Koh Tao - End of the Suck and Blow Squad

We have now been here over a month - and in someways it feels longer and in others shorter.

We have both read a lot more books and met a lot more people than we have in all our travels up to now.



We have had quite a busy week of birthdays and leaving dos, and we are on a bit of a low at the moment, mainly because all our new friends have left or are leaving and also the weather has taken on an English personality i.e. wet and miserable.

We now plan to leave on the 20th of May and do a sweeping tour of South East Asia, and at least try to see some of the culture of this region of the planet instead of acting like the travellers out of "the beach" and sitting down to watch the latest film releases, with people getting up to get the popcorn within the film! and very very bad English subtitles, "so bit down on the house" she said and so on!!!

Still it's not all bad, a few people are starting the course that seem really nice and we are adopting them as wise old DMT's that have been there and done that, "Dorothy" (not her real name) is one and something that she said, again opened our eyes to truth of life on Koh Tao and how you can get sucked into it, by calling the main road along the beach the yellow brick road. Suddenly everything made sense and we began to see all the instructors at Scuba J in character, K the manager became the Wizard of Oz and so on.

Follow the yellow brick road, follow the yellow brick road, for we are off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of Koh Tao (Oz)
