Minirolls Musings

Final Dives

Our last full day on Koh Tao and we head straight for our favourite breakfast spot. A bamboo restaurant nestled between concrete 2 housing blocks with a good view, and breeze, from across the bay. Aimi thinks it’s strange, but I was happy to find peanut butter and banana on toast on the menu. Which means it’s popular enough to not be strange!

The Food Spectrum

Well… I say we are “get up and go” people, but the last few days have not shaken out that way. Again we rose late and being the laziest of all laziness, we had breakfast at the hotel. It was cheap and good (fresh fruit and yogurt) and allowed me to go straight back to the air conditioned room and do some much needed work.

Turtle Island

Aimi must have recharged her batteries yesterday enough that she wanted to come diving today. It was much better weather and as luck would have it, we got the whole boat to ourselves!

Technically NOT Cave Diving

Today started with rain. Torrential, hard, thunderous rain. We had risen, and just as we were ready to go, it let up just enough to start walking. Its a 30 min walk from our end of the bay to where Mojo are based, but about half way it started getting heavy again and we ducked into a random restaurant for breakfast.

Critters & Caterpillars

What’s the last thing you want to find in your room after a long day out? Termites… or at least as far as I could tell, with a bit of googling, that’s what they were.

Islandy Hopping

Well we are ploughing thru money wayyyy faster than expected. Thailand is not as cheap as you’d expect… well not in the touristy expensive parts, which I guess is not that surprising after all. So while this is our honeymoon and some minimum level of comfort is required, we might need to curb some expenses and choose things a little more carefully.

Recovery Food

What a great night! There is no waiting around in pubs for the clubs to get “good” at midnight, like in the UK. Here, everything kicks off at 7pm as soon as the sun sets. So when we got in at about 2am, that had been a great but long night partying. The beach was still in full swing but we were fucked.

Full Moon Party. Rev 2

This morning we committed to a lazy day, knowing this evening was going to be a big party.

Rainstorms & Sunsets

We had kept it a quiet one last night. Not the “let’s just have a quiet one” after work on a Friday. That never ends up being either quiet or just one. We had had a long day and so just a few beers and a stroll before bed was nice. This meant we were up comparatively early, for Haad Rin, and could go exploring today.

Welcome to Haad Rin

Is it already time to leave Bangkok? We have done so much it feels like we have been here a week, not just 3 days. Cherry got us a local priced taxi. 250B to DMK airport, made the 10 min tuktuk ride last night for 200B feel expensive. Ah well, tourist tax.
