A piece of paradise

This place has come straight of a postcard and into reality, one glance produces at sigh of content..*and relax* which is just what we needed to do..especially after our journey up here! on Sunday we eventually managed to get our thai visa and head over the border- arrving at the train station just in time to jump n the delayed early train as it pulled out of the station..as we stood in the corridor a though a occured along the lines of oh **** weve just boarded a 13 our train ride with no food drink or entertainment..arg! i was already so thurst i went up to the first (non armed) guard and asked where i could get some water..they only sold beer..beer it is! The army guys protrolling the train then proceeded to laugh at the britishg girls who had started drinking already at 11 in the morning..i feel somewhat pushed into this typical english stereotype! Anyways after a sleepless 13 hours of dashing out to sheck the station stop everytime we pulled up ( as we had no concept of time and or a way of finding out) we arrived in chumphon at 3am, to sit on the platform with a random bunch of travellers waiting to get the next set of transport to Koh tao the next morning.
Needless to say it made this place all the more heavenly when we got here!- for the first time me and em have our own room..with balcony 2 mins from the water..on a quiet little bay called sharks bay..i have even seen a shark! we have great snorkling the clearest water i have ever seen and well, ife really doesn' get much better than this...
