"American Breakfast" by the flood! L packed with the kids while D arranged for transport to the ferry for Koh Chang. M managed to block the loo with loo roll, so D spent an unenjoyable 20 mins with plunger!
Carried bags and children onto Bhat bus, trying to keep all as dry as possible. Got to bus station, only to swap Bhat buses, and return pretty much the same way we had just come, on our way out of town (through more floods, of course!).
Arrived at pier, and a short wait later, got onto the Ro-Ro car ferry. Then sat for over an hour while a tug gently pushed us around, going nowhere fast! Eventually set sail, and reached island 45 minutes later.
Bus driver claimed that the hostel that we asked for was closed, and also wanted another 20 Bhat each to set off "early" as bus wasn't full. Dug heels in, and waited for 20 mins or so, for next ferry to arrive, and, once the bus was "full", set off to White Sands Beach.
Followed the guide book's instructions to turn right at the 7-11 and walk for 500m, and ended up at Pen's Bungalows - basic, but adequate. 2 beds, mozzy nets, own bathroom and fan.
Showered and changed, and straight downstairs for beer and food next door (Star Beach Bungalows). Great food, friendly staff!
Played on the beach for a couple of hours (frizbee!), then to bed.
