Subject: Post: Two days on the island have passed. Yesterday was a rainy and stormy day, with heavy rain showers and strong wind continuing all night. Between the storms we had a chance to rent a scooter from our hotel and start exploring the island, although at some point getting stuck for an hour on a beach waiting for a horribly strong rain shower to end. Roads on the island are steep and curvy, providing a lot of challenge (not sure if in a fun way) to drive around. Especially as the scooter is not exactly overpowered for two people to climb up the very steep hills, neither are the brakes to descend them. Wish I had a proper motorbike.. Well, most of the time the scooter works just fine, and it's necessary to get around on the island as distances are still not so short outside the "downtown" area.Today morning I went to dive with the Finnish dive company here, Koh Tao Divers. The rains had messed up the water quite badly, so visibility was just a few meters and there was not too much anything special to see. Let's see if tomorrow is better for diving, as the weather today has been fine and the water is starting to get clear again.Otherwise the second day was spent just as the first one, driving around the island on a small scooter, laying on a beach for a while and so on..
