Koh Pangan

Left Koh Tao yesterday and now in Koh Pangan. Koh Tao wasn't ideal, not the paradise it would have been a few years ago. We stuck with it though, and spent a day on one of the other beaches that was much better than the one we were staying on. Brendon ferried us all one at a time on the back of a motorbike that he had hired.

We decided that we would head to Koh Pangan. One reason is that it is cheaper, which with our fast diminishing funds, it makes a lot of sense. Also seeing how we are in this area of teh world, I wanted to experience the world famous Full Moon Party on the beach here. The full moon is on the 14th, so we have a few more days chilling on the beach and topping up the tan.

We plan to fly out of Koh Samui on the evening of the 16th, to Singapore. That gives us a night and a day in Singapore to do the whole Raffles and Singapore Sling thing. This is something we have talked about since before we set out on this trip. It just has to be done!

Then it will be Oz by early hours of the 18th. Strange to think that we are now only a week away from hitting Mum and Dad's house. The next leg of this crazy journey we have been on. It's been one hell of a trip so far. Thinking back to what we have done and where we have been, England seems so long ago ad so far away. We traveled through Thailand and Laos, ended up staying in Laos and working there. Then leaving Laos for Cambodia and meeting Huw and Brendon. Doing the Christmas on the Beach and New Year at Angkor with teh guys was a special part of the trip. It's been wierd traveling as a foursome, but it just adds to the whole experience. Like I say next comes a totally different part of the journey, and we are still only just half way through the whole thing!
