I don't know whether jet lag affects you more as you get older but we both really struggled the first few days we were back on Koh Tao. We arrived back on the Tuesday afternoon and I took the next day off as I was shattered and also wanted to clean the house from ghekko poo, cobwebs and dust. Poor ole Simon, was straight back into filming Open Water students as the video team were short on bodies. I really don't know how he managed as he had hardly any sleep and swollen ankles which were really painful to walk with. He is such a trooper!!
Since we've been back, most days have been overcast with the wind picking up late afternoon bringing the odd heavy shower. The UK was hotter LOL
We've had friends visiting from San Francisco, Garth, Alissa and Jamie. It's been 10 years or so since I last saw Alissa but only a couple of years since Garth & Jamie popped into the farm for a surprise visit. While they were here, Jamie did his Junior Open Water, Garth & Alissa did a refresher course and came out with Simon and I on a few fun dives and they even joined in with our beach clean up with the DMC's. After that, everyday they used to walk up to Crystal along the beach from the Regal resort with a handfuls of rubbish. It was great to see!

Today was a sad day as they left the island on the next leg of their journey. They are now off to Borneo to the Orangutan rehabilitation center which Simon and I visited on our honeymoon. Arghhh ..amazing memories :-D

Great time spent with Garth and family. Yes hotter here. Been in the river each day with Muppy, just lovely as cold as the river water is. Not quite deep enough to snorkel though...!
Prepare yourselves for the Tickells they are on their way.....!
