I realised today i haven't actually told you about island life so far. Well, the room me and rowan are staying in isn't too bad, flushing toilet and 2 king size mattresses, no hot water but to be honest, in 35 degree heat its not too bad. Comically, opposite our room is a hooker bar call 'Friend bar' oh and yes, they holler at us every night and morning, its so wrong. We have about a 15 min walk to the dive centre every morning/night, which does wake you up when the morning fun dives are at 7.20 am. After diving or like today i chose a lie in, its lunch, which is usually cheap noodles, before going diving again in the afternoon, today I'm fun diving in the afternoon so I just get to dive whenever I like, its pretty sweet.
The Koh Tao Festival was a good laugh, they were selling these litre jugs, so after finishing it, it was kept, so that's an epic little momento i now have. It was shame that all the music they played was local Thai music, which funnily enough didn't really get me up for dancing. After a great stumble home which took us 45 mins, we then had a great 4 hours sleep before we were up for diving.....so yeah, island life is pretty sweet.
Mucho loveo

OK, so island life is pretty awsome but I'm looking forward to seeing you do some proper hard work with a hangover...maybe the swim test! 400m swim, 800m Snorkel and 15min tread water (last 2 mins with arms in the air), all in the sea with a time limit!
ReplyDeleteRowan and myself are doing it this afternoon but maybe it's a bit too much like hard work for you! You could just boatmaster again and laugh at us!
Hi Ben,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you having a good time. What were you drinking in litre jugs? Rather amused that you are living opposite a brothel.
