Back to Koh Tao
Yes, you read that right! We’ve been on a quick visit to Thailand and Koh Tao, we went Friday the 17th. And as usual it was absolutely wonderful to step into our home Frangipani Villa.
The house is getting nicer and nicer! This week we actually almost just relaxed, we have fixed a little bit with the house but not much. Aon and her team have helped us with some small things like: cut some branches so we have better sea-view, cleared the drainpipes around the house and set nets into them so we can collect rainwater now that the rainy season begins in October. Then they made the shelves in our storeroom.

We also met our lovely neighbors Niklas and Nettan and their children. We have not seen each other since we signed the contract on our houses in September 2009. It was really fun to see them again! We managed to take some ”cold beer” on their terrace and have dinner together! 🙂
But a week goes fast and Monday, 27th we were back home again. We already longing back as usual! But it is not that long until we’re back on the Rock again. We will again this year celebrate Christmas and New Year there!
And now our friends, we have just two weeks left before we step ashore on the Galapagos Islands for 8 days with the world’s best diving! Yay!!!
Have it great so far!
Hugs from us!

Love from us and Koh Tao!
Sunny days with friends!
The sun has come to stay!!
We really enjoying this lovely weather that we had for several days. We have snorkel in Hin Wong Bay, we have done sunbathing and swimming in Charlok Harbour, we have had lots of beautiful sunsets and we have done two really nice dives on No Name/Twin Rock and White Rock with Scuba Junction.
On Thursday Tomas friends from back home arrived to Koh Tao and they have done the most of the same thing that we have done! It’s soo fun when we have friends who come and visit us and we can show them the Koh Tao that we love. We try our best to make everyone to love the Island as much as we do!!
Tonight after the diving, we ate pizza and drank some beers on our lovely terrace with Marlene, Henke, Johan, Erik, Arvid, Henrik & Lina. Some still drinking beers… It could be that they maybe going to Sairee Beach afterwards.
Here you have some photos to enjoy!

Hello everyone!
Now we only have one week left until we leave to Thailand! And god so we yearn, we have really deserved this five weeks of vacation!
We have worked and worked like fools both of us and now it’s finally approaching!
Our lovely house are also getting finished, it’s not much left. We have received photos from Aon and it is really getting amazing! But all of you have to wait a little while longer to see what has happened until we get there. Then we gonna give you some great photos to you!
And we have promised you that you should get a blog-post a day and we should really try to keep our promises!
Another funny thing is that we have received our first booking at the house! Our first guests checking in on January 27 and checking out on February 3. We are so happy and hope they will enjoy their stay in our wonderful house! They have made their reservation through our advertise on Villa Renters. Check it out:

The winter is absent and we charge for the last week with rain and bad weather.
A week passes quickly and soon we’ll get ashore on our paradise island of Koh Tao and into our dream house Frangipani Villa!
Big hugs from us!

Happened since last time!
Hello there!
This has happened since last time we wrote. I, Linda, have come home from my family and friends in Jokkmokk. Here are some photos from the week that I had up north!
We have bought a new camera, a Canon Powershot S95. This is to have two cameras under the surface when we go to the Galapagos next year! So we don’t mess a hammerhead or a whale shark just because we don’t have a camera each… It would be a disaster! =D
We dis some test-photos when Tomas’s mother and her partner were here for one weekend ago. Check out the funny photos.
Then we got some new pictures of what is happening to our lovely house in Koh Tao. Now it’s really getting finished, the garden is almost complete. It is so nice! Check out Frangipani Villas beautiful garden!!
The time ahead is filled with mostly job, job, job. Norway have got half the tax in November so it is best to work as much as possible now! It’s only six weeks left until we step ashore on our paradise Island Koh Tao and our lovely house, Frangipani Villa!
Take care in the autumn darkness!
Linda & Tomas
Galapagos and 5000 visitors!
Yes, this is so wonderful!
For almost a month we have had more than 5,000 visitors here at our website, it’s just fantastic! Thanks to you all!
Then there’s an exciting thing to tell you ….In September 2012, finally our biggest dream will come true!
We have booked a dive trip to the Galapagos! Oh yes, you read correctly. Finally we get to dive with large schools of hammerheads, whale sharks, and manta rays. But we also looking forward to experience the Galapagos above the surface. The islands are truly a natural paradise for birds, tortoises, penguin and sea lions! We have dreamed about this a long time, ever since our first dive on Koh Tao and we began to scout out in the ocean of what can be found in the sea!
But this is not all..
Magnus Lundgren, one of Sweden’s best underwater photographers will be on the boat in the Galapagos. He will give everyone on this trip a Workshop in underwater photography, so we can learn to take even better pictures under the surface!
We will also combine the trip with a week on Bonaire in the Caribbean, for even more spectacular diving!
We yearn for this so much already, this will be an extraordinary experience!
Keep reading and visiting our site, we really appreciate it!
Big Hugs from us!
