(20 November)

I woke up today still feeling dodgy which was just rubbish! I couldn't decide what to do, I half wanted to try going down to Kata beach but really wasn't up to it! I checked out anyway but left my bag and went for a walk to get breakfast, suss out my options and have a look at the beach. The beach was so crowded, and far too hot, so didn't bother staying. Taxis to Kata were 400BHT though, and I really just wanted to curl up in a ball all day, so I went back to the hostel, checked in again, and booked a boat to Ko Lanta in the morning! Then I went up to the lounge area and sat on the sofa for most of the day watching movies - The Beach, which was ok, and The Hangover 2, which i fell asleep to.

I went for dinner to a reasonably priced Thai place which was ok but nothing special...I was just happy to actually be able to eat something! Then back to the hostel. I watched The Lovely Bones with the Australian girl which was really good but a bit scary lol, especially when it was all tense and a cat suddenly appeared from behind te TV! So freaky! There's cats everywhere here.

Had an earlyish night as I had been told to be ready to leave for Ko Lanta at 7.15 the next morning!
