Time to Dive - Blogabond

We left Kanchanburi at 2.30pm on Wednesday, this was a straightoforward minibus back to Bangkok which took 3 hours. Our VIP coach arrived at 7.15pm, but unfortunately it was overbooked, we ended up perching on a bench for 8 hours, which was superior to the alternative offered which was sleeping behind the back seats on the floor! We arrived at the boat harbour at 3.15, and had to wait until the boat left which turned out to be around four hours later. After no sleep we were looking forward to resting on the boat but the air conditioning was set to "freeze" and even though outside was warmer, it was blowing a storm. By the time we arrived at Koh Tao, which is a few hours north of Koh Samui, at 10.30 in the morning we were dispirited to say the least, and not exactly sure what to expect. Well these two photo's will let you know why we've travelled this far, and why at the end of it all we have absolutely no complaints.

We are going to start our 4 day diving course on Saturday in and around the very waters pictured above. We will let you know how that one goes, but we have got to go and do some studying for now. All the best. Tim.

funny, most people loose weight when they've been travelling.
