Today was our first full day in the massive city of Hong Kong. We woke up early and got ready for a big day out exploring the city. We left the hotel and headed straight to the ferry terminal and took the ferry to the other side of the city called Hong Kong Island. But since we hadn't eaten any breakfast we were both starving and a little grumpy. We wondered around the city for a bit looking around at the different skyscrapers then decided to go find some food. However we had alot of trouble finding somewhere decent we both wanted to go. We kept getting lost in all the indoor corridors and malls which all seemed to look similar. Finally we found a Starbucks, grabbed a table and stuffed ourselfs, we were so incredibly ... read more

This morning we woke up got ready then headed down to the hotel restaurant for some breakfast. It was a huge buffet with all sorts of Asian foods, most of which Hannah and I wouldn't eat. We found some cereal and bread, ate breakfast then headed to reception to take the free shuttle bus to the Ferry Terminal on Macau Peninsula. We waited for a while but eventually the bus came and we were taken across to Central Macau. It was quite easy to get around in Macau because most of the casinos offered free bus shuttle to and from their casino to the Ferry Terminal. Once we arrived we jumped on the shuttle bus to 'The Sands' hotel and casino and had a quick look around inside. We went outside took some photos and walked ... read more

We slept in a little today and got up in time for breakfast downstairs in the hotel restaurant. After spending some time at MBK yesterday, we didn’t really do much shopping, instead just looking around. But today we planned to head back there and do some serious shopping. When we arrived we decided to go have lunch first and headed across the road to Siam Paragon to find somewhere to eat. We ate lunch then returned to MBK and for the remainder of the day went shopping. We spent hours and hours searching around the massive shopping mall to find some good deals. I bought almost 100 DVD’s and a few clothes as well, while Hannah had her hair done and stocked up on makeup. As the shops started closing we headed up to the cinemas ... read more

We were up early again today but it was traveling all day long today. We packed up our gear and checked out of the resort. We took a taxi, which was really a pickup truck, to the pier and they didn’t even charge us. We waited around for a while until the ferry came to take us to Chumporn. It took around an hour to get to Chumporn and we when did it was chaos trying to get our backpacks and get off the massive ferry onto a small pier made out of wooden sticks. We got assigned to a bus for the long drive into Bangkok, it was going to take at least 8 hours. While we waited for our bus to arrive we managed to get a table and order some lunch from the ... read more

We got up early and got ready to meet our bus transfer which would pick us up from the nearby school and take us to the ferry pier. We weren’t waiting long till it came and it took around 45 minutes to get there. As we waited for the ferry to arrive we bought some make do breakfast and some snacks for the day ahead. Soon enough the ferry arrived, we got on and were given goggles for snorkeling later on. It didn’t take very long to get to Koh Tao but as we approached we could see how amazing this place was. The water was a beautiful blue and you could easily see to the bottom as well as plenty of fish swimming around. We dropped some people off at the Koh Tao pier then ... read more
