So Thursday morning I turned up for yoga on the beach. I was the only person that turned up so I had a 1on1 for 2 hours. I was quite cool but I prefered the lying on the floor 'relaxing' much more than trying to do impossible posses and hold them for 'just a few more breaths'.
As soon as I sat down the instructor told me I dont do much sport. Aparently she could tell because sportsmen can't sit cross-legged. It is good for yoga though because it means my muscles have not become too contracted and can stretch more.
Some of the posses, the balance ones in particular were quite easy but others were impossible. Apparently I have high blood pressure because I got dizzy doing the shoulder stand. I don't know what the type of yoga was called, apparently there are many variations but it was fun overall.
In the afternoon I rented a mo-ped with Johnny, the Canadian I met when I first arrived on Koh Tao, and Laura, a scottish diver who is in the room opposite me. Laura and I wanted quad bikes but they only had manual ones sowe thought we would save ourselves the embarrisment of trying to work out the gears and get automatic mo-peds like Johnny.
So we set off down a random road which very quickly turned into an unpassable and trecherous[cant spell] path. Unfortunatly we had made it to the top before realising that it got worse and that it was going to be a very dodgey ride back down!! We were basically on slicks and Lauras back break didn't work at all and her front one just locked up all the time. We made it down in one peice and decided to stick to the main roads. After cruising around a bit we stopped for a bit of mini golf which was very funny [ I won :P], it even had a castle!!
Yesterday I went on a boat trip around the island, which I thought was kinbd of a sight seeing tour but turned out to be a snorkalling day. None of my equipment fit properly and I ditched my fins after 5 minutes but it was still pretty cool. It turns out I am not as good at sun-creaming my own back as I thought though. I got a bit burnt right in the middle of my back.
So now I am waiting for my taxi which will take me to the pier for me to begin my journey to Chang Mai. It will be sad to leave, Koh Tao is easily the best place I have been to so far but the show must go on and even though I have only drunk once while here, I have still managed to spend alot of money.
Bring on Chang Mai, wish me luck for my 30 hour journey!
