Koh Tao


We're on Koh Tao at the moment, we've been here for about 5 days and its gone so quickly, its so relaxing here and very beautiful..we could stay longer but we only have about 8 days left in s.e asia so we should move on!


We met a Scottish guy from Liz's diving group, Ross, that we've been hanging out with for the past few days. He's really lovely and we have hired bikes for us all to explore the island a bit more. This is a picture from last night at a nearby restaurant, i love the cushions-they look uncomfortable but they're completely the opposite!

Hill Top restaurant...the view over one of the southern beaches, me and Liz had to get off the bikes as the hill was so steep and they werent powerful enough! not much fun walking up there!

We were here for Thai New Year, the whole of Thailand celebrates with anything from 1 day to a week of soaking anything and everything! It was great fun and not long before we bought our own water guns..even if they were tiny at least we had something to fight back with!!!

The same day we joined Liz on her diving course so we could do some snorkeling, we headed upto Mango bay and spent the afternoon sunbathing, reading and checking out the coral...a lovely day! The boat was a bit of a party boat and everyone was getting into the new year spirit :)

Making the most of mark having his laptop with him..although can be a pain hunting for free wifi sometimes!

We had a giant boulder in our bathroom...it was very cool...although the windows were very see-through and showering involved regular checks to see if anybody was around!!
