Here we are, 2009.... I only just started remembering to write 2008! It looks like its going to be another good year here on Koh Tao with the team here at Goodtime working hard on establishing more climbing routs and adventurous activities to give all visitors to our little island in the sun an experience they wont forget!
Yesterday I took Warren from Australia up to Mek's mountain for a full day of Rock Climbing and Abseiling. The weather was perfect, nice and sunny with a cool breeze keeping us refreshed as we scaled the rocks. After 4 hours of climbing we were very ready for lunch so hiked to Fraggle Rock (an amazing viewpoint overlooking Sairee) and ate our sandwiches in the sun. Then it was time to test Warrens nerves with our famoust Island view abseils. We warmed up on the 25m flat cliff then moved over to the 30m overhang suspended high above the tree canopy. It was a great day, thank you Warren for non-stop banter and cheeky comments about my lack of ability to tan "Pale Pommy"! Its only taken me three years in Thailand to become an offish white.... im getting there!
We also had Aussa and Erin come and join us for a spot of diving. Tim and Slade took them out for a private dive experience, the main aim being the avoision of any other boats so getting the fish all to themselves. Thats the way we like it!
First pub crawl of 2009 was one to be remembered......of what i remember! We had 36 people loaded into 3 taxis cruzing around Koh Tao causing havoc! Thank you MOOV, Dragon Bar, Choppers, Vibe and Lotus for some awesome cocktails and shots and great entertainment as always. I think the highlight of the evening was the 4 tiered 10 lady pyramid, well done girls! 
I also want to say thanks to Rick and his crew (a group of divers from San Fransisco) for creating an awesome vibe at GTA for the last few days, you guys rock! We have been doing a lot of diving the past few days with conditions getting better and better each day... 20m viz at Shark Island! My favorite dive has to be our Night dive at Twins, all other boats were parked up at White rock so we had the whole dive
site to ourselves. The phosphorescent algae was beautiful, was saw lots of free swimming rays, crabs, sleeping parots and even a couple of barraccuda on the hunt. It was awesome!
