After loading luggage in the jeep we headed back to the villa stopping off to drop off Si's underwater housing which weighed a ton at Deep Down Produtions (Underwater Video Crew) and then at the motorbike hire shop, where Si hired a XEROW Honda 250.
The amount of changes in just 8 months is just incredible ..the so called road that we used to trapse up is all concreted now, there are new villa's here there and everywhere ...and just how much things have grown.
After settling in at Alan & Heidi's ..we ventured back into town to spot a few ole faces from Crystal Dive. Our first was the 'Safety Stop' pub where we thought Carsten, Simons old mentor would be but after a quick look in, we left and hopped on the bike and went to Dirty Nelly's another haunt of the ole Crystal crew ...where we finally bumped into Carsten & a few faces we knew,. Its was really odd to see them as for us it's the start of our new adventure but for them we're just another couple of divers popping back to Koh Tao ..so I felt a bit flat and unsettled but later Tina turned up, who was part of the our old gang and filled us in on the comings & goings ..so began to feel slightly more upbeat.
After a nice pizza and a couple of drinks, Si & I headed back home for long awaited sleep.
