Arrivedd in Ao nang about 1030am this morn. Got 2 hours sleep on bus last night. On the whole journey wasn't that bad. Had guy from Dublin sitting next to me keeping me entertained. Also met a brother and sister from Canada. Room wasn't ready so went for a little wander round. The place is a fair size but quite quiet due to low season. Weather seems good so far. Went back to Inn and basically passed out. Not an exciting first day.

Got up and went for a wander again and went for breakfast. Started to pour so sat in restaurant until it stopped. Decided to treat myself to a massage. Neck, back and shoulders which turned out to be a full body (not sure what you get if you ask for a full body - maybe next time!) and was persuaded to get a foot treatment. All for 250 THB (about a fiver). Booked myself on the Phi Phi Island tour for tomorrow and looked into the diving although ear been sore when I wake up the last couple of days. Chilled on the beach this afternoon, preparing myself for my first solo dinner in a proper restaurant!

Met a nice couple last night. Bit the bullet and had dinner for one then took myself off to a bar to watch the Men's Wimbledon Final, not that I particularly watch tennis. Phi Phi Island tour today. Weather was shocking this morning. It rained for bout 2 solid hours. It did not look good for a day out. Luckily it cleared up and was bright blue skies. Thought I was gonna be the only English speaker on the trip but luckily Janelle, the Canadian from the bus trip from Bangkok got on a a different stop. Had a really good day, it is amazing how much you get to see in a short space of time. Stopped at Bamboo Island, Maya Bay (The Beach), Viking Cave, a clear blue lagoon, Monkey Bay for some snorkelling/skin diving. The scenery her is absolutely stunning!

The last few days have been pretty chilled. Breakfast, a walk, and beach. Crispified myself yesterday while doing a bit of exploring. Randomly bumped into a rather large group of monkeys. Taking it easy today. Need break from sun after yest. Laundry (boring stuff still needs done). Finished my first book today. First one in bout a year. I travel back to Bangkok tomorrow. Leave for Beijing early on the 12th. Looking forward to having some company over the next week! Bit gutted didn't do any diving and know will prob regret it but not worth risk to ear me thinks esp. since I'm flying soon. Next time!
