Koh Tao

We arrived about mid morning, the heat had already reached at least 32 degrees with a humidity of about 60% so we were literally dripping with sweat, as disgusting at that may sound, by the time that we had walked through six different resorts to find the accommodation we liked best.

We finally found our little dream bungalow in the Sea Shell Resort on Sairee beach +/- 3 minutes drive from the main Pier.

We had a good rest, switched the fan to blow full speed and then we went off to inspect the rest of the resort. We immediately found the resort dive shop and of course it was situated right across the beach bar, so we had a cocktail each and had a nice long stroll along the beach to figure out our plan of action for the next two days...

We woke up very early, as in I mean at 3 in the morning with this screetching sound coming out of the bathroom. It sounded similar to some sounds we had heard outside before and Eugene and I both thought that it was some sort of strange bird. I thought that this bird somehow got into the roof of our bungalow and was now battling to find its way out.

Eugene of course refused to go and check it out, so it was up to me (Just call me Sherlock Holmes) from now on, who got up and very bravely went into the bathroom. Only to find this GIANT lizard thing eyeballing me out of the cornor. I think I was pretty close to a hart attack, and Eugene got up pretty quickly after I ran over him and refused to get off the bed, or sleep any further if he didn't get rid of this thing immediately.

The rest of the day was pretty peacefull, we rented a small motorbike and went for a lazy drive around the island, drank cocktails at various points and found this amazing spot were we decided we would return to the next day to go and do some snorkeling as we couldn't dive due to Eugene's ears.

We had a great time on the Island, we found the most fantastic spots on the Island to watch the sunsets from, whilst sitting on bean bags with your feet in the sand and Thai people doing fire shows and exotic dancing in the background.

We will go and visit again one day...
