Arriving into the port of Koh Tao was breath taking - it was absolutely gorgeous! Photos wouldn't be able to do it justice, though I did take a few. Tom and I got off the ferry and to our delight, the hotel was only 5 minutes away. After a few wrong terms and a bit of snapping after our tiring overnighter, we finally found Baan Suan Ta Hotel, just off from the beach. It was pretty decent for a last minute booking and luckily we were able to check in. The fi...

We woke up bleary eyed at half 6 and made our way out to the hotel lobby to await our minibus. It turned up on time and we clambered in the only two seats available, the two next to the driver. He seemed fairly stern at first but we soon noticed his soft side as whenever he saw a temple he would bow his head and put his hands together in prayer - which was somewhat alarming as he was driving. He also kept pointing things out on the horizon and mumbling titbits ...

Tom and I awoke at 9 (I allowed him a lie in) and we went for breakfast down the road. He experienced his first fry up over here, complete with dodgy frankfurter sausages.

I woke up earlier than my set alarm at Jekky's homestay due to the heat as there was only a fan blowing hot air at me in the night.

I had a rather relaxed morning eating my 7/11 croissant and Oreos in bed and reading/watching YouTube videos. By the time I left at 10 I was buzzing with excitement about seeing Tom after so long - I kept on getting tears in ...

We woke up at 6am on our bus and felt relatively fresh as it was sunny and we had a good sleep. I'd found wifi on the bus and realised we were only 10 minutes walk from our guest house so decided to go straight there. Luckily we found it relatively easily and our room was ready for us to check in way earlier than expected. We dumped our bags, found out we could book the Vinpearl park through reception and then went for an early breakfast kneeing we had a taxi bo...
