Hey guys,

We are in Koh Tao, a charming little Island, north of Koh Phangan...

Came straight from Koh Samui on the ferry, only took a couple hours.

Koh Samui is a strange place; we went and saw a giant Buddha, which apparently is a highlight...hmm. Then at night we got a tuk-tuk to find some nightlife...went to Reggae-pub which was ok, had a live band on and pool tables...then we walked around a bit more to find loads of empty nightclubs and bars, all with a few locals stood there as if waiting for a million tourists were going to party there...they werent. Rounded a corner to find that all the tourists and party goers were in one little square with a load of bars and clubs. Was ok but the vibe was just a bit strange.

Glad to have left Koh Samui, beaches are nice but thats about it. Koh Tao on the other hand is much better, really little Island thats being preserved well. Lots of diving happens here....Talking of which, we begin our PADI open water dive course today, 3 day course and will mean that we can dive anywhere in the world, woop.

I had forgotten to mention something from when we were in Phuket...On the night out before getting the epic ferry journey, we went into a nightclub full of groping locals...There was this one guy there who looked exactly like Terry Tibbs, I went up to him and said "Talk to me"...he didnt get it. I asked if we could take some pics with him, he said "you dont just take pics of terry tibbs, let me tell ya...you've got to seduce me" ... He didnt really say that, he just said no. So we had to be really sly about it, managed to get some pics...waiting for them to upload now, but its taking ages again. These computers really are poor.


Ive decided to just wack all the pics on facebook in one lump...hopefully from descriptions Ive given on this blog, people will be able to work out where they are. who they are etc etc...this will be done soon so keep an eye out

Jay
