Day 129 - To Tao!

I dozed on the roof of the boat in the sun, which was exactly what I needed after my morning of searching. On arrival I headed to meet the others at the Coral Grand Resort. This is a fairly fancy place with some simple rooms out the back which are half price for dive students - the girls convinced the chap at reception to let us have them, on the pretence that we were going to dive.

After an afternoon of swimming about and lying on the beach, we haded into town to find the others for dinner, then we found a campfire on the beach and sat around chatting for a while. This was all lovely, until at about 11 Marie and I realised we had lost our room key again, which will cost us 500 baht, and reception had closed at 10. We ended up banging on the door of the staff quarters, and waking up a girl who very kindly (and sleepily) got us a spare key and let us in, making us feel very guilty indeed. We've lost a beach towel too, which is another 500 baht fine. Bugger.

*update* The next morning as we checked out, we found that someone had handed in our key, and they had forgotten about the towel. Awesome!
