Ive just written a huge email and it suddenly deleted itself !! So I'll try
again.
We have just managed to change our flights to australia. We were meant to fly
on wednesday, but have been meaning to put the dates back for a while as we
havnt finished SE Asia yet, and also having been ill for a week in CHang Mai.
We tried a few times to change the flight and were told that the best thing they
could do was to put us on a waiting list, and for us to phone the day before we
fly. That would mean that we would have to fly to Singapore anyway by that date
in case they couldnt change the flights. Anyway we decided to ask if we could
change the route and go to Melbourne, which we've done. Its cost 75 pounds each
to change the flight. We're now flying on the 17th December to Melbourne and
then to Sydney ourselves.
We came to an isand called Phi Phi today. Its a really beautiful island near
Phuket, where the film 'The Beach' was filmed. We got a ferry from Phuket which
included a 'tour' of 'The Beach'. Its really baeutiful, but such a shame as its
so touristy now. The beach was packed with people and our boat stopped off the
coast so we couldnt go on the beach. We were given snorkles to go snorkling
which was good, but you were jammed with other tourists. I really like it here
though. The island is pretty small and how you imagine it in the broucures. It
has white sandy beaches and clear warm water. The island still has lots of
jungle which comes up to the beach.
We got a bungalow for tonight. Its very basic. Just a small manky bed, a
toilet and a hose with cold water. This afternoon we bought some snorkels and
went snorkling, which was good, and tommorow I want to get a canoe or boat and
go around the island. We might also go diving.
