After waiting in line for a half an hour I made it inside the office, showed them the booking on my phone and got my sticker (red 15) and my boat ticket for the next day and was told to come back in half an hour. I went and got a banana shake and bought some pineapple for the bus ride (I missed fruit!!) and then went and sat and ate my veggies and rice. After being herded down the street a couple blocks, buses started showing up and my red group climbed on our bus. To my disappointment it wasn't a sleeper bus like Vietnam but one with reclining seats. Still, it was much nicer than any of the buses I'd seen in the last month and a half! I put my earplugs in and tried to sleep, fairly unsuccessfully - so uncomfortable.
At 6am we arrived at the Chumpong Ferry dock and I brushed my teeth, washed my face and then ate my rice cakes with peanut butter (yup, all of this was in my carryon from the airport. I also had a pair of shorts I changed into! I was quite impressed with my packing abilities :) I watched sunrise from the dock and then got on the catamaran (first time on a catamaran!) bound for Koh Tao.
