We survived the night boat without any sea sickness. Although we did feel like we were going to fall out of bed numerous times as the boat swayed in the rough sea. Today we got off lightly. Somewhere along our journey from Koh Tao our bags have been rifled through. - Yesterday we left the bags at the hostel all day as we had to check out at 11am and we're getting the boat last night at 9.30pm. - On the night boat last night we left bags in a pile with ...

On an Island known where there is talk of mafia making people disappear, what happened this morning was not a good thing. We couldn't get the argument out of the back of our minds. (Don't get us wrong it was hardly nothing, but we had engrossed ourselves in the media attention that the island gets and read stories of the Mafia). We feel we need to give more details about the rental/flat tyre incident. Especially after walking past the rock where the two Europeans...

The search began this morning for the "Giant sized" flip flops to replace Matt's time served predecessors. They had finally worn so thin that even the smallest of pebbles penetrated them. Never mind glass and sharp twigs. Matt has been hanging on to them to honour them to their death (a hole in the bottom) but after weeks and weeks of making do, he lost them in a bar the other night. Bummer. We managed to find the right size but not colour (Matt believes that hid...

The rain poured and poured. And because we have been having so much fun, we have neglected this blog so we thought we better use today to catch you all up with our goings on. One highlight of the day however was when Matt took our bike back. In our previous post we explained how helpful the guy was when we had a flat tyre....yes that's because he knew he was going to try and scam us out of 1500tbh when we took the bike back. There wasn't much Matt could do as...

Today started with a flat tyre on the moped. Luckily we weren't stranded as we were only a few hundred metres away from the rental place and had James as a chaperone, following behind Matty as he very slowly rode the bike back. The guy was cool and swapped it over no problem....very surprising. Through the intermittent rain we managed to enjoy a chunk of the day on Freedom Beach, with its clear water we dared to enter. We decided to book night fishing wit...
