Loved Koh Tao - very peaceful harmonious island with the right balance between having enough amenities and still being in its natural state. Diving was really fun - our instructor was called Will, a Frenchman who had a great sense of humour and very positive teaching style. Unfortunately on the 2nd dive, my ears felt very painful, so I went to the doctor who said he could see the bone sticking out of the ear and a lot of blood, which explained why I could not hear much. It would also explain the blood I was coughing up all afternoon! Nice. So, was signed off the final dive, which was so disappointing as I loved it and had to sit on the beach on the last day. On the plus side, I did get to finish the diving in Koh Lanta, where the fish were spectacular and the coral seemed really alive & vibrant. Mark & I had fun in Koh Lanta. We had a very basic bamboo bungalow right on the beach and spent most of the time swimming in the sea (which was like warm bath water), cruising around on scooters and reading in hammocks - absolutely brilliant. I also made friends with the big toad who lived in our wetroom & took on different positions whenever I had a shower...JG
