Back to an overcast beach for more R&R and made it to our balcony to watch a huge storm come in. The monsoon meant we ate in the restuarant downstairs and ended up ...

... to this island a few days ago was interesting and really smelly--we sat downstairs by the bathrooms and that was a big freakin' mistake. We will be riding up top on our ride back to Bangkok needless to say. We caught a ferry to the island and went and found Michael at his resort. It was a nice place, but the demographics of the guests were 40+ and with kids, so we peaced out to Lonely ...

... hold. I had rain puring off the umbrella and down on to my back. We're getting absolutely soaked in the 60 seconds it took to get our bags into the shop. We watched as the nice comfortable bus drove away... and we had no idea where to go next! Fortunately we saw the funny side in all of this and sat there in hysterics at our predicament. We pulled it together and organised a room for the night, and a ride to the ferry. By the time ...
