We got into Singapore in the early hours of the morning. The flight was fine, pretty hard to get any sleep though. Singapore is an awesome airport, for a start its huge, it had a pond in the middle of it with huge koi carp living in there. There were some beautiful displays too and it was very clean. The flight was on time and we got extra leg room seats again so James was happy. As soon as we got on the flight both of us started falling asleep so this flight went quite quickly. When we arrived in Phuket James found a shop which sold Thai SIM cards so we now have the Internet whilst we're here. We then went round to domestic departures ready for our last flight to Ko Samui. Once bags were checked in again we got extra leg room but the flight was going to be delayed by an hour. We'd done ok so far! Phuket is a very busy airport and not the most fun to hang around. It was getting round to time to find our gate, we had got talking to an Aussie bloke who was getting on the same flight as us. The flight was delayed further by another half an hour. Eventually we went through the boarding gate and onto the bus outside. We pulled up to a very small plane with propellers! It was a good job we had yet again got extra leg room seats because the plane was so small, I think it was carrying 70 passengers. The seat rows were two and two, and the extra leg room wasn't quite stretch out extra leg room but it was a lot better than it could have been! The flight was only 40 minutes so it really didn't take long. Flying over the islands was fantastic, you could see whales and dolphins in the water the closer we got to Samui. Once we'd landed we were taken to the airport, the airport was tiny, just a few wooden structures, once walking in it was about 20 steps until you reached the baggage claim. We had to get a taxi from the airport to our resort, by this time it was about 5pm. Once we arrived we were met straight away by Hom one of the owners of the place. She took us straight to our room, talked us through everything and then we just collapsed! We chilled out and didn't do a great deal except get showers and get some sleep!
