We got up quite late (10am) and went in search of the pizza joint again after 11am. The lady that served us handed us menu's and when we declined them, she asked us if we were having the same as yesterday, which we were. Clever cookie. They switched their fans on and faced them towards us to cool us down. We were total sweaty Betties.She brought us 2 margarita pizzas and Cip's drink; we ate the cheese dripping pizza whole-heartedly in the aching heat and then wor...

We woke up after 9am and laid in bed until 10am, when we finally decided that paradise was calling and our tummies were rumbling. Food, we need food. We got up, got dressed and all made our way down to Walking Street, at least the 15 minute walk was along the beach, so that in itself made for a delightful outing.We wondered around for a while, looking for a pizza place and then stumbled upon an Italian joint (that was actually open and functioning) that had a spe...

It was an early morning start: we were being collected at 7.30am. We made our way to the corner where we'd been dropped off and sat with our bags at the restaurant that was closed, waiting for our lift.

He asked the driver if he was going to Koh Lipe and the guy shoved his hand in Edd's face in a 'talk to the hand' kind of gesture. T...

We woke up quite late, around 10ish and got ready for the day's adventures. We decided to take our new snorkelling gear with us for a test run and I packed a bag of other necessities (bug spray, sun cream, disinfectant hand wipes, etc) while Edd and his friend organised their mopeds.Edd needed a bit of a practise, so I walked while we went in search of his friend. He managed to get the hang of it and I hopped on the back, acutely aware of his lack of confidence o...

We'd bought plane tickets the night before, just before we went to bed (last minute dot com) and were being fetched at 8am to get taken to the old airport. (Price for flights for 3 people: £69 in total). It was amazing how you could fly across Thailand for so cheap, yet tuk tuk drivers tried to extort the most ridiculous amounts of money to go 3km's down the road. No sense. We had the choice of flying or a 24 hour bus ride down the coast, which none of us though...
