Enjoy your day and we will be thinking of you.
Sending lots of love & hugs,

It’s been a busy few weeks.  As Simon mentioned, I’ve had a Eco student here for 3 weeks who has now left.  So I’m finally free to start sorting things out ready for the office move.
Eco is moving to Steve’s (Crystal Images) new apartment, just across the road.  We were originally told that we had to move from where we are as the landlady wanted the building back to extend it and then turn it into a coffee shop and massage place  …as though they’re aren’t enough on Koh Tao.    So the next few days, I’m going to be sorting, clearing and humping furniture around.

As a treat last night, I went for a massage …I have found a great place where you can have an hour thai massage for only 200 baht, which is about 4 pound  …how cheap is that?!    When I walked in, I was greeted by these little things

So… what have we been doing for the last 10 days.

Well, since the 9th Jen has been continuing the eco course, and I have been working on UK projects. Not much in the way of diving, apart from a day out to Sail Rock having a couple of fun dives…

Apart from that, I have been trying to hike every other day if possible…

Jenny Eco student passed her Reef Check Eco Diver course and is just finishing her Marine Resource Management Course before doing some internship stuff..

She is now building a new nursery from recycled metal, and hopefully will deploy the structure today, since the weather indicates some big storms coming.

We popped over to Samui for the day to have some fun go karting, and stayed the night with David at Cocooning Hotel. We also met up with Atilla and Timea who had recently moved from Koh Tao to Samui just a few weeks ago…

 It was good to catch up, and we all had far to much to drink… We just managed to get the ferry back the next day…. it was fully booked, but arguing for ages, they finally relented and popped us on the boat… phew!!!
Meanwhile, the news of an explosion in Bangkok, is very concerning, but please be assured that we are all fine here.
