4th December Time to pack up and leave - was hell trying to pack up the rucksacks again. We all check out and catch the bus into town, grab a few last minute things and then catch another taxi to the ferry port. The ride over to Ko Tao was ROUGH! Started off alright but we must have hit some sort of storm as the seas became decidedly choppy!
