Random firecrackers on the beach this morning as we walked to breakfast. This is the third time we have heard them. Is it tourists who are reveling in their legality? Or the locals celebrating yet another Buddhist holiday? We aren't sure but its a fitting way to leave. We are hanging out at our favorite beachside restaurant. Literally hanging out! as like many restaurants in Koh Tao this one features low tables and triangle cushions. I have seen groups of backpackers sleep here for hours while waiting for a taxi to the ferry. Today it is our turn to wait. We are back to Bangkok tonight on a night train then another night train north. One way to stretch our budget as this island was a bit expensive. Rule one of travelers-buy local! It was tough here as the stores seem be stocked with nothing but foreign junk food.
We will miss swinging on the beach, (every dive shop has a giant swing)
Our fabulous beach bungalow, snorkeling on the reef, and drinking mango shakes with sand in our toes. Time to move on.
