So when I last wrote my blog I was in a seriously bad mood and extremely annoyed that I had managed to lose so many pictures from the past few weeks... Im still annoyed but theres nothing that I can do about it so just have to enjoy the last part of the trip and try and get lots more.
We got the ferry over to Koh Tao from Koh Phangan which took about 1 and a half hours and managed to sit on the deck so we could catch a few rays.. We hadnt booked any accomodation but knew we wanted to go to the main beach so just jumped into a tuk tuk kind of taxi with a group of guys and headed there. We hadnt realised how hard it would be to find accomodation! Everywhere we stopped to ask was either full or they only had the most expensive rooms left! We ended up having to walk to the furthest point away but found a really nice little bunglaow for 350 baht each a night which isnt too bad.
I was still in a really bad mood having just realised I had lost all the pictures
and Sean wasnt vtoo pleased so we decided to just go to a bar down the road and get a few drinks to drown some sorrows. Played pool for a while and by that time it was getting on for dinner so we headed back up to ours to get changed.
We went to this nice little mexican place for a meal where they were playing a film - The Hangover II.. This definitely helped lighten our moods and so we bought a little bottle of rum and headed out to a beach bar and had a dance. We were heading back home when a rep stopped us and told us about a pool party happening just down the road and so we decided to go to that. It was SO much fun!! Everything was going so well and we had met a group of really cool people and then suddenly I stood on some broken glass and iI could feel it really deep inside of my heel! I kept trying to get it out but it wouldnt budge but we stayed out anyway as we were both having loads of fun. My toe was really cut aswell though
and it started to hurt a lot so we went back home.
When I woke up yesterday morning I was in SOO much pain!! The alcohol had obviously helped to drown out how badly it hurt the previous night so I was really shocked when I tried to walk on it in the morning. We headed straight out to the doctors which is about a 10 minute walk away but took me about half an hour haha. At first a nurse just tried to prise the glass out with a little sharp rod thing but after 5 minutes and the pain becoming too much to handle she decided to get the doctor instead. He put anasesthetic into my heel and then had to cut a massive hole to try and find the little bits! Then after they had cleaned it he shoved a load of gauze into the hole and bandaged it up. It cost about 40 pounds which was annoying and I have to go back every day to get it cleaned and re-dressed 😞 Thismorning when I went back the woman hurt me so much I was crying and shaking!! Im dreading going back tomorrow! I was
awake all night aswell in pain because they only gave me ibuprofen for the pain so now I am on tramadol which is supposed to be a lot stronger thank god!!
Today we have just been lazing about in beach bars and we tried to go on the beach but I am not allowed to get sand under the bandage or go in the sea so it was a bit rubbish. Sean is off climbing at the moment so at least he can do that rather than just sit around with me all day doing nothing 😞 Tonight we are going back to that place to watch a film again but ont be going out to any pool partys or beach raves as I cant drink either haha. What a brilliant way to end the trip! Hopefully I will be in less pain in a couple of days so we can at least do a few things and see the island a bit.

Foot!!
Ouch! It makes me feel quite queasy looking at your poor foot - it must be so sore. Make sure that you look after it otherwise it may become infected. You have been very unlucky lately, what with sickness and losing your photo's you must be pretty fed-up! Please look after yourself and be more careful. Sending you a big hug and lots of love Mxx
