Sorry about the wait everyone, it's been a pretty hectic week and a half! So when Nush last blogged we had arrived in sunny Koh Tao, Southern Thailand. This was our time to relax and re-energise before the second half of our trip, on a beautiful island renowned for it's beautiful beaches and in particular it's world-class yet cheap diving. Most people visit more than one island in Thailand, but we only went here because we were fairly short on time and everyone ...
