No emails or text from Crystal, so yet another day off.  Obviously the Full Moon party goers have not hit Koh Tao.  So feeling lazy, we caught up with emails, watched TV and Simon put the finishing touches to the Rock Band drum set, so the only thing to do was to try it out.   It took some time getting used to it again but after a few songs, we rocked!!  😀

After a lazy morning/afternoon I decided to meet up with the cycling team, which consist of half a dozen Thai guys, all with very expensive mountain bikes and one western chap  ..who used to cycle courier in his youth.  So thinking I’d be the one holding the group up on the hill climbs, I ended up being one of the strongest which I was so relieved about and the guys were pretty amazed.  YAY!!

I was so pleased that I text Si. 

As it was such a lazy day yesterday  ..Kirsty and I decided to do some exploring.   I started off by cycling to Sairee to find out the start/routes for this years Koh Tao Festival cycle ride which I fully intend to do   ..although I’m undecided to which route (easy/hard) to take, as I’ve not been been that strict with myself.  So don’t want to lag behind on some of the long hill climbs  ..but still a few days to train 😀

So along the way I met Alan & Heidi, the couple who we’d first stayed with on the island for a little chat and then cycled towards the resevoir, hopefully meeting Kirsty on route.   Expecting to catch up with Kirsty as I neared the dam, I was amazed to see her at the top, laying in the shade.

It took both of us some time to cool down before we headed off again.  I’d bought some banana’s & mango for a little pick me up which came in very handy.

Heading off up the hill, we decided to cut across to the Wild Challenge course as Kirsty hadn’t seen it and then make our way back.   We looked at most of the obstacles and Kirsty even tried a few of them while I had to push & carry my bike.

By the time we got home, we were both shattered and possibly had too much sun that we both ended up with raging headaches.

After a good sleep, I got up and made breakfast for everyone (Simon & Kirsty)   …poached egg & beans and a pot of fresh coffee which was greatly appreciated.

Simon was a busy bee, on his computer advertising my old laptop and video camera with underwater housing  ..and then brought out the Guitar Hero equipment which had been sat collecting dust under the stairs to see if everything worked.  The drum set was in need of a little soldering and glueing but that was about it..

So after testing out the guitars on a few songs, then attaching the mic  …we rocked the afternoon away!
