Phi Phi Villa Resort Ko Phi Phi Don

... Me saco la foto y espero que me la envie para ponerla en este blog. Fue alucinante!

La chica volvio a vomitar. Que mal lo paso, con lo glamurosa que entro en la lancha.

La tercera fue la mejor, con una visibilidad de unos 15 mts y una cantidad de vida indecente. Volvimos a ver tiburones, pero esta vez eran de aleta de punta negra. Nosotros flotabamos a unos 12 mts y ellos aparecian de repente, giraban a nuestro alrededor a una ...

... for the victims of the 2004 tsunami and that swept across the island. Looking at the pictures and imagining the destruction and chaos was quite moving.

On Friday, we joined an all-day tour of Koh Phi Phi Ley, a nearby uninhabited island designated as a national park. Its biggest claim to fame is that part of the island was used as a set for the movie The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. We did some snorkeling and kayaking in ...

... nibbled our ankles!! This led to me standing on a rock in the middle of the waterfall trying to shoo fish away so I could get out. After that we went to see the Bridge over the River Kwai. On our final day we did a cooking course. First we were taken to the markets, it was a little scary as they eat everything here including bones of animals and we are not just talking chicken and cows!! The cooking was great fun by hardcore as it is all so quick!!

... but not hugely interesting compared to some that I have seen. Dinner at The Frog - very nicely decorated two level restaurant, balcony, garden patio and NO patrons. The economic downturn has definitely hit Southeast Asia. Everyone who works here has told me that things have really slowed this year and particularly since December.

... nationalities, and we especially bonded with the Thai staff at our lodge. Once we were settled we soon began to realise how right everyone was about this place.

We explored all the amazing rock pinnacles that stick up from the water, and gazed at climbers attempting some incredible cliffs.We tried snorkeling but the visibility was poor. However the kayaking was just the start of our ...

... East which to be quite honest looked like the tsunami had just hit it. There was debris everywhere and lots of building work going on. Our accommodation though was lovely, we had out own wooden hut and free breakfast which is always a bonus!! A 2 minute walk through another hotel took us to Railay West - this was a stunning beach and was clear why a lot of people come here on their honeymoon (not us though!!) Our first night surprise surprise it was still raining so ...

... for a week. took a tour boat over to phi phi le, famous for the beach. After a hot leo dream i was dying to go. it was every bit as nice, but a bit smaller then ud imagine (the beach, not leo silly). Met a few hot scots and some donkey of a fella (ya, marie scored him) and went drinking buckets with them. had to got to the toilet in the sea. Now i can say i went to The Beach, and left a floater in paradise. The most amazing thing happened when i went in. This ...

... that Trav and I saw was due to a climbing competition scheduled to take place just after we left Thailand. Of course, this is a climbing destination that makes climbers all excited about life and stuff, so it could just be that. Finally we saw the chicken. I'd espied it before lunch, but it disappeared, and I hoped that wouldn't be that. It wasn't. I didn't expect much. I mean, what can possibly top camel rock which honestly ...
