Island Adventures...



So we're on Koh Tao now, tiny little island off the south east coast. Having a fantastic few days rest before setting off on the "real" travelling...

Staying in a lovely little hut with all mod cons. Fan, cold shower, broken bum hose. (For those not in the know, the bum hose is what Thais use instead of loo roll.) Ours is a bit dangerous to use if youre dressed. Works ok for a second before the head flies off and high pressure water sprays in every direction. Getting used to it :)

Have met up with plenty of people I met 4 years ago doing the divemaster and went out for pints last night. We're turning into such oldies - 11pm is the latest we've managed to stay out before collapsing into bed. Must be the heat!

Out on the boat most afternoons and progressing the skin baking. Had a few dives too - great to be back in the water doing the one sport that Im still better than Dave at!!!! And the biggest bonus of the boat is theres a tiny ginger cat that lives there. He wanders around on the deck and is super friendly.

Thats it for the moment, Missing you all (but not missing home!)

X Sian (& Dave beside her)
