Koh Tao

I left Joel in Bangkok last week and have spent the last week of my travels with Alaistair and Chris. We flew down to Koh Samui (it was so great to be back on a plane after three and a half months of long and painful bus journeys!) and spent a night in Fisherman's Village which was very pretty.

We've spent the past seven days in beautiful Koh Tao. It's rainy season here at the moment although we have been pretty lucky with the weather and had mostly sunny days. Before we arrived there was 72hours of constant rain on the island so the tide is really high on the beach, its literally all sea and no sand until after sunset, so we have to practically swim from our hotel to the bars and resturants. But, luckily we have a pool at our place so we've spent all our time lazing around the pool, making the most of my last few days of sunshine.

There has been a royal funeral in Thailand this week so a lot of the bars and resturants closed for five days so we had some pretty chilled nights when we first arrived. They all opened again on Tuesday so we were back on the buckets and down to the beach to watch the amazing fire dancers.

Yesterday, we decided to be a bit more active and went on a snorkelling trip and we spent a couple of hours at some beautiful islands, which are all connected by small beaches, so you can walk from one island to the other. It's quite bizzare but absolutley gorgeous. We walked up to the top of one of the peaks and the views up there were amazing!

Tomorrow we leave Koh Tao and spending my last night in Koh Samui, then I'll be back in Hong kong by Saturday night. I'll be really sad to leave the boys but can't wait to see everyone back in Hong Kong!!
