Althoug it breaks me heart, I have decided to leave Koh Tao today. The rest of Thailand is calling my name and my empty wallet is feeling the island tourist prices so I am out. Not to say it won't be missed though. The last few days have been the epitome of lazy. I wake up around 8amish, sit in the hammock until Nicolle would get up, go get some breakefast, swim, porch, email, swim, porch, read, move to another porch, swim again. Real tough.
I bought some snorkling gear and have kept myself entertained with fish antics. I was out one day following this rainbow fish around when this cute little blue ones chases it away. "Awwwww...it's territorial. Hw cute....," I thought, suddenly two of the little creeps come swimming right at my mask! Jerks. So, yes, I freaked out at the 8 inch fish chargin me, choked on seawater and had to surface. You win this round, little blue fish. I'm taking them some seseame crackers today as a farewell present.
Nicolle and I went out a few nights ago for a nich bucket on the beach and we got talking to this guy. Now, I loves me an aussie so I was all into it. I put in ALLLLLL the effort, I even drank a Bacardi Breezer. Lychee, it was. Bright Pink. I didn't want a beer so I thought it would be a great alternative. So after he drops me off at the bungalow that night without so much as a high five, I figure I would have to hear no more about it. Right. I wake up the next morning, feeling like I got run over by the tropical fruit truck, tried to eat an english breakfast and spent the rest of the afternoon hugging the toilet. I will say one thing though: a hangover is a lot better in paradise. Nicolle however, won't let me forget it.
Although the weather has been cloudy, the san came out in all its glory a couple nights agao and I got to see the best sunset out at a place called Banana Rock which is ultimate zen even. The barkeep, Nung, has two extra fingers, each with the tiniest little nail. It's kinda wierd but he makes a mean smoothie.
OK, I am going to go say my goodbyes to fish and porch. Let me know how the weather in Alaska is. hahahahahaha!

Hi Lizzy,
Sounds like blue fish had an agenda... Hope this finds you well and safe. Love hearing about your adventure. Not too cold here, only -4 on the hill this morning...snowed a little yesterday but was clear last night. Its suppose to drop to -20 near the end of the week, so enjoy the toasty warm environment. With Love...
