Outbreak

After the overnight bus to Chumpon where i was devoured my killer mozzies, jeeeeeesssshhhh the bites are irritating me, we had to hop on this ferry to Ko Tao which was the most unbelievable trip ever. Rough seas and high winds make for green faces. After about an hour of rocking up and down on the bow, Celia and I decided to see if it would be less volatile at the stern. No chance. The people we saw there looked like they were straight from the set of a zombie movie or Outbreak 3: The virus takes Thailand. I have never seen such a collection of green faces in my life. By now the crew had begun handing out sick bags which were filled to the brim... yeach.

The key to my success, praying my hardest and staring at the horizon. This fortunately worked and 5 minutes prior to getting there i went to fetch Celia inside from the morgue. On my way i bumped into Richard, an old friend from our horror bus trip to Bangkok, he's and old hand at ferries so no illness there either. The faces of the other passengers were lime green though, about 90% sea sickness success rate. Next time we take the overnight ferry. I'll write that down.
