So yesterday was a strange day. We arrived in the early hours on the morning on koh tao after a night bus followed by a feet from Bangkok. Unable to check into our hostel till 12 we hit up a cafe for breakfast. I say breakfast but due to the heat, I've pretty much been living off a liquid diet of water and smoothies (luckily the smoothies are very substantial).
After a wonder across to sairee beach to book some activities we headed back to the hostel to check in. Then after a nap hit up the beach and beach bar before an evening meal and early night. It was an emotional and tense day, home sick and tierdness are not a good combo. Hoping things will get easier but it's good to know we have options.
Today was an early start to get to sairee for our collection for a morning of absailing and climbing fraggle rock. This was an experience and a half with some incredible views (even if it was an exhausting walk up to the rock)! It was a small group of Laura and I along with a guy called Chris from Germany. He was a bit of a pro at the climbing sections as he does bouldering.... Watching him scale almost flat rock faces was deffinately impressive... Think I have some practising to do!
We have just collected our laundry (as you do) and are sat on a beach bar enjoying some smoothies before we head off UV snorkelling later. For those that don't know ( as I deffinately didn't) this is snorkelling in the dark with special goggles on which block out any remaining light enabling you to see the glowing coral and plankton!! Should be interesting for sure!
Anyway I should get back to my smoothie!!
Miss you all at home an awful lot! Lots of love xxxxx
