Koh Tao -- "Turtle Island"

So, during the hedonistic leg of the trip, we took an overnight train, a bus, and a 2 1/2 hour ferry to the island of Koh Tao (a.k.a. Turtle Island) in the Gulf of Thailand. We stayed at the Thipwimarn Resort, which we struggled to pronounce for the four nights we were there. Koh Tao is known for scuba diving and wasn't bad for snorkeling, either. (Pete thinks he watched too many Jacques Cousteau specials and/or "Finding Nemo" because he doesn't think he has realistic expectations of what a good coral reef should look like. Koh Tao was nice, with lots of colorful fish, but didn't seem to have anything on St. John.) Very relaxing time!
