Koh Tao - Diving, Sharks and Island Life

OK, so what exactly were we up to in Koh Tao??! Well, firstly we did the scuba diving, it was the coolest thing we've done so far I think! It was so much better than I hoped for. The whole theory was a bit boring at times, but the instructors were quite entertaining which helped! Anne, a Danish lassie was looking after us lot, and she was a bit mad (very much like my mates at home), but I think she had lost the ability to chat outside of the whole scuba thing, just a diver thing though! The only cure being leaving the whole scene!

We saw loads of lovely things down under, Sea snakes (very rare, we saw lots, Col is very good at spotting them), Butterfly fish, Angel fish, Bat fish, Banner fish, Clown fish (Nemo!), Trigger fish (aggressive lot!) and lots lots more! Had a wicked time! "For Sure"! "Baby"! Heheheh!!

 

Missed Eric's gig in Koh Samui, might not get to see the great Loso in action now...Grr...!! Think we just need to buy a CD and rock out that way! Maybe we'll get to see the man one day!

Then we missed Fullmoon Party over at Koh Panyan as Col managed to get another bad belly (not sure if it was the porridge fest or what)... Were meant to meet up with Alex and Mike, would have been so cool, but will just have to catch up with them back home. If there's a wedding we better be there ; )

Soooo, the last few days we spent trying to catch sight of some sharks. We stayed in a little bay called Chalok Baan Kao at a place called Tropicana, beautiful!! Luxury! Around the next bay was Shark Bay, we went snorkelling there sooo many times but saw nothing!! Argh! A bit disappointing! I wanna swim with sharks! OK, just have to hope there'll be more sharks!

 

Left Koh Tao yesterday morning. Were woken up at 4am by lightening and thunder and the loudest rain. It poured down all morning. Had booked ticket all the way to Krabi... Had to use 11 modes of transport to get here...! 11!!! A little unbelieveable!!! I reckon that's about 9 more than normal! Hahah! We made it though! Oh, one of my bag straps snapped off too! Just shows how heavy my bag has become! Need to get a tailor to fix it for me... Just got caught in the rain though, monsoon season and all that... Can see the sun peeking through now though so time to make a move I think! Gonna get some pics on here first me thinks! Will try to make you a little jealous!xx
