The next morning me and David were really sporty, we got up around 7 am and headed to the long beach for a morning jog!! The view and the silence were breathtaking. It was weird to run barefoot but so nice to feel the soft sand under your feet. :) Then we headed straight to enjoy the buffet! We ate so much in there! Delicious!
Then we left for driving around the island. In the beginning it was rather difficult since we had many strong persons and each had opinions where to go to. We drove to this view point on the top of the island. I've never seen roads like that. They literally were so steep that when I went to lay down I was basically standing! The scooters weren't strong enough to get us up the steepest hills! The higher you went to roads became sand roads and had HUGE holes in them from the rains.. 
The view point was nice, tho we had to pay like 200 BAHT each to go there!! There was one small hut there and some local people were smoking pot there. We climbed even higher than the view point and it was nice there. But on our way down from the view point Marie fell with her scooter.. Our scooter was the first going down and we noticed some sand on the asphalt and shouted to Marie driving behind us to be careful.. Then we heard a huge crash but we couldn't stop immediately since the road was so steep. David ran back up and me and Lea waited with the scooter but when we didn't heard from them we went back up too to check the situation. Marie was okey considering the situation. Her legs were scratchy, and arms too.. The scooter was in bad shape.. Marie was brave enough to drive it back down even tho the roads were scary! We got our backs from the hotel and headed to negotiate the price we'd have to pay..
I can't remember how much we paid but it must have been around 1000 BAHT or so. Then we had time so we headed towards some restaurant on the beach just to enjoy the day and try to forget what had happened. :) The boat was SO OVERBOOKED!! That it was even a bit scary.. We literally didn't have any space, we stayed on the roof of the boat laying down on the bow of the boat.. I felt so sea sick there cause I only felt the rough sea and didn't see anything. Most people there were feeling a bit sick. Some young people on the boat were already drunk for the full moon party..
At the harbor we again waited for a while for people to take taxis to their resorts. We wanted to book tickets back before heading to our resort. Since the others were all working in Bangkok they had to leave back on Tuesday and I had decided to go back to Koh Tao since I really liked the island a lot! After our tickets were booked we took a taxi to our resort in the northeast of the island. The road to the resort was crazy!!! Dangerous! The journey there took almost an hour even tho the island is not that big but the driver had to drive really slowly to get there and to survive from the roads. Once we got there, omg, WHAT A PARADISE! I've only seen pictures and scenes in movies and this time it was real. Unbelievable. The resort was surrounded by the ocean and jungle. In the middle of nowhere. Internet worked only near the reception. One restaurant. Beach. Bungalows. That's it. 
We were already so amazed from the resort's restaurant and the beach but once we started walking towards our bungalows I was speechless. We all were. My words definitely won't do the justice to the place and the location were it was. We had to walk on the beach, climb on the slippery rocks at the end of the beach, almost crawl under this huge rock and once we opened the door to the bungalow.. WOU! Check the photos!
After getting over the shock of how amazing the paradise resort was we changed to our swimsuits and went to swim around 6.30pm! Then it was time to take showers, decide our clothes for the full moon party and head to eat at the only restaurant in our paradise resort. Then it was time for the FULL MOON PARTY!
