... threw a piece of fruit into the water near you, they would all swarm over and it would be quite a cool sensation being amongst all the fish....until they nipped you...didnt think i looked like a watermelon but who knows...maybe this travelling lark is taking its toll!!! next we stopped at the back entrance to phi phi ley island. Here we swam a short distance to a ladder that descended from the cliff face...climbed up and over/through a small opening and onto the island.A short ...

Back to the chairs on the beach to read and swim another excellent day that lasted what seemed for ever.

Off to dinner at Jasmin's what a surprise Peter was there they decided not ...

This week has been spent getting things set up including my mosquito net. Praise to the inventor of sub-mosquito sized meshing! Last year I slept - if at all - in fear of mosquitoes and spiders which inevitably found their way to my legs and arms every night. Now, I sleep like a baby...even better than the babies here and sometimes manage to ignore the rooster that never learned he's only supposed to crow when the sunrises. Not ...

... to Ton Sai beach in Railay. A beautiful backpacker beach - mostly inhabitated by rock-climbing fans. We didnt do any rock-climbing, just a few days of lying around and reading but did meet a couple of nice English boys (Tom and Rob) - who we proceeded to spend the next week with. We spent a day snorkelling and another clambering over rocks to explore other beaches in Railay. After 4 days or so, we (the newly formed foursome) left Railay for the backpacker mecca of ...

... that's what Andi told me =) We were tourists & visited temples, then pretended to live like locals. Yesterday I walked to pick up our laundry and cut through the corner temple when a group of white people stopped me to ask for the postoffice. And I actually knew where the post office was, because just 2 days prior I had an experience there from which I'm still not sure if my post cards were sent. We've become ...

... Beach, for example, might set me back a mighty bail fine, less one kidneywallethairpiece, or a face full of tar. Here, however, Long Beach means sleeping in the spun sugar, heavenly tangle of a mosquito net, the saviour of your existence, atop a lumpy flea-ridden bed and a stained pillow, with your dear friend Kelly. This Long Beach is a leaky longtail ride away from Ko Phi Phi, one of the most notoriously serene, incomparably beautiful islands on this known ...

... the boats land). Three nights, three different bungalows--long story. We met Nole and Jeff and his sister Mary from Vancouver. We'd first met them in our resort on Koh Phangan. I ran into Roberto from Chile again. He told me about Haad Yao on Kho Phangan--I was heading back there after these few days here and based on his recco would probably go there. The Haad Sairee area had a little more to offer than Haad Rin on Koh ...

We reached Phuket at night. We took AirAsia flight and we lost one of our luggage! And everything that I need for daily use is inside that luggage! I was numb when I found out about it. I kinda expected it to happen as we checked in the luggage at a different counter as instructed by the girl from the AirAsia counter when we took our boarding pass. When we took to his counter for oversized luggage, the staff there just asked us to leave there. We felt it was weird as ...

... over into the oncoming traffic's lane, then back again. Keep in mind that although Phuket is the richest place in Thailand and is a resort island, the sights on the way to and from tourist destinations are poverty-stricken. The island itself is known for it's postcard perfect beaches with white sands and clear turquoise water. After the hour of driving concludes, we arrive at Rawai Muay Thai gym expecting to find John and Jeff there. I neglected ...
