What a great nights sleep, the bed & pillows were so comfy  ..that’s the only thing of our posessions that I really miss funnily enough.  Perhaps we should have bought a couple at Tesco  ..maybe next time.

Breakfast was down by the pool where only one other couple sat.  It was very quiet.  I had scrambled eggs & bacon, Si had poached eggs with OJ and coffee.  After we’d finished, we headed back to the room and packed our bags, I managed to squeeze all our shopping into my drybag which now weighed a ton but at least we didnt have to carry any extra bags.

After checking out, we headed to MacDonalds to pick up a couple of Big Macs to take back to Koh Tao for Carsten & Tina.  So with our errands complete, we caught a taxi to the Lomprayah.   When we arrived, the boat was already in, so we bought our tickets and only had 5 or so mins to wait before boarding.
The journey seemed really quick as Si was doing UK work on his PC and I was playing games on his Iphone.

Off the boat we walked to Crystal to find Carsten to give him his Maccy D .  Luckily we spotted him at the side of the pool so presented him with his & Tina’s Maccy D’s which he was delighted with and started to eat immediately.   Urgh, cold MacDonalds just doesn’t do it for me in the slightest.

After riding to Deep Down, we pottered about, Si helped John play around with one of the projectors which they set up later at Dirty Nellys in time for the World Cup and I just sat around which got really tedious as I had nothing to do ..In the end everyone left Deep Down and I walked over to Dirty Nellys to see what John & Si were up to.    I arrived and they were stood around waiting on the light to go to see how effective the projector was.  Thankfully Katti turned up and I chatted with her.  
We eneded up staying there all  night and watched the first match of the World cup.  We would have gone home but as it started to rain and rain heavily  so we stayed put. 

We caught the 9.30 Lomprayah boat to Koh Samui  as I had a 12pm hospital appointment.  I was quite looking forward to the mini break away and we were booked into a lovely hotel, thanks to Jace’s girlfriend.

On arrival at the hospital, I was seen straight away and was only in there for 10 minutes and came out feeling ‘what a waste of time.’  Last time I was there I was told that I had to come back to get the stitches taken out only to be told this time that they were dissolveable  ..ARGHHH  ..but they did tell me that I can dive again  HOORAY!!!  ..and that I needed more antibiotics as I still had an infection so told me to go to a pharmacy as it was cheaper  ..well at least that was nice of them.

We left the hospital and caught a taxi to the hotel. After being shown to our room, we unpacked what little we had.   We hadn’t had breakfast so I suggested that we’d get supplies from Tesco Lotus (big supermarket) and have a picnic on the beach    ..It’s really sad but I was so excited to be at a big superstore.I was in heaven, aisle and aisles of food, clothes, electrical etc..   We bought batteries, shampoo, shower gel, cheese, salad, french stick, crisp, water and  a few other necessities.   It was a lot cheaper than Koh Tao.  We did have a bottle of wine and beer in our basket but they had a 5pm selling licence, so we had leave them behind.

Instead of gong to the beach and getting sand in everything, we sat on our terrace and had our picnic whilst watching Dr Who on Si’s laptop.  It was lovely.  We then decided to collect our free non alcoholic drink from the pool bar where we sat and read in a comfy wicker double chair until the mozzies came out.

That evening, we went for a stroll along the main shopping strip.  It wasn’t too busy which was nice but the stagnant smells along the way, nearly made us heave.  We stopped in one trendy bar to have a mojito and then walked back to the hotel.

Oh yes, our room had a lovely bath in it, so not having one since we visited KL, it was a real treat and had a lovely soak whilst watching Big Brother ..the last ever series!

Neither of us were very hungry so we skipped dinner and just munched on fruit, crisps and chocolate cookies.

This is a dive at Chumpon on the 9th of June, to capture some of the bleaching occuring… The guy in the video is Nathan Cook, head dude of Eco Koh Tao..
