Koh Tao

Huuuh I arrived at Koh Tao. A beautiful place. I was supposed to to my diving here. Just one minor problem: the weather is miserable. It is raining all the time. Well thats sounds too nice actually - this is not rain any longer I should rather call it…hmm I actually have no words for this mayhem. I have seen some fecking heavy rainfall but Koh Tao might top the list now. The ferry entered the port and we were not able to leave the pier. Most of you remember the summer in Dublin this year. You take all the rain together during those 50 whatever miserable days and let it all fall down one one square meter in Koh Tao in 3 seconds. Guess that hits the bulls eye. IT IS FUCKING MISERABLE!!!. Sure I was aware that it might rain once in a while and I picked some “off season time” on purpose but I really didn’t expect this. There were some Thai people standing at the pier shaking their head in silence. So we could not leave the pier (!) and had to wait an hour or so in the office of the pier station. Really strange. You just saw a “river” coming from the island burying everything under it. Streets are gone and so on… I actually wanted to head to some remote beach at the other side of the island but thats was out of question now. But well I eventually managed to get to some beach and I also found a really nice and cozy bungalow here. Problem remains though: what to do now? I wanted to do some diving but I really doubt that you can see anything underwater at the moment. Such a pity. At least I do not care about a tan :) Julie would have left immediately ;-) Hey Julie are you reading this? So for now I decided to wait for 2 or 3 days or so and see what happens. Maye I will do some diving anyways - if possible. People seem also pretty desperate here: many said that it was raining constantly for a week now and that loads of people left (its quite empty). Say Lope! Also say lope is that tonight is the big Full Moon Party in Ko Phang Nga. Too bad! Right…. will go reading and watch rain falling down now!

Haha, your description of how much it rained, is priceless (:

Hope it settles so you can do some diving, and be outside without getting drenched.

Cheerio and say lope, my friend.
