Full moon

Oh dear.

Buckets.....Buckets of Vodka Red Bull for just over 2 quid. I don't sleepuntil the next day and wake up face down on a sun lounger with the reddest back ever, drooling.

Awesome blindness. Even Colin would have been proud of the hard house I was dancing to. The Full moon party was unreal - a massive, sandy beach, stacked with bars pumping out ridiculously loud music. A must for everyone.

A couple of days later, we leave our place in Koh Phangan, and arrive by boat to Koh Tao. After trying to blag a free PADI diving course, we get dingyed, twice. 1stly, not enough time (only 3 nights). 2ndly, the burd saw right through our lies. U gotta try though.....

Then the rain starts.

And keeps going.... Laura and I play cards for 3 days in our beachhut/matchbox.

Our room: One bed. One lightbulb. The lightbulb only came on between 6pm and 6am. Many cockroaches. Harsh.

Still in the middle of the monsoon, Chuck and I try and get our scheduled boat to Koh Samui. No such luck - all boats cancelled.....

Apart from one, which we miraculously managed to buy our way onto. Fizoid, I think - we're getting off this fecking island.

This scronny wee boat picks us up. Then proceeds to hurl us about the passenger lounge for 2 hours in the high seas. All you can hear is people chundering. Can't get more fizin that that.

Eventually, we arrive in Koh Samui, check in to our nice room - holy shit 24hr electricity - and grab some much needed food. Sorted.
