Still on Koh Tao

Well we are still in Koh Tao, it really is weird not diving every day.  Tough to find things to do other than diving.  The weather has been up and down here, then again it is Monsoon season!  We will be here for two more days then off to Phuket, where we thought we might be able to volunteer for free on a Gibbon Rehabilitation Reserve, but that doesn’t appear possible.  Well we can volunteer, but it would be us paying them to let us volunteer.  Unfortunately it is a little more money than we planned to spend.  It is cheaper if you stay longer, but I don’t think we want to do it for 3 months.  I mean I don’t mind giving money as it is a good cause, but it exceeds our daily expenditure rate.  So instead we are looking at doing Mixed Martial Arts/Kickboxing/Yoga.  I have convinced Maryanne to at least give it a shot for a week and then we will decide if we want to stay longer.  Heck I probably need to see if I can handle it for a week!  As some of you know I am not the most flexible person in the world, but I do enjoy working up a sweat!  It is about 6-8 hours of training a day 6 days a week.  I have been talking forever about getting in shape, so what better way then having real fighters work my butt off!  We will get to Phuket on the 18th and spend two days in Phuket Town, were we will go down and check out the gym and see if that is what we want before committing to it.  If we do, training, accommodation and food (they have meal plans lol) only comes to $350 a week for both of us!  Can’t beat that!  If it isn’t then, well we have no idea what we will do!  Talk about flying by the seat of our pants!
