The last couple of days we've been in Koh Samui to extend our visas, watch the new StarWars movie which the boys were very eager to see, go Go karting and do a little shopping.
We came over with Tina and Carsten and have been staying at our friends Daves place 'Cocooning'.
The trip over from Koh Tao was pretty hairy with many a green face on board which the others found pretty entertaining :-D
As soon as we arrived, we took a bike to the Immigration Office to extend our visa... its about a hours ride, and we both had numb bums by the time we got there.. luckily the rain held off.
Friday nights are are always good staying at Dave's as the whole street in which the hotel is located on, is closed to traffic and 'Walking Street' appears. Loads of craft, clothes and food stalls line the entire street.

We spent some time perusing the stuff for sale, looking for presents for our "Secret Santa" gifts at the dive school. Then it was back to the hotel and a fairly early night after Dave starting bringing out shots.
Waking the next morning we were straight out on a motorbike that we rented and looking at new bicycles since Jen's bike is a bit knackered now. Undecided, we left and went shopping at Tesco's until we met the gang at the Go Karts. Jenny won the first race, and I won the other 3, so Team Dowling kicked butt !!
After karting, we went to the new cinema to see Star Wars in 3D... !! It was awesome (no spoilers).
Waking today, we went for a quick blast of last minute shopping (found some English cheese!).. and then its back onto the ferry for a choppy ride back... We have bad weather coming on the 22nd so we may get stuck if we don't head off now!
