Today was exhausting!!! It took me almost 12 hours to get here, but I'm now on the island of Koh Samui, where I'll spend the next 2 and a half weeks. :)
My journey today began with my boat ride back from Phi Phi Leh, then a 2 hour ferry ride to Krabi, a taxi ride to a travel center, a minibus ride for 2 hours to bus stop to catch an hour and a half long bus ride to another ferry terminal where I caught the hour and a half long ferry to Koh Samui, and then a 45 min minibus to my hotel. So tired!!!
A friend I made on one of the busses. An adorable little French boy :)
Above: One of my two ferry rides. This one was the vomit express. The seas were rough and it took its toll on many passengers. Thankfully, I don't ever get seasick!!! But man alive, was it unpleasant - the smells and sounds! Ugh! I put my earphones in and put my face in my lap on top of my bag until we arrived.
The island of Koh Samui obviously brings in more money that Phi Phi. In just the couple hours I've spent here this evening, grabbing dinner and walking to my hotel, it's clear that it caters to a different crowd. Higher end resorts, nicer restaurants, etc. My hotel this evening is the nicest I've stayed in so far on this journey. I paid more than I have been, or prefer to (still a steal at $32), but I know I need a good nights rest to recharge.
