Koh Tao.

June 20th:
I caught the over night bus/ferry to Koh Tao, a late bus where I met a very cute couple from Malaysia; Chan and Catrina. Very useful for me because they gae me tips for their country.Didn't sleep too well on the bus, but didn't need it: the beach to come would provide time to shut my eyes. Met a guitar player named Dan on the ferry and we hit it off straight away. As soon as we landed we booked a twin room and headed to the beach. We played guitar, making up songs and lyrics, and juggled in the waves. Bit of snorkling, bit of sleeping, (rapidly followed by a bit of sun burn) and a good boozy night out. The snorking was amazing, even only a few foot deep. Amazing.


June 21st:
Early morning, catching the 8:30 boat out snorking all around the island of Koh Tao. First stop, Shark Bay... correctly named. Before I knew it two black finned reef sharks swam by me, elegantly floating in the water. Many other great sight, and I borrowed an underwater camera case so I have a few pictures! Highlight of today: having rice thrown at us in the water and the fish swimming around us, eating it all! One fish mistook my friend Matt's nipple for a grain of rice. CRUNCH!

An early morning trek across the island got me to freedom beach, 3 kilometers and a leter of water away! It's a beautiful secluded area with long white snady beaches. Dan had left that morning and Matt offered to put me up for the night! Sounds good! Matt told me about a nice dutch couple he'd met who talked about a bar with a swimming pool. Sounded good so off we went. Found a pool, a bar, some sun beds, very nice. It was only 20 minutes later that we realised we were in Koh Tao Resort, the most expensive place to stay on the island... freely using the pool. we stayed another few hours. We eventually found the right place that night and spent it having all our drinks baught for us! Bonus!
