Koh Tao

The next day we got a boat to Koh Tao which is small Island north of Koh Pha Nang and is a divers haven. With 60 different dive companies trying to sell you their courses and accommodation it's hard to chose! So after lots of research we went with the lady who was most persuasive and offered us a free taxi! So we, along with some others, were packed in the back of a pick up truck and driven to our hostel unfortunately (yes you've guessed it) it started to rain and really rain! So we arrived at our destination dripping wet with wet bags! It soon cleared and we were quickly booked into our hostel and onto Dive courses. As I've already done my Padi course we weren't together and didn't get any shots of us in our wet suits (what a shame!) so instead here are some pic's of us enjoying the nightlife of Ko Tao...

This is the route we had to take to our hut which was easy at the beginning of the night but as Dan found out not as easy coming back!

Here are some of Dan's friends from his Dive Course you can see why they got on (taking it very seriously early night's before their first dive in the morning!)

We were enjoying a nice Italian when realised someone had joined us, the biggest gecko i have ever seen..

After an afternoons dive together and Dan's course being completed, (what we thought would be a quieter night) we decided to go out with Kate's dive friends...

Which of course turned out to be the opposite (God damn those buckets).

So after a few buckets we ended up in a tattoo shop and no it wasn't Dan getting a tattoo this time.....

So with Dan's dive course completed and a course in buckets completed we felt it was time to leave so the next morning it was up early and off on the longest (and worst) journey of the trip to Phuket.....
