J's Bungalows, Koh Tao, Day 1

So the final morning of our last day on Koh Tao is spent packing up and sayig goodbye to our wonderful room. In a desparate attempt at getting a room last night, which we failed, we wander around temporarily homeless. Luckily, a few days ago we saw a place offering rooms, and it is there we head to now. It is another hot and sweaty walk, but the room is actually better then expected, and very cheap. We pay for the room and also for our ferry tickets for tomorrow, before relaxing on the small balcony for a while. Amy makes friends with a very fat (or pregnant) cat which turns from being very friendly to very agressive in a split second. It's an odd thing that doesn't leave our front door for the entirety of our stay.
When we eventually head out we grab some food before walking to the pier to see how far we have to head tomorrow morning. It's not far at all, and leads us to a lovely beach on which we spend a few hours reading and dipping into the empty sea. It is lovely, but the amount of shade dwindles as the Sun arcs ahead of us, leaving it a bit too hot to hang around for too long.
We next head for Sairee beach and decide a drink in one of the beachfront bars is in order. It won't be alcoholic as we have vowed to not partake in any boozing until Laos, so Amy settles for a coke and I opt for a cup of tea which almost tastes like home. It is lovely to sit in the shade and chill out, knowing at the back of our minds this is the last time we will see the coast for a while (not counting off a ferry).
We go grab a sandwich from a stall which tastes amazing, and find a lovely spot on the beach to sit and read our books, waiting for the red sunset that drops over the sea here perfectly. It's a nice way to end our stay on the islands, and we definitely won't forget the beaches over here.
As night draws in we go out for a big meal. We find a very nice and very cheap restaurant that serves up free ice cream at the end of the meal. Amy has some money out do some shopping but we struggle to find everything.
Heading back underneath the lights of the walking street, with the noise of the bars and the smell of the food for the last time is sad, but I am sure we will back sometime. For now though, it is time for bed, with a long few days of travelling ahead of us!もっと詳しく
