Hello everyone Can't remember where I left off before, but we are now on the beautiful island of Koh Tao - very quiet and laid back. Nothing happens quickly here! Travelled here by catamaran. Hope to download some pics of sunset I took on the beach last night - really lovely. Going on a boat trip around the island tomorrow for a full day; includes several stops and some snorkelling - a whole new experience for me. Cannot swim here on our beach because it i...

Caught a 'sawngthaew' (kind of truck) to another beach - Coral Cove. Much quieter than the beach where we are staying and no hawkers. Lots interesting rock formations and the beautiful palm trees which we are getting used to seeing everywhere. Another swim. In transit, we met a couple from Devon who have just retired...
