The last couple of days it was a chill out time…

A little snorkelling, a bit of laying by the pool… and returning to restaurants for food..

Simon and I were up and dressed early.  The plan was to shoot down to Maehaad to meet Simons father & Kate for coffee before they caught the 9.30 Seatran Ferry but their hotel transit had dropped them with their heavy cases at the ferry terminal and at the wrong one  …so rather than sipping coffee at Café Del Sol, we only had a brief time with them before saying goodbye and boarded the Seatran to reserve their seats and get comfy. 
It’s been fabulous year so far, so many family members coming to see us and what’s brilliant is that finally they can see where we live, work and understand what’s so appealing  ..everyone says they’ve had a great time and would like to stay, so hopefully they’ll be back or come and visit if we set up home elsewhere.
Our visitors this year

It was time for a tour of Koh Tao… by boat…

We met up at midday, to catch our own little longtail boat around the island to see a few sites.. Sea sickness pills taken (just in case), we then set off..

Bad timing as waves appeared from nowhere, which gave our driver a hard time getting the boat to go in the right direction… however eventually we made it around the island to Hin Wong Bay.

We snorkelled around looking at the marine life of this quiet bay, and then ended the session by Jenny, Kirsty and me freediving through some underwater caves 6m below the surface.. Brilliant.!

Next stop was the small island next door to Koh Tao, called Koh Nang Yuan. We hopped off our boat and began the climb up to the view point… At the top there were a few granite boulders to climb before getting the famous view…

Then it was back to the bar for a couple of beers, and dinner at Pranee Kitchen… I think we all went home and slept well.

Today, was a working day… Jenny had Discover Scuba Diving students to attend to, while I created a new promo for the video guys…

We left Dad & Kate to chill out at their hotel for the day… and we were going to meet up in the evening for a BBQ at our pad.

I had lost my phone after leaving the restaurant the previous night… So spent some of the day calling it and sending lock codes out..

Then, a couple of hours running around getting food, making potato salad, and getting the BBQ going…I popped out to check if my phone had been found at the restaurant… and YES!! I have my phone back… Phew!

Dad and Kate eventually arrived after a small downpour and we ate some food and showed them the house….

Then, it was time to retire… Dad & Kate caught a taxi back to their resort… ready for a busy next day touring the island….
