Today we rented a scooter and discovered the island. First of all we drove to Sairree Beach which is the biggest beach on the island.

At the beach we enjoyed the sun and went swimming. We figured out that there was a place near the beach where we can work out and so we did.

There were several machines like benchpress and pull-up bars where we could work-out. It felt good to do a good work-out after a long time without it. After our work-out session we continued to the next beach, it was approximately 5 km away. On the way to this beach we drove on roads full of sand through little villages. In Ko Taoh everybody drives a scooter, we saw even three persons on one scooter. Generally the scooters have 125 cubic and  a maximum speed between 80-120 km/h. The roads down to the beaches in Koh Tao were very steep and rocky. It was really helpful that the scooter had a lot of horsepower.  When we arrived at Freedom beach we first of all went into the water.

We swam for about half an hour. Than we returned to our place situated below a palmtree in the shadow. We enjoyed almost the whole day tanning and driving around to various beaches. We ate at a famous resort which also had an infinity pool. We decided to swim in the pool before having dinner.

When we returned to our hostel (Asia Divers Resort) we had to lay down in our beds because the sun was too intensive and we both got burned.

Luckily we bought After Sun Lotion and so we managed our sunburns quite well. We went to bed early to be prepared for our big snorquelling trip the next day. By the way I haven’t told you guys about the accident which we had when Leonid was driving, we injured ourselves really much and Leonid is now at a hospital with a broken hand.

Don’t take life too serious… It’s the first of April and in Germany it is allowed to make jokes on this day to make fun of the reactions of others. Enjoy your days folks, everything is okay and we are both happy and healthy.
