Last day in Lanta!

When we woke up on Wednesday the sun was shining and we made the most of it by heading to the pool for some sunbathing! I was happily reading my book enjoying the sun, while Ben was in the pool trying to break his personal records for holding his breath under water! The day before he had managed 1minute45 seconds, and was hoping to get to two minutes! He spent a long time under the water getting longer and longer, until he finally hit 2mins5seconds! The things you do on holiday!
After a nice morning by the pool we headed into town for some lunch. We headed back to the hotel for an afternoon of planning! We spent about two hours online, and me being Ben's secretary taking notes and writing all the plans down! We booked our bus and ferry for the next day to Pulau Langkawi, a Malaysian island, leaving at 7.30am and arriving at 5pm. We tried to ring ahead to book at a guest house we read about in our guide book, but couldn't get through, so thought we'd chance it anyway. We booked our travel right up until the 17th October,various flights and destinations!
Later on we headed out for dinner at a place recommended by the dive school. They served good pizza and were really friendly. It seems that the beach is starting to come alive at the high season begins, this was infact one of those lovely beach bars we had read about in the book. The lady who served us was really chatty and spent a long time talking to us, her name was 'banana', or glueye in Thai, which translates as banana! The owner was also really friendly, and it turned out he was from Perth, and was able to give us lots of info for when we visit there!
We enjoyed our last evening on Koh Lanta, ready to move on the next morning!
