Ah, we are finally settling in a very relaxed existence. Since Bangkok, we spent three (or four?) nights at Tanote Bay on Koh Tao. Now we have been at Hat Yuan on Koh Pang Ngan since Valentine's. Tanote Bay was VERY relaxed. Our favorite was the bar/restaurant next to our guesthouse which offered all day wifi for 100 Baht. (Here on Koh Pang Ngan it is 120 for an hour . . . . )
We did a couple hikes - from Tanote Bay to Sai Ree beach on Koh Tao, and today from Haad Yuan to Haad Rin on Koh Pang Ngan. Both times we got lost and ended up with a much longer hike than intended . . . . Lots of uphill . . . . definitely better than bikini bootcamp.
We took a boat ride/snorkeling tour around Koh Tao, which was fantastic. Perry is no longer nervous about swimming at all. Actually both beaches have been perfectly calm bays for swimming. Haad Yuan is definitely the more picturesque of the two though. Gorgeous clear turquoise water.
We got a small taste of Koh Pang Ngan party atmosphere even here on Haad Yuan. There was a wedding on our beach the other night, and afterward a party at one of the bars. It was definitely a good time. And just enough for us. We are definitely not up for the full moon party this go around.
Now we are thinking about taking off tomorrow. Perhaps to Khao Sok National Park for a beach break. And a break from our mosquito infested bungalow (with twin beds . . . ) here at the "Barcelona" in Koh Pang Ngan. Cheap, but difficult to take a shower because the light in the bathroom works only sometimes, and there are no screens. I.e. lots of mosquitos biting your bum in there . . . . ;-)
