Check out the dirty legs after doing some off-road quad rides on Koh Tao! Woo!Alrighty...here we go.
I love the island lifestyle, hate paying for it...food, internet, services are twice as expensive!
Diving in the morning is ridiculously good...but I can never wake up! Argh! I went to bed at 8:30pm and STILL managed to miss the 6:30am dive....by 20 minutes. I hate myself!!!
Love snorkelling in the warm waters with colourful corals and fish...I wanted to swim to Shark Bay, but these swarms of jellyfish came out of nowhere!! Ya, my face was feeling really numb, and the stinging was hiliariously painful (but I'm not a masochist), so I turned back without seeing the black-tipped sharks...they're supposed to be in the bay, everyday!
I love the cooler weather that the rain has brought...but WHY! WHY is it monsoon season in the south now? A week ago, it only rained at night...and now, it is pouring all the time. And there is no love/hate with damp clothes! Just malice.
A green swamp...in the middle of the tropical paradise that is Koh Tao. Batti is a quad PRO. Fearless!
OOh, I learned how to ride a quad yesterday! Man, that thing has torque...you can't let go of clutch in the 1st gear completely, or else you'll go flying! Took it for a spin down a deserted road (well, some Thais were laughing at me...) but left the off-roading to Batti, my new Dutch roomate. She goes crazy on that thing! Roads (if you can call them roads) on Koh Tao are sandbagged, and SO steep! Pictures will come...as soon as I get off these ridiculously expensive islands!
Ok, I won't bore you with more mundane details! I'm heading to Koh Pha Ngan tomorrow afternoon (after my last morning dive...to Southwest Pinnacle! LOL, for the 4th time....maybe I'll see another whaleshark! I have arranged a wake-up call...ha ha) for the legendary full moon party on Tuesday. Wish me luck! I know I'll be sleeping on the beach.

You got stung by jelly fish?! Ouch! Aww...I should have left the travel clock with you...But the diving sounds awesome. So are you all SCUBA certified now? Hope the rain lets up a bit!
