Nervous Turkey!
The normal truck pick up started the day off as we hung on for our lives to get to the ferry port. After a quick hours boat journey, we transferred to a waiting long tailed boat in the middle of the Andaman Sea which would take us to the shore. After a conversation moments before about how we have never seen a dolphin in Thailand and how if we would have been in Australia we would have been on constant lookout, a fin surfaced right next to our boat and a lonely dolphin entertained us for a few minutes....Today is a good day.
On arrival on Koh Jum we were not wowed. Obviously the weather can't be helped, but it was not the white, sandy, relaxing island that we expected. Instead it was grey, dull weather and wet, hard sand. With a positive attitude, we hired a motorbike to explore the rest of the island (we had been told about this place at the start of our trip by a couple in Cambodia.)
Yeh we we were still not impressed. The other beaches were no better and there wasn't anything to see as we drove the dirt track roads. But we did see a snake. We are all for a deserted island with no wifi, no electricity and a chilled atmosphere. We don't even mind the outside bathroom that has no sink and a big spider (brushing your teeth into the toilet is a little weird). However the atmosphere is lacking. We retired to our wooden shack early as the family who own the place seemed to be acting a little strangely when we asked about transport for tomorrow....we think they may have been smoking a bit of something. Well there isn't anything else for them to do on the island. We are ready to leave the island early in the morning.
You win some, you lose some. We lost.
We think a trip to the doctors is on the cards for tomorrow too as Matt is still not feeling great.
