Hey everyone, the lack of updates is because i have found an island and have become lazy due to the beer and palm trees, well anyways 5 days ago i took a night bus and then a ferry to ko tao, what a long and tiring trip, the bus seats where not comfortable and i just couldn't find a comfy position to sleep in and they started off by playing some movie that wasn't even a b movie a think it was way down in the alphabet. So i got to ko tao and got wisked away by an awaiting driver to my dive centre that i booked budha view (they are on the net if interested) which was really nice aside from the cold showers (no hot water but thats pretty standarded for cheap accomidations) and no sheet (i just used a towel, its so hot that you really dont need anything but you just get used to having covers over you so you just need something). I did the PADI open water course at the dive centre which was really fun and i got to see a lot of really cool things, although i really haven't been taking any pics because i have always been wet or going to get wet so i didn't want to bring my camera along, although i did get one or two of the island while we where on the dive boat and one of me in dive gear and i will get some more of the beaches and palm trees in the days to come. So the dive course was 4 days, which finished yesterday, and now i booked another 2 days just to hangout on the beach and read a book and maybe rent a motorcycle (okay there scooters, but sporty scooters) and explore the island (its pretty small) then im not to sure where im headed i will figure that out tomorrow because ill probably leave the next day but its either going to be ko pha ngan for more beaches and relaxing (im trying really hard to relax but i still have the mind set where i have to be doing something or have something planned all the time) or i will head to krabi and on to Railay beach for some rock climbing and laying on the beach. So hope the weather isn't getting to cold back at home and ill try to remeber my camera next time so i can put up some more pics

Happy Daze!
Hey Trev, great to hear you're having a blast! I ran into Andy at the climbing wall and we got talking about you, and I'm pretty excited for you to make it to Railay for climbing! Hey, while you're in Koh Tao, don't miss Happy Daze, this crazy hilltop bar built like a treehouse with amazing panoramic rooftop views. It's near Shark Bay. Take care, have fun, and always rock on.
