Day 3 - Koh Tao, eventually!

Last couple of days have been quite an adventure! Yesterday the new year celebrations came to an end, which was quite a welcome change - was having trouble even getting out my hotel's front door it was so busy. By afternoon most people had put down the water pistols and gunky stuff, and it suddenly became much easier to meet people without all the chaos. Turns out loads of travellers had just opted to stay in their hotel rooms during the water war!

Found a nice little bar late last night with live music, had a beer and met a funny german dude. Certainly felt the 2hrs sleep though when i got up at 4.30am to catch the bus this morning! Bus ride took 6hrs (and we thought CORNWALL was bad, think james bond style driving but in a huge coach of about 50 people...!). So that was terrifying, quite an eye opener though seeing all the huts by the roadside so many thais live in. Then a 3hr boat trip to koh tao (a tiny island down south). I'm at a wicked resort, quite commercial but looking forward to meeting people tonight.
