Right so our New Years, ok this weeks, resolution is to try and update our blog more regularly. To be honest it's more to save us as we don't really like writing mahoosive posts cos we're lazy but i guess it's also so you can check in on our ever interesting lives more regularly ;)
Anyhow, flo left off on our final morning in kanchanaburi and, after another chilled out morning we finally checked out to head back down to Bangkok by minibus. The minibus itself was very comfortable but we had to keep stopping for petrol every hour which resulted in us queuing for 20minutes, getting out the bus whilst he filled the tank under the bonnet and the us driving on for another hour. Needless to say a 1hr30 journey turned into almost 3 hours. Woo. Having eventually arrived in Bangkok we headed to the khao San road to stock up on food supplies (always essential for long journeys) but it actually resulted in us somehow or other buying more clothes. Thank goodness we were only there an hour or we may have been broke before our trip ended ;). We found subway so were pretty much sorted for our impending journey and were the envy of all other travellers. Finally, after a follow the leader around Bangkok we were on our bus and left at around 7pm with far better seats (more leg room) than the previous journey. Except for a half hour stop at 11pm we ate, watched TV programmes and attempted to sleep until we were rudely awakened at 2:30am. Originally we thought it was another stop so didn't move but it turned out that it was actually chumphon where the ferry was leaving from....in 4 hours!!! No one was that impressed but we managed to nap on the pier and the 3 hour boat ride to koh Tao. We arrived back in koh Tao just after 10am and it felt so good to be back! Having checked in and filled out all the forms we spent the rest of the day chilling on the beach. Awesome.
Today has been an absolutely identical day although we're just about to head into town to book our train tickets between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur which is exciting :) it's been lovely having some chilled days by the beach and tomorrow and the next day we're off diving again which we're pretty excited for if not slightly apprehensive!
Hope all is good back home :)
Lots of love Tess and Flo xxx
