Delays, delays...
One thing I recently found out I dislike with being stuck with Koh Samui's wild monsoons for a week is; When the power on the entire island gets cut for days and you're unmoveable out of the bed from fever flue, daily paying for A/C, fan, TV, hot water shower and DVD feels a tiny bit pointless. Glad they didn't charge us for a window, cause not even that fresh air option is existing here.
Alrighty, if you happen not to be ill... Beachbeachbeach!! But.. It's raining. Quite a lot. Let's go inside for a movie. Oh no, no electricity. Let's play some cards. Nope. A window-less room equals darkness.
And as we're speaking, we do neither appreciate very much that...:
* No boats go to or from the island. Which slightly ruins our plan, since our Thai Visa ran out yesterday. Bonus: The fine amount is times the number of day and there is still a long way to go.
* Food doesn't taste as good beyond locked doors and glass windows. Unreachable since shops and restaurants are shut because of the power cuts. At least we're hardly running out of water.
But there is always positive sides as well...:
* Our concerns about running low in cash (every single ATM closed) was not too necessary, since there is nowhere to use our Baht notes in the dark.
* I do like candles. Feels a bit like christmas.
But now... the power came back late last night after a couple of very dark days+nights stuck in the room. Fever is gone, ATMs are turned on again and all we're waiting for right now is a boat to take us to the mainland. Fingers crossed, we'll make it cross the border to Malaysia and be on Tiamon island within 24 hours!
