Hey, I'm now on the island Koh Samui. I arrived here two days ago after a long days travelling from Phuket. I went by taxi, minibus, another minibus, boat and finally taxi again before I reached my destination. I managed to get a cheap bungalow where I stayed the last two nights. Tonight my relatives from Finland are arriving, but the last two days I have spent on my own. I have walked around and explored some nearby places, trying to find a nice place for my family to stay. I'm now staying close to the hotel where my relatives will be staying, but it's a bit too crowded and touristic here. I went to a quieter beach earlier today and booked rooms for when my troops arrive. It seems to be pretty fully booked everywhere since it's Christmas holidays and peak season for places like this.
It's been nice and hot and I've enjoyed spicy thai food, cooling fruit shakes, sweet iced coffees and best of all, loads of fruit for breakfast which makes a nice change to the bread with bread every breakfast in Morocco.
I am starting to feel the exhaustion from all the days travelling it took to get here. I have also been walking for a couple of hours both today and yesterday, so I thought it might be time to relax a bit. I went to one of the many massage places down the road and got a wonderful and somewhat painful hourlong massage. It's so cheap here so I might get a daily massage while I'm here, it would probably sum up to one or two massages back home. I'd say it's totally worth it!
Now I'll go out for some dinner and later maybe my relatives will have arrived at their hotel. Bye!
