Week 7- Thailand (Koh Tao) Day 1 So last night was a bit of a disaster I had sudden sickness from about 1am and was ill throughout the night then when we got up at 5am ready for our flight I found out Gem had also been sick.

We were hoping for a lay in today, however, sleeping is cheating so up we got! We had breakfast included with our room so we headed down to the dining area.
