We're presently on Ko Phang Nga, a short rain storm hit us, so we we decided to hit the internet cafe.
We spent 3 days in Ko Tao and it's absolute difficult to keep track of what day it is anymore.
Ko Tao was excellent and exacly what we were looking for to begin our journey through Thailand. VERY relaxing. The Island is famous for scuba diving, so there's many backpackers go through. On the ferry we met a 34 year old woman from Quebec who is spending 4 months on the Island. She told us she's living on th other side of the Island where there's only one guesthouse and barely anyone there. We thought it be a good idea to follow her to the other side for a few days. There was maybe 5 other guests the whole time we were there. The staff was wonderful and absolutely so friendly! We snorkelled for 2 days straight. This is the first time for Brendan and I to ever snorkel and it was unbelieveable to see this completely different world under the sea. It was addicting, we'd snorkel... get some food, snorkel... get some food and then snorkel again until the

On the balcony of our Bunglowsun set. To be honest I was a bit nervous at first to go very far from the shore because there's black tip sharks ( which are harmless but a little intimidating to be next too in the water). Eventually I sucked it up and started to go out farther, the fish we're oblivioulsy to the fact that we were even there,swimming right up to our masks. Never did see any sharks, but we saw from Groupers, Parrot fish, christmas tree worms, needle nose fish, trigger fish, sea cucumbers, butterfly and bat fish... Brendan saw a Ray.
The food here is delicious! No matter where you go to eat it's fantastic food. And so cheap!
Here in Ko Phang Nga we rented a scooter for 200 baht (about $6) for the day. Bren drove us around the whindy, pothole roads of the island. We stopped to see some waterfalls. We were planning on seeing 5 of the waterfalls on the island but after the hike to the first one we called in quits for the day. We were both dripping pools of sweat and had only brought a 2L bottle of water for the both of us which was

On the balcony of our bungelow in Ko Tao finished within a half hour.
We went to the beach to play frisbie in the water for a while until the wind started to pick up and it was just impossible to throw the frisbie any longer.
We're taking the early ferry tomorrow morning to go to Ko Samui. Nothing much is keeping us in Ko Phang Nga. Not that's it's not beautiful but we'd prefer to move on.
I've taken many pictures but I'm finding it quite impossible with this internet connect to upload any although I'll try one more time before I finish up here.
