In spite of the fact that we're presently touring some of the most exquisitely beautiful islands we've ever seen, we're not having a great few days! Even Ric's beginning to think there's something to my OCD beliefs and thinks I'm cursing the trip! Today, as our boat to Koh Samui pulled out of Koh Phangan we realised we'd left our sodding passports at the hotel. The folk there took them when we hired the bikes and forgot to give them back to us, whilst we, so pained by the huge cost of our stay there, what with the bike accidents, forgot to ask.
Bugger.
Poor Ric is also in a lot of pain with his wounds and the news that he owes the tax man several hundred pounds didn't improve his mood (well it's actually his dad he owes now as he kindly paid it off in his absence). Yes, today was expensive!
However, after a funny convoluted phone call I've managed to persuade the people at Dream Hill to send the passports over so we can collect them from the port tomorrow morning. That's a relief.
The fancy spa hotel we wanted to stay at on Koh Samui was booked up when we got here (a first for us!) so we've got a room in some adequate bungalows right next door, close enough to utilise all the spa's facilities including facials, massages, saunas and even colonics if we want.
We're not sure about the 7 day fasting program this involves though. Ric wants some scientific evidence before he enters in to any such regime and besides he's spotted a couple of MacDonalds on the island!
Hopefully, things will start to improve soon, ie. NOW.
I have already had a massage, and a facial. Yes, that makes three so far on this trip. I reckon I deserve it after the recent bad luck we've had, and they are dirt cheap!
We're wondering what to do now and how to get around tomorrow. Bikes have suddenly lost their appeal although it really is a very efficient mode of transport, when you stay on them!
Ric understandably wants to let his cuts heal before we dive again too.
Hmmm. There are a lot of safari parks and waterfalls on the island we could visit and I spotted a Starbucks...
