Hello!

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't done and update in a while, it is so fun
here with so much to do.

I successfully completed my open water diving certification with PADI,
which mean I can dive without and instructor up to 18 M. I was really
worried that the diving would hurt my ears, buy there was no
discomfort whatsoever. I cannot wait to go diving again, unfortunately
my travel partners didn't enjoy it as much ad mr, so I might have to
wait until next trip.

We are in Ko Phangan now, we have been here three days I think. The
7th was a full moon party, which had the world famous "full moon
party". It was insane, SO many people on the island. The party was
fun, but I much prefer other activities.

We leave here tomorow, I forget where we're going, but I know we will
go on a three day wilderness trek soon, so I won't be able to do my
daily updates (haha)

Talk to everyone soon!

Ko Tao

Hi.

We arrived in Ko Tao, a smallish island, but big enough for a some
motorvehicles.

We started our scuba training last night, which involved watching some
Very cheesy movies. Today we had three quizzes. And went diving I'm
shallow waters (no more than 3m)

The sensation of breathing underwater us very cool.

I think this is my favourite island so far. Right when we arrived we
ran into 3 Ivey guys playing vollywball - small world. We hung out
with them last night after our lessons and exchanged travel stories.

The island is very relaxed. And quite reasonably priced.

Tomorrow we have an exam for scuba so we have some readng tonight, but
so far it has been quite easy.

The weather here has been very nice, save for a few windy moments Whig
last maybe 20 minutes. We encountered one of these times when we were
on the boat heading home from our dive. We were relaxing in the top
deck- and the waves started picking up. I tried plying a game with
myself to see how long I could stand in yw deco without falling or
moving my feet. The big waves made it aVery difficult. Ron tried the
same, and a big roll came that VERY NEARLY sent him over the edge. It
was pretty funny and scarybat the same time.

Shawn and I have a bungallow to ourselves, and Ron and Carl are
sharing on.

The Pad Thai here is really good, an I had it for dinner two times in
a row.

In off for now, two dives tomorrow!
