tourist trip tourists report tourist board.
I've taken some pills for the pain, okay.
Stuff's happening
and it's a postcard you can send but not only that
Look, it's an elephant.
And you just you put it out, and you stick it all together, and it makes a 3d elephant.
It's a postcard cube.
Excellent, what an excellent idea.
Delightful. And there's another one which is.
They come in a whole range of statues as well as elephants.
Well they seem to mainly be elephants. good choice. Elephants are awesome
A bit pooped now. It's okay.
Well hello. So this morning I'm feeling
rather poo. I sent Claud down to the beach all by herself which is
obviously if you know us that's very weird because when do we ever do anything apart um?
Because my foot really hurts and the the gross thing
That I showed you, has got worse unless I'm not going to show it to you now it got bigger and bigger and then
after seeking medical advice via whatsapp we decided
to pop it. And that sort of worked. And lots of disgustingness.
And it did sort of take the pressure off my foot, but then it grew back and sort of
grosser. So we tried to get rid of it again.
But it just won't go.
And then and now I have just an open wound, on my foot. It is about the size of the ten pence piece.
Which if you don't know how big or ten pence pieces is
I don't know that I can help you with.
But it's okay. It's covered in gauze. There you go. Oh.
But my whole foot just feels
awful. If you've ever twisted your ankle and that properly twisted,
sprained your ankle where you can't walk on it for a week. You will know this pain.
It's the feeling like there is fluid within your bones that is just
expanding in your bones, your muscles, your sinew. Every cell in your foot.
This is like it's just expanding. Come on my little foot. It's just all sore.
Which is poop because I'm we were also going to do like a really nice little
lookbook shoot today.
And I have some really pretty high heels, but I can't wear them.
That would be a next week's video. That's a reason to keep watching
Ridiculously, gorgeous shoes. In a few hours
I will join her, at the beach. Put a waterproof thing on it. Then I will just
chill. Not too good at that. I always get injured when I'm on holiday.
It's a classic family thing. Ask my parents. I think at this point
it's become humorous.
Jessica injures herself in some way.
Although I'd like to think this is injured by something,
because something bit me.
I didn't do the silly thing. Like when I tore my ligament that time, because I tripped over on sand.
