Saturday 15th Feb - Last full day on Ko Tao

I'm soooooo glad I bought tiger balm yesterday (thanks girls) I absolutely plastered it all over my numerous bites and it was such a cool relief. I had to keep reapplying throughout the night but slept for the first time in 3 nights which was fantastic. I do feel very very tired today so I am not going to rush to do anything I may watch my TV for a while and read my book in bed. Methinks this accomodation is the best I'll have the whole trip so may as well make the most of it. The girls are bored with beaches now but oh I could just do with some chilled time. I swear I was made for a warmer climate!

I was looking through the fish (terminology - sure there must be a better word - aquarian?!) book this morning. The variety of speicies is just astounding. I could really get into diving but unfortunately there isn't much scope to pursue this particular hobby in little old England so will just have to go abraod a lot he he.

Had breakfast in my wi fi place. Feel a bit sick this morning dunno why, so gonna treat myself to breakfast rather than bread from the local shop! Bacon and Egg on toast yum yum. Wrote an email to Jetair to see if I could stop off in India on the way home, and checked my balances. I am spending too much although I dont how how! It should get much cheaper now on in.

Read my book and sunbathed. Continued to feel a bit off. Not sure if fatugue or side effects of pill or sunstroke or lack of sleep or even something like decompression sickness from diving. Went out for dinner with the girls but felt like I wanted to be sick so tried to (mind over matter!) enjoy myself checking out the swedish beach party - a big stage on the beach and a LOT of swedes!) but ended up coming home early just felt quite shaky and nauseous. Hope to feel better tomorrow. Bit gutted was looking forward to a proper night out here as my time (and energy!)has been taken up with diving practical and theory.

Really need to figure out how to add photos.

Money spent: Breakfast (egg, bacon on toast) 60 baht, big bottle sprite 30 baht, dinner (barbeque chicken on squew and watermelon juice) 150 baht. TOTAL: 240 baht (4.80) Plus 8500 baht diving course / 170 pounds but not including that in my everyday budget!
