Sad to be leaving Koh Tao after a great few weeks we boarded the early morning catamaran back to the mainland. Travelling in Thailand is a piece of cake; the resort booked all our tickets and phoned ahead to book a room for us in Chumphon. We were driven to the harbour where we were then given a sticker then it’s “wait here”, “go there”, you don’t have to think or worry about anything – it’s great!
Chumphon has a great night market that we’d missed last time we were here so we spent the evening sampling the local food. The lovely lady at the Suda Guesthouse had looked after our bikes and they were just as we’d left them. There was a pile of panniers and helmets from some other cyclists who’d done the same but decided to take their bikes with them.
We’re both looking forward to getting back on the bikes tomorrow, feeling fully rejuvenated after a long break from cycling.
