The Long Journey Home

After a long 26 hour trip from Siam Reap we finally arrived on the beautiful island of Ko Tao. It did however involve being dropped off on the side of the road, in the middle of nowhere at 3am in the morning. Luckily another bus rocked up 20 minutes later to take us to the ferry station.

What can I say about the next five days?? We really didn’t do that much at all except sit by the beach, swim and relax. We checked into a wonderful beach hut up on the hill with amazing views but the walk up to the hut did pose a few problems at night after a couple of beers.

It was the perfect way to finish the trip and before you knew it was time to head back to Bangkok for our flight back to Australia.

We did have a day or so in Bangkok where we visited the markets, watched the Euro 2008 final and tried to stay out of the heat.

So after a massage and a pedicure – boy did our feet need them – we were on our way to the airport and for the final leg home!
