Day 27 - Koh Tao

This morning woke to find a few Burmese guys climbing the coconut trees in front of our house like monkeys, chopping down the coconuts nuts & palms down. Safety is totally out the window. For each tree they did, they'd get around 300baht ..and that apparently is a good rate. Rather them than me ;-D




In the meantime, Si had spotted a odd looking leaf insect on the inside of the window of our living room ..check it out!


We left the boys with their coconuts and went to the boat for a couple of fun dives... Just us 2.... The first dive was "Twins", visibility was beautiful and we spent most of the time looking for small stuff.

Next dive was "The Pottery". Being a shallow, small dive site it can get a bit tiresome. But today we dive it differently. We jumped off the boat and headed directly south of the dive site. After 10 mins of seeing not very much, we came across "Three Rocks" a little dived site. With a very nice swim through and lots of life such as Puffers, Triggers etc. It added a new element to "The Pottery" Very nice.

We arrived back, washed our gear as per usual. Couple of drinks at the Crystal Bar while Simon did work stuff, and then back home for Eastenders and another takeaway from Kanya, which is fast becoming my favourite Thai food place on the island.

Has Simon recovered from the 'issue' he had when I was chatting with him on Skype? Something to do with the thai food......apparently...;)

Being an interest of mine when I was younger....have you found out what sort insect it was?

I am assuming a "Leaf Insect" google it...!

And the "issue" is almost a constant here!! Thai food is great for weight loss!
