And the days continue...

Today I'm in a really good mood, and have been for ages.
Obviously.
Since I certified AOW I've been on about 5 fun dives which have been varying degrees of hysterical fun.
Virginia and I have been buddy-ing up loads, and we went snorkelling and I free dove down to about 5m to try and get Luke's attention and he completely ignored me when I was an arm's reach away.
Did a couple of swim-throughs (like underwater tunnels I guess... natural), and on one the air got trapped on the surface of the rock above and looked like mercury. And we saw a sea snake which was really cool. Oh, and Virginia and I perfected our parrot fish impressions. They are brilliant.
Then I did another dive where the visibility was just awful and we got lost and had to swim for AGES on the surface but saw some yellow-tail barracuda which was awesome.
Then there was a dive at Japanese Gardens which is pretty much the easiest dive site ever and me Virginia and Kim just got lost and started swimming East when we should have been going South and surfaced ages away from the boat. But Kim was pretty sure she was narced (nitrogen narcossis = when your blood has too much nitrogen in it and you generally act like your drunk or stoned) at 10m (practically impossible) and was admiring her amazing tan. Virginia and I were pretty much laughing the whole time, doing gammy hand waves at each other and more parrot fish impressions.
Went out last night with 2 new guys and Nell and got drunk in this amazing little rastafarian bar, then I got me and the boys lost and we ended up walking through knee-high grass and climbing under barbed wire fences then made noodles and passed out when I got home.
Tonight we're all going up to sunset view to watch the sunset and tomorrow I'm starting my rescue diver which is supposed to be lots of fun so I can't wait.
Am chilling out the rest of the day before heading to the DJL bar for a free BBQ because loads of people finished their PADI instructor training today so it's a massive last today.

Basically I'm loving it loads. My current friends are becoming better friends and everything is chilled.
And I'm still earning beers with massages and have found new ways to have my back sorted - there's a couple of medical students here and they just fix your vertebrae for you!

Anyway, I'm having to call my bank and then orange because my bag got stolen with my phone in it (gay), then I have a date with the twins to sit, do nothing, and eat.
Before you ask - yes, Koh Tao is a little bit like what heaven is.

Much love, hope everyone is happy and healthy. Keep in touch!
