All good things come to an end. That unlike misery, which sometimes seems no end to come. But it was a great time here on Koh Tao and thus the moment of parting had come at once. The day before yesterday, we worked the last time yesterday, much of our stuff has already been washed and packed. Today, remaining so actually only one round to say hello.
A whole day we did not actually made. We had little inspiration. Yesterday morning we had some time to rush to the post office to be (our study were keen to go home), this morning no one waited on us. So last breakfast, last shower, coffee last, last five minutes on the bench before the house, toilet last visit, last sweep and so on. I was surprised how much crap we also have three months time, yet in that little house have managed to drag. But it's all gone.
Some things we no longer needed, but were too good to be disposed of (including a beautiful kettle). That we have kept separate and "carried forward" to friends who still remain on the island (although they are not all equally). As a farewell present for Ed made. A large bottle of Tiger beer with two postcards (and a loose crown and Chang Schweppes tin tab). It may be false sentiments, but it still seemed a good way to cozy drinks at sunset at the end of one day in the water to remember.
This afternoon we made a last lap Sairee. Anything viewed shops, the beach and walked 'beachfront' lunch. Then begrudged ourselves a massage. After all once the final days on Koh Tao. Both a delicious Thai style oil massage fee. Very relaxing and Thai massage for the first Judica.
And the scooter: who had also returned. But not before all the luggage was dragged out of the house. I did the ride from the house to the village so a few times up and down ride. A good way too much heed to the 'last ride on Koh Tao store. The bike had a few scratches behind, so we had to dock. Fortunately not much crazy, but given the size of the scratches but still a lot. Ah, a known problem here on Koh Tao.
Now we're the last to Pranee's Kitchen, waiting until our sinful Summer Citizens come to greet us. Four minutes ago, the first night movie, this time 'Fun with Dick and Jane (?) Started. To get him bite 8:30 we will continue to hang out, then we go on the boat. Which departs at 9 am for an 8 hour cruise to Suratthani, southern Thailand. Then with a minivan to the border with Malaysia in search of adventure in Penang. Frankly, my travel skills after 3 months rest and ease a bit rusty become so completely at ease I'm still not. But that good weather will come soon enough ...
