Place: Koh Phangan to Koh Tao

Weather: hot and sunny

I was woke up earlier than my alarm today because I knew I had to get up in time. The packing needed to be done and I had to get to the doctors before I left and I had no idea how long that would take. Luckily we were all just about ready at 11 to be picked up by our taxi to take us to the ferry port.

The ferry took about 2 hours but most of the time we slept on it so it flew by. Just before we got to the Island I went up to the roof of the boat with Carmen to hang my legs over the side.

When we arrived there were loads of dive centre reps trying to get us to go with them. We stuck with the one that Neils had heard good things about which was called Big Blue. They gave us a free lift to the resort and showed us around the accommodation. We all decided to stay in air con dorm rooms which were only 200Baht a night (£4 ish).

The resort is amazing, right on the beach with a restaurant looking out to the sea. We sat there for most of the evening and chilled out; read a book, listened to music and had a bbq. They have performers on the beach who play with fire sticks and throw it about which is absolutely amazing to watch. Chilling out for the night was really nice, and we went to bed nice and early J
