We started the day in Bangkok. Hot, bothered and annoyed. Thankfully Laura our lovely new aussie friend met up with us there and lifted our spirits. After that things were'nt so bad as they started. We had a teary goodbye and made our way to Koh Tao taking the night train that turned out to be surprisingly comfy. 8 hour train ride with a three hour boat trip we finally arrived on the island. Gunna suffered a bit on the boat claiming it was sea sickness but I think it's because she's turning into a daydrinker. "seasickness" yeah right....
We looked at a couple of guesthouse bungalows but ended up taking 2 days at a less than charming place. We just could'nt be bothered walking more with our backpacks in 35 degrees! I hopped out rented a scooter and snorkling kit and went snorkling. Meanwhile Gunna took a nap. Seasickness still bothering her?
We had lunch a felt very sorry for ourselves. As we walked about in town we passed a really cool hotel by the beach. It's only been open for ten weeks. We joked about we should just fuck it a check in there to save ourselves from the crummy bungalow hell we had. After a few minutes we were already checked in there!!! Hey we were having a bad day and needed a little pick me up. And if that includes a pool, beachbar and a lovely restaurant so be it! =) Bungalow out - amazing hotel IN! This is our first and last splurge..... or so we say.
I've gone diving here and its so beautiful. Never seen anything like it. Tomorrow i might go again, still need to see a shark. So that will be my mission tomorrow. As i write this Gunna is on the hotel rooftop roasting. I guess i better go turn her over.
Lots of love,
Kiddi and Gunna.
