She was immediately hooked up to a saline drip, given a blood test and all manner of tablets and then proceeded to sleep on and off for the next 36 hours.<br><br>When Caroline woke the doctor gave us good and bad news &#8211 ...

... if he pretended it was for him, so I said yes and ordered banana with strawberry. The guy took out a little ball of dough from a Tupperware bowl and began to flatten it and knead it until it was nice and pliable. Then he dropped some butter onto his hot circular pan and plopped the dough on top.

This was my kind of place.<br><br>I&#8217;ve been pretty lucky on my travels thus far, meeting either other solo travellers or the odd couple to hang out with for a few days, but I soon realised that Koh Tao also equalled honeymoon island and the various incarnations of love&#8217;s young ...

... was fairly easy. We booked an overnight bus to Chumphon and a linked ticket on a ferry to Koh Tao, from where we would get a further ferry to Koh Nang Yuan. We actually had what they called a &#8216;buffet ticket&#8217; which meant we would be able at a later stage to use the ticket again to get from Koh Tao to our final island destination, Koh Samui.
