So we've got to Koh Samui, we got a minibus on Monday morning which was a really nice one with good air con, so a much better journey, and the boat journey was good too it took an hour and a half but lovely views of the small islands!! We arrived about 4.30pm in Chaweng on Koh Samui (we just got on the bus (like an extended tuk tuk)to get to this beach) and trekked around a bit with our backpacks on (not good in the heat here!) to find a hostel/guesthouse.

The journey down here yesterday was going well when at 6.30pm we got on a massive airconditioned bus where the seats reclined and they played a couple of films before we all went to sleep.

We have booked tickets for an overnight bus...

Anyway once we'd arrived we jsut dropped our bags and then had a walk up Khao san rd which was b...

So we left Tokyo early on Wednesday morning to get the metro (90 mins) back to the airport, we checked in and then spent the remains of our yen on some brekkie before we got on our flight. The flight was fine, took about 4 hours Im getting a bit bored of watching the same flims though now I think Ive seen all the ones Cathay pacific are showing so roll on a new airline soon! lol When we landed we got the bus to causeway bay which took about an hour but only cos...
