Today was a chilled day after the mainland trip yesterday.

We woke up about midday (only 5 hours sleep then), had brekkie, and popped to the Crystal Regal pool for a swim. I went into the deep end (which is not very deep) to test my ears… I can equalise but there is still some comfort issues. Plus I cannot evaluate what happens on ascent as it was too shallow…. but it was great to get in the water..

After that, we popped to Nathans to pick up our £5 coffee perculator that we had purchased the day before on the mainland.
Then we went home and i attempted to make sausages. OH DEAR! I think I need some lessons.

After eating my delicious (not) “sausages” we watched Clash of The Titans, and then Jen retired while I went to watch the footie with Carsten.

Final score – Germany 3 Uruguay 2

Today, we rose early and headed down to the ferry. We met Nathan and Kailash, who were heading off the island to the mainland for some much needed items.

We caught the Lomprayah high speed catamaran and was on the mainland in 1hr 30mins.

After doing the tour of shops such as Carre Four and Makro.. Nathan had what he needed, and I had managed to pick up some Dried Soy Protein!!! Might be able to make myself some veggie sausages.

Another item we managed to grab is a sheet! Its too hot for a blanket at night, and the Thai’s don’t use sheets except over the mattress… so fitted sheets are very common and flat normal ones aren’t… So we were very happy to find these (have I got a bit too in depth about sheets?)

After our mostly successful tour, we dropped off our bikes, and waited several hours in a bar for the ferry. Unfortunately, some drunk American guy attached himself to us and bored me silly for ages.. Then his Thai girlfriend rocked up after a while and slapped him around the face for lying to her about where he was. It was quite annoying, and I was gagging to get the ferry and not listen to them fighting. I think at one point, he puked over himself and man… that was not nice….

At 10pm ish we boarded the ferry. The Talay Sub is a cargo vessel with a few mattress to transport some passengers. It took 6 hours to get back to Koh Tao through the night… I did not sleep a wink, and spent most of the night pacing.

I did see 3 shooting stars though!!

Anyway, returning back to Koh Tao we picked up our bikes and headed home… still awake I did some work stuff and retired about 7am…

Jen took a day off diving and did not wake till 2PM !!!!!! Wow she can sleep…

We stayed in and just relaxed and ventured to Vibe at sunset to discover a sleeping Nathan..
