Exploring Koh Tao

As beautiful as our beach was, we wanted to explore the entire island. One afternoon we rented a motorbike and discovered Freedom beach - very small and isolated. The trees provided natural shade for Don's pale skin!



The next day we ventured further afield, and discovered Hin Wong Bay. A beautiful bay (no beach though) with crystal clear water. It looked strikingly like Maple Bay, British Columbia where Don's Dad & Stepmom live, only WARM!



As we walked out to the end of the rickety peir we noticed a natural fish nursery. The shallows around the boulders were home to thousands of guppies. We can't seem to upload the video but will when we get a chance.

That evening we left Koh Tao (sadly) on a night ferry, that had basically a huge bed on the middle deck with assigned places. Thankfully it wasn't full so we could spread out more than the small slots dictated.
