We haven't had too much in the way of wind (apart from G!) but the rain just does not stop.
See what I mean!
Mathias comes rushing into the office & says the bridge at the entrance towards Big Blue has gone! Now knowing Mathias I just thought he was having another one of his Swedish moments- you know like walked into the wrong resort but no, our dandy Scandy was spot on! The bridge had gone. Of course it was the worst timing as the taxi's were just arriving with todays arrivals & the look on their faces when they saw the area was one of regret- that they had actually got here! I did feel sorry for them & guys if you are reading this Big Blue isn't usually underwater. Hope we can 
improve upon your first impressions.So anyway the bridge hadn't gone as such, it was just underwater. The stock room was flooded upto about waist height & unfortunatley we may have lost some t- shirts, & the handy man's area was chest high full of water. I think Nong Pan's computer might have died! We managed to make a marker where the bridge was supposed to be & then had a cruise around the neighbourhood to check out the damage. Silver Sand was flooded to a height just below the top steps
of their bungalows. Noori Indian Restaurant & Lotus Bar was where the river ran out & it was like a rapid there. So much so in fact that the foundations collapsed & Lotus now looks like its hanging on a tether! (Well that can't be good, where's everyone going to get hammered now? Oh yes of course Big Blue Bar!)So anyway Koh Tao is being washed out to sea. We are still here though & now our resort has a swimming pool! Eat my shorts Bans! We got a pool now too!
