Koh Phangan

5th July continued

We arrived bright and early to catch the ferry over to Koh Phangan. We are staying in Longtail Beach Resort on the North East coast. It is adorable, so perfect.. if only we could have Koh Tao's beach here too. The bungalows are so sweet with hammocks and wind chums. For lunch we ordered a chicken sandwich which was delicious then headed to the viewpoint. Was a steeper walk than expected... For breakfast we ate at Nina's Bakery mmmm!

7th July

Yesterday we had planned to go beach hopping but it was soo expensive, we really wanted to see Bottle Beach :(. Instead, we walked to the opposite bay to ours to chill out!

Today we went to Anthong Marine National Park which consists of 42 islands. The taxi picked us up at 8am and hopped onto some oldy worldy brown boat. The sea was unbelievably choppy that caused one girl to throw up over the boat. Firstly I jumped off the diving board to snorkel however the sea wasn't that clear unlike Koh Tao.  After some lunch we headed to Emerald Lagoon via kayak which was stunning then climbed another viewpoint! The view was incredible,defiantly worth the hike up!  

Koh Samui

5th July

Here comes the monsoon season, hence a perfect time to catch up with life! 

We arrived at Koh Samui & were taken to a hotel named 'The Loft'... well.. at first they put us into a room with just a double matress?! Ha, thanks but no thanks. So I ended up going back to complain and they moved us into a room with actually beds which was nice. Straight away we headed to Chewang beach. The beach is beautiful however it is very much the tourist side of the island full of resorts. 

For dinner we ate at a bar and grill and I also got my shellacs re-done (happy girl). We then chilled at a bar with a live band which was relaxing.

6th July

Today we set out to find the view point. After a standard egg and baguette at Cafe Uno we walked along the beach and over some rocks but ended up on a nicer beach so just sunbathed there. For lunch we headed back to the Chewang and had a beef satay with peanut butter sauce (god I miss Thai food). One of the best places we have ate so far on this trip was tonight at Ninja Crepes. It looks like a dump but it was so authentic that it didn't matter. I had big noodles and Ally had egg noodles... then of course we ordered some mango with sticky rice! Mmmmm. 

Been struggling to walk lately as I cut my foot on a rock in the beach so it was a bit of a slow walk to the bar tonight.. Ark Bar. Watched a storm in the distance with some fire dancers and pina coladaaaaa!!
