Hi All,
Well I am now are qualified diver. Yes, while on Kho Tao I took the plunge and did my PADI open water dive course. At first it wasnt what I expected but once I got going and got to act as a fish, then I loved it. The worse thing was that the weater wasnt too goo for our last day diving so we didnt get to swim with the sharks! I will just have to keep diving to I find them.
Before that I left Kanchanburi and traveled down to Sauri Thani over night on the bus and being dropped off at 5am to wait for the 8am ferry to Kho Samui. It was a long wait but once started the time past pretty quickly.
Arriving on Samui we were transported to our A frame bungalows on Lami Beach. It was awesome to open the door and step straight out on the sand. After several realxing days around samui (except when at the pub cheering the STORM to victory), it was time to say goodbye and head back to school on Kho Tao.
Anyway I have left Thailand and am now in Penang, Malaysia to start my last week here in SOuth East Asia before I head to my 2 week tour of the top end before deciding to head to Melbourne and stop and have a holiday at home for a while.
I hope this finds you well and see some of you very shortly.
Love Lisa
