Some notes from the day after Full Moon

I got the chance to go through some of my photos yesterday so here are a few more. These are all the day after the Full Moon party. The first few are of the ferry trip back to the main land. After leaving the party at around 9:30am, Han and I had a hellish car ride back to the bungalow which saw for a mostly quiet trip. Dresh and Mariah were fine if a bit tired and the three other random girls from Adelaide who also happened to be in the back of the cab seemed fine judging from their constant banter about how cute the guys were that they kissed at the party.

The end of the car ride saw Han and myself, heads over the embankment at the side of the road purging the sins of the night just gone. Dresh was at quite a loss at the spectacle of us kowtowing to the hot morning sun. It really must have been quite a funny spectacle for him and the German holiday makers who ventured past and offered friendly advice on how to control one's consumption during big party evenings.

We got back to the bungalow at 10am with the knowledge that we had to catch the ferry at midday. A daunting task for anyone after such a big night, however we had the added challenge of carrying out 2 extra packs as Matty and Nat had to leave direct from the party in order to get a connecting flight from Samui to Bangkok.

Han and I passed out for about an hour before Dresh got back from breakfast to say that it was 11 and we should get moving if we were going to make that ferry. At that point it looked like it wasn't going to happen. Our powers combined still only amounted to the equivalent of on person with their worst ever hang over. But something clicked, and I found myself heading out the door, packs and on hobbling up the hill for a cab. Han had his packs on and Dresh was ready roll so before you knew it all three of us were in the back of the cab heading for the ferry.

We got to the boat with time to spare and had to wait around for a while before getting to broad. Completely wiped out once we did, we along with other party goers, who no doubt had their own ordeals in making this departure, all collapsed in a collective heap of exhaustion.

I did manage to summon enough energy to do a bit of exploring to get some of the deck.



Packed in.

The island had already disappeared.

We then had to catch a train from Suratthani. Just a couple of pictures from this stretch of the journey. It was an over night train so most of the journey was spent in a very much needed state of unconsciousness.



Moving on.



I guess this is us (Han, Dresh and me) recovering.



Sun-set.
