So here it is the end is finally upon us, its been on hell of a good run, unfortunately though all good things must come to pass.

Koh Toa has been absolutely amazing. We finished our dive certification two days ago, both with flying colours. I think we are now hooked on the underwater world, the dives were absolutely amazing. There is so much diversity of life with in one square foot of coral, you could literally spend an entire hour under just looking at the same patch of coral.

The last couple of days we have spent hanging out with Charissa's cousin Michelle and her friends, its been a real hoot. Yesterday we went for a full day of snorkeling around the island, we saw black tip reef sharks and whales (a real rarity on the island).

Last night the 5 of us spent some time chilling on the beach, having drinks, listening to music and enjoying the warm evening water. A really nice way to end a good day.

Today, we are about to head out for breakfast buffet with Michelle and her friends. They are heading out this afternoon to Koh Panang (not quite sure how you spell it) to go and par take in the crazy full moon party. It was really nice to be able to meet up with family here, especially since its been so long since we've seen each other.

Today we enjoy our last full day and evening in Koh Toa. We will probably be beached until the sun goes down. It has been so... 'ridiculously amazing and special'.. to end such a fantastic trip in the most beautiful place we have ever been. Although we are sad to leave we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to travel and experience such surreal places.

So we drag our sorry bums to Bangkok tomorrow. 'Hopefully' the social unrest will be stable while we are there, we plan to make a quick entry and exit.

Looking forward to seeing you all, we will probably make one more post before our trip back home..... Cheers.
