Day 15 – Koh Tao

It is really nice having absolutely nothing planned for the 2 full days we are on Koh Tao. We got asked last night if we wanted to book snorkelling but another guest here told us that lots of people book the snorkelling tours and they all end up at the same place at the same […]

Day 14 – Koh Samui to Koh Tao

A change of scenery today and we also had to say goodbye to Linsey and Craig (whose holiday to Koh Samui we crashed after cancelling Sri Lanka) who have headed back to Brisbane with a layover in Singapore. We had a final breakfast by the beach and said our goodbyes. We also said goodbye to […]

Day 13 – Koh Samui

It’s our last full day on Koh Samui today. Tomorrow Stu and I are on the ferry to Koh Tao and Linsey and Craig are on a plane heading back to Brisbane. It’s very sad to lose the last of our travelling companions tomorrow. We have decided to spend the morning at Mae Nam beach. […]

Day 12 – Hiking on Samui

Today was another early start as we are doing a hike on Koh Samui today and have to be at Meanam to meet our guide Femke by 8 am. She has organised a driver to pick us up at 7:30 and take us to the meeting point. I found out today that all the taxis […]

Day 11 – Koh Samui

A slow and painful start today – our legs are very sore from climbing the hill yesterday and I am pretty sunburnt from yesterday. Craig has organised a driver to take us around the island today. Our drivers name was Pon. Craig had secured him for 2000B for 4 hours and 1000 if we went […]

Day 10 – Koh Samui (Ang Thong Marine Park)

Today Linsey, Stu and I are off to Ang Thong Marine Park which has about 40 odd islands in it. Craig is off early to play golf today so we will see him when we get home. Our pick up was on time and our ride was this tripped up minivan than was built to […]

Day 9 – Koh Samui

Late start again today – slept in until 6:30. Stu went for a run while I caught up on my blog. Today is a nothing planned day so we have taken it really slowly. We breakfasted, paddled in the ocean, drew (Stu) and swam for most of the morning. We walked into town and did […]

Day 8 – Koh Samui

Today and tomorrow are free days – we have nothing in particular planned other than taking it easy and exploring Chaweng which is the area we are staying in. Stu and I slept in until 6 this morning which is unusual for us. We went for a walk along the sand and down into the […]

Day 7 – Singapore to Koh Samui

Today we’re flying from Singapore to Koh Samui. Our flight is scheduled for 17:20 with Bangkok Airways. The Hilton Garden Inn has given us a late check out of 2pm. After breakfasting with the gang of 10 we headed back to our room to pack before heading off to Bugis St with Stephanie and Gabrielle. […]

Day 6 – Singapore

Today is Stu’s birthday. We started the day with a birthday banner from Stephanie and Gabrielle, and moved on to cake toppers and anything else that highlighted Stu was the birthday boy. Everyone did so well – thank you all for coming to Singapore for his “cough cough” birthday (I’m not allowed to put down […]
