We expected to get dropped off at the pier around 6am and the first boats leaves at 7am to the smallest of the three gulf islands, Koh Tao, our destination. Surprise! surprise!.. at 2:30am we get dropped of at the pier!! 3 and a half hours ahead of schedule! There was nothing at the pier except a cement pad with a few park benches, a few lights and a closed ticket office. We laughed and sat a around fora bit, not really sure what to do. There wasn't anywhere to go. We grabbed a bench and set up camp as we put our long shirts and pants on to help protect us from the swarms of blood thirsty mosquitoes. We tried to get as much sleep as we could but it was so hot, humid and sticky and there were sooo many mosquitoes. I was fortunate to falls asleep for a few hours (thanks to my Bayda genes), Jeremy on the other hand sat up all night and didn't sleep a bit.
The first boat to Koh Tao did leave right on time at 7am. It was three hours on the boat to Koh Tao and when we arrived, we were soo happy to see our resort guy waiting for us at the end of the pier. It felt like the long journey there but the island was stunning and we were soo excited to spend the next three days there.
