We arrived by ferry from Phuket, took about 2 hours, on aturday. The ferry ride was suprisingly good... very hot though. When we arrived we had to again look for accomodation - we have been pretty laissez - faire with accomodation recently, tend to just blag it when we arrived on the islands or in Phuket. We must have walked for only 10 minutes, but with th eisland heat and our big packs on it seemed like forever. We looked around several accomodation but to our ...

We arrived in Phuket on the 13th (Thursday) after a one and a half hour ferry ride and a seven - eight hour bus ride from Koh Samui. We jumped into a taxi at the bus station to go to our destination, which wasn't actually a taxi. When we got in it, Loz and I were trying to find the taxi meter or a badge or anything but to our worry we couldn't find anything. Don't worry though, we got there safely. We're staying in Patong Beach and as we hadn't booked anywhere a...

The path down to the actual resort was very steep, buggy and in the middle of nowhere (around 100metres l...

We were dreading the bus ride but it was an awesome bus with big reclining seats and hardly anyone on so we could spread out so I slept most of teh way. Got to the place around 5am where we had to wait 2 hours before we could board the catamarran that would take us to Ko Tao in just un...
