I pulled my shirt on and grabbed my shorts off the top bunk. To a cound of metal on metal then something rattling across the tiled floor. Shit. There goes my locker key.
After hunting for 20 minuets I decided it was time to call in re enforcements. I got in touch with the hostel and they Duely sent up a man with a big saw. It turns out my padlock was pretty good! It complety blunted two saw blades. Eventually, after another 20 minuets or so I had my passport and iPad in hand.
I hopped in a tuk tuk but realised half way to the airport I never checked out. That's a few more dollars I won't see again!
Throughout the corse of the morning I had not been feeling amazing. This led me to spend my last bit of time in Cambodia in a public toilet, chucking my guts up.
If your not aware of how western (sit down) toilets work in Asia, they have very high water lines. So as I sat down letting that end empty I had a huge urge to vomit. I flipped round just in time, heaved up, the velocity of it made a big splash and the enevitable splash back went all over my face. Uuuurghh, horrid.
I got through my first flight and into Bangkok. Here I took up from where I left off cowering in the toilets. Although when I got to security they took my peanut butter I had left in my bag and tried taking my sun cream. I persuaded them to let me squeeze my sun cream into an empty mosquito repellant bottle.
I arrived in Koh Samui. Grabbed my bag and payed the extra to get a speed boat to my hotel, I didn't feel like fannying about on a ferry for over an hour.
I had some light relief when I arrived at my dorm as a girl, hotter than the sun, who had been on her own their for a day was walking around in skimpy underware. This cheered me up no end before I crashed and burned for 14 hours, waking regularly in fever.
