Ko Samui

Massive frog/toad from Khao Sok

Well we made it to an island, Koh Samui, and have managed to find ourselves a little hut on the beach itself just a few metres from the sea at high tide which is nice.

The weather is much the same as it has been everywhere so far, overcast with the odd bit of rain but other than that all is good, fingers crossed it should clear up in a few days!

We arrived on the island on Friday on a rather old looking tatty ferry that seemed to go so slow but none the less we made it in one piece, no safety announcement at the start of this trip or a sign of a life jacket in sight although we have started to notice the severe lack of health and safety here in Thailand! But maybe we are wrapped up in cotton wool a bit in the uk!?

On our first day we decided to head straight to a beach bungalow but unfortunately quite a few were shut on the beach we were looking at so we headed to a tourist info and managed to find a room for the night. Unfortunately it was a bit more than we wanted to pay but for 900b it wasn't too bad and the food was gd.

The next day we got a moped with helmets even though we did look like goons lol and headed off around the island to explore and found a beautiful waterfall also managed to find a great beach hut(as I looked at the photo around us I thought we were at a lesbian resort lol but then alex said that it was a man in the pic he had v long hair!). We went to the fisherman's village along the next bay and managed to speak to family which was great xx alex then decided that he would get his hair cut unfortunately it is shorter than he expected next was indian for tea mmm.

We are both very happy where we are staying now at 350b which is basic with shared showers and toliets behind us but to my suprise it does have electricity!!And a great beach bar and resturant.

Hope all is well there love jen and alex xx
