Wednesday 20th February 2008

When we were out and about yesterday, we discovered that Ko Tao is more of an island for people interested in diving. We weren't bothering with that this time, so decided we'd spend a day exploring the island before moving on tomorrow. We set the alarm for just after 7am and were up and out shortly afterwards for some breakfast. We were just about to go exploring when it started to rain... hard! So we sat in the same place we'd ate breakfast and had a couple of coffees. Once the rain had cleared we set off again.

Ko Tao isn't a very big island and we were soon halfway up the West-coast, back in the town of Sai Ri. We had a look around the shops, spent some time on the beaches and then stopped for some lunch. This afternoon, on our way back to our guest house, we tried walking along the coast - but got lost and ended up retracing our steps for quite a distance - in the end we'd walked for miles!

Before we got back we bought ourselves a little frisbee and spent the rest of the day on our beach playing. We were pretty useless and spent most of our time wading out into the sea to collect the stupid thing. When it started getting too dark to play anymore we decided to go to a little restaurant called 'New Heaven', which someone had recommended to us. The name was right - the place was amazing! It was set high on a cliff and had beautiful views over a small, private bay. It was made even more pretty by the huge full moon over head.

Stupid frisbee... how hard can it be?
