After almost being drowned on land in Cambodia -with Angkor as a pleasant exception- we longed for some sunny beach time. We decided that it would be a grand idea to travel from Siem Reap all the way to Koh Tao. The result -I can tell you now smiling- firmly disagreed, laughed at us, called us stupid and was downright horrid. 33 hours in crappy busses; two nights spent in agony. The second night: really not my idea! My revenge was buying magazines for a whopping 40 euros (we are on a budget of 35 euros each, every day, to give you an idea of the severity of this punishment).
Finally at Koh Toa I decided it was about time for us both to get a serious sun tan going.
Every time I smile now, or try to give V a kiss the skin on my upper lip cracks and burns. I have heat flashes engulfing my face every now and then and the after sun bottle I applied almost fully to my body was sucked in immediately. Now all I need to do is stay hydrated and I’ll return with a killer tan. V on the other hand disagrees slightly with my enthusiasm over second degree burns. All I could see after his screams of disapproval summoned me to the bathroom was a very white bum…

He retaliated by getting a drastic haircut. All his long blonde tresses where gone. Chopped off by a Lady Boy, while I sat there, thinking about a suitable revenge.

| There... I even slept on a wooden bench outside for some hours to get to the Island. If that doesn't justify my revenge than I don't know what does... |
 |
| But once there, it was actually quite brilliant. |

| Magnificent sunsets |

| And relaxed seaside dining. |

| Visiting Koh Tao means visiting the fish there too. We got along pretty swell. |
