Arrival in Koh Samui

We had a nice plane ride on Bangkok Air,much nicer than China Southern. We negotiated our taxi to the hostel for 400 baht from 600 but probably still got ripped off. Our hostel is very nice but basically empty, and we lounged om the beach and then pool upon arrival before sorting out what we will do here. But on this island paradise you just...want...to ...slow...down and do nothing and just relax.

Because of time limits we will not try to visit Koh Tao. We are heading to Ang Thong NP tommorrow and intend to spend the night.

The owner/operator is named Sugar and she is quite nice. We will probably book most things through her while here.

Dinner BBQ:we wlked slighty inland for dinner and, as per usual, trie a random restauant. This one was far more confusing than most,and it took us twenty minutes to figure out that we collected raw food from the buffet and grilled/ boiled it ourselves at our table above hot coals. I thought it was brilliant, and Anna thoroughly stuffed herself, but bc we didn't anticipate shared cooking, my raw meats impeaded sam's ability to eat. But the night ended in a win when Sam successfully boiled two eggs in the half inch of water avaliable for cooking.

Watching the French Open now with Sugar. Both rooting for Nadal. Will shower once Anna and Sam are done. Played Go Fish and an atrocious game of pool before. Raining now.
