Right so im just gonna throw myself into this one in the hopes to get this done aswell. On the boat to koh tao, and char wanted to do this 3 day diving course so we spoke to this woman who suggested it and headed for that place big blue diving when we got off the boat, saw Loi as we left she was very excited to see us bless her. Then headed to this school, they told us it would be free accomodation but when we got there we were told there was only dorms or we pay 500 for hotel room, not impressed tehy had said on boat free accomodation but apparently a couple had just got the last one. After haggling abit we got two nightd free in this hotel and last two for 500, Char decided she wanted to do the course. Im alright ta, not a big fan of the water any fish bigger than my hand is considered a shark to me haha. So we went back to the hotel had a little lie down and char headed for her first class. She had to do schoolwork and got to do 4 dives aswell so thats cool, in 3 days they managed to fit in alot. Char went off for her 5pm class and i decided to do some washing give my mother a call and sort myself out. After char returned we went for some dinner and a beer, Ihad schnitzel from a place called the brother was very nice. Char had to be up and about by 8.45 following day so had a reasonably early one and went to bed. The next day char went off and i got up just after her and headed for the beach, the sun was in and out all day but still managed to burn (yes dad im using sun screen) And then headed bk out to watch liverpool vs man u game. Had been feeling nervous all day but all went amazing and suarez proved a god in my eyes, eating schnitzel (again) drinking strawberry daiquiris, Dirky boy gettin a hattrick, suarez playing like a god and nice lil crush on Carroll, well that sorted out my sunday night for me indeed :) i left a very happy jenni! Fred text to say he was in koh tao when liverpool beat man u 4-1 aswell which was quite amusing.

The next day i walked to meet char at half 11 as was told could go on boat with her while she did diving but char wasnt told u had to let them know in more time so i just had a little walk around, on the first day i walked for about an hour into nothing so knew not to go that way. Me and char had a toastie from 7 11 and then i headed home for a nice nap....i did read a hell of a lot with char doing her diving tho,..2 books in 2days i think. That night we went for dinner in a bar called Choppers and had a good laugh, we couldnt get buckets as char was up at 6.45 the following day so stuck to the beer. Char just had half day following day so when she got back around 12 and all qualified we sorted ourselves out and i went to 7 eleven for our trusted toasties. It was raining that night...what happened to the sunshine. Went for an early dinner as char had to meet the people to get her blog filled in at 6.30. ordered a cheese burger but it was red inside...i was not eating that i hated to complain but char agreed it was too red to eat, so i asked if i could have rice instead....they cant get that wrong can they...how wrong i was the rice was bland and the chicken was goeey i gave up on the eating idea and we were off to watch char on film. it staretd raining terrentially so char bought a mac from 7 11 and looked uber cool in it haha...her dress was see through though so can see why she did it. The film was really good saw clips of everyone diving and what they saw was very interesting. Had a few beers there talking to ben one of the guys on chars team, and then we headed for chopperes for 2 buckets before we gave up and headed home, to stop off on way to buy some water and these amazing kebab things from the stall. Gorgeous sauce.

The next day we moved hotels, chilled out and rented a dvd player and loads of dvds, going the distance, kickass, get him to the greek and couple of others was really good and we stayed in bed watching dvds all day. Next day we had a boat trip around the island so got picked up at 9 and then headed to the boat. The weather was really bad again and everyone was screaming on the boat as the waves went over us all and soaked us it was like some sort of theme park ride, we couldnt do snorkelling at shark bay cos of the weather (such a shame cos i wouldve been first out of that boat) so we headed for mago bay and japanese gardens. Japanese gardens were really nice to snorkel and i found myself quite enjoying it. But i did get abit bored after a while. Then we stopped off at nuang island or something, it was gorjus the most beautiful place iv been, white sand blue crystal waters loved every minute of it...Also had an amazing banana chocolate shake which made me happy also. As was getting back on the boat my flip flop snapped, great one shoe for the ride home then...na i threw them both away so was barefoot till we got back and i managed to buy some from a very friendly man. Got back to land and bought another one of those kebabs and a lemon shake (both amazing and extremely cheap) and headed to pack and stuff as we left the next day. Forgot to mention how bad our second hotel smelt, not the rooms luckily but in the hallway it was full of vegetables so mustv been that but it ws so bad it made feel physically sick. On our last night we had dinner at place called Hippo bar which char read was recommended by lonely planet was amazing we shared quesidallas and i had beef fajitas very good food, however i was very full. Went to choppers again and shared a bucket this time it didnt go down very well and i had to stop drinking it that mixed with the smell of the hotel as we walked in made me a very sick jenni. :( I dont think char was too well either maybe a bit of sea sickness from that day,

Anyway the next day we were off to Koh Phangan island number 3 .............
