Thursday April 30th Koh Tao
The taxi to the ferry was picking us up at 10.45 so we left Penzys comfortable room and took our last relief from its wonderful air conditioning since it looks like we won have an air conditioned room for another couple of weeks, ac rooms are mad expensive on Ko Tao and Phangan. It was a fast catamaran ferry that brought us to Ko Tao in about 1.5 hours so got in about 2.30 and for the fist time we hadn’t bothered booking accommodation. Jumped in a taxi from the port, well in the back of some guys pick up truck, and headed to Sairee beach. Stupidly we checked into the first room we saw, and went looking at what else was on offer, immediately found much nicer room with tiled floor instead of the gappy floorboards to let all the local insects in that our first room had. Amazingly they gave us our money back for our room though and we checked into Prick-Tai resort. Settles into our room then and headed out for dinner where I had a special treat of mashed potato which was delicious, Mary was disappointed with her chicken fajitas though, western food can be hit or miss over here. Sat out in a few more beach front bars then for a while and just relaxed. It seemed pretty quiet tonight. Came home and met 2 English lads in the room two up from us, James and Craig, they were drinking vodka and heading to some pub a bit later on but we just went to bed
