Before we got on the overnight ferry to make our way to Koh Pengan we were approached a man selling his hostel. After a little bit of contemplating we decided the free taxi ride and not having to worry about a place to stay would be a good thing. (we would find out later it was on the very top of the island and the full moon party was at the bottom, HUGE problem)
A little tired and a little soar we arrived at Koh Pengan. Rooney had a pole in the middle of his sleeping area and consequently was a little more tired then the rest of the Wolf Pack. (At this point was Rooney, Jesus, Tom, Merrill, Jerome, Hafa and I). Due to Rooney's lack of sleep and the fact his bed was next to them we also meet two more Brazilians. (Paola and Dennis)
The free taxi was pretty easy to find and we piled in the pack of the truck. The route up to our new abode would have been very enjoyable but we were still half asleep. We quickly checked in and found our room. The nap was cut short due to the fact it was unbelievably hot. So we quickly moved to the pool. Rooney, Jerome, Hafa, Paola, and I played some cards. We are taught a Finnish card game by a Frenchman. It was fun but we did not finish because of swimming breaks.
After some careful thought we decided that we should only stay at this place for one night because it was two far from the Full moon party beach. So we did the most logical thing, rent a fleet of motorbikes. With are newly acquired fleet we took to the streets. The only issue became that with two of us on one it they were unable to make it up the large hills. Since Rooney was driving I had to walk up two hills on the way to the beach. When we arrived to the beach to check it out they were moving towers of speakers in. It was at this point the we became really pumped. Now that it was dark and inconvenient we decided to look for a new hostel. We went up and down but found a surprisingly close place to stay. It was on another beach and had a room with AC. After booking it was back to top of the island in the dark. This made the fact that we were two heavy to make it up the hills less of an ego hit.
After a couple of drinks by the pool we headed off to bed and hoped that the room would not be as hot as the morning.
