dec 14-2009 left phuket this morning on to another island of ko phi phi. we got into a bus more like a oversized bus.
we headed to the pier where we where to be on a ferry across the water. the ferry was a great ride me and amy sat on the
front of the boat where it felt and looked like a front of a yacht, there where some israel guys up there also and we
where all soaking up the rays. the israel guys where in a band so they continued to sing songs , which made for a
fun mode of transporataion to our new island. the ride brought many sites of different islands scattered all over
the ocean, when we where arriving to koh phi phi you could see the giant cliff walls and maya beach where 'the beach'
with leo dicaprio was filmed, looked amazing, the water was getting bluer and bluer the closer we got to shore,
thailand is breath taking, best sight i have ever seen. We got off the ferry and we where to look for accomadtion,
we meet 'jan' a girl from holland who was travelling by her self so we made friends with her and we all found
a place together. we are staying a phi phi villa it is small little beach cabins right on the beach, they are
super cute, the best thing about koh phi phi is that there are no motorized vechiles aloud except for boats, so
when we booked the room they told us free transporate to the room , lol which was us walking! after getting settled
into our little cabin we headed for the beach, the tide was low and it seemed like you could walk for miles with out
it getting deep. i soaked in the water for a bit and then when walking in i stepped on some thing in the water and
sliced my left foot open , it felt like a nail punchering through, it hurt really bad , and i had injured my right foot
a few days earlier so i am not in good walking condition :( lucky i bought that travel insurance you never what will happen!
in the evening we went out for dinner and we meet a few people from india and from the czech republic, we all ended up having
drinks together, and headed for our first beach party! when we got to the party on the beach there was rings of fire and people
where jumping through it, i decided why not and yes i did jump through it! i dont know if the theme of this beach party
is fire but there was jump rope fire , limbo fire, and every one was covered in paint all over the body and it was continous
tech music all night, it was really fun, you could get drinks in plastic buckets. it was really fun and all of us girls had
a great time dancing !
dec 15-2009 woke up at 5am to the sound of ' ummmmmmmm ummmm' there was mosque beside us and the praying was started lucky
the sound only lasted for 5 minutes because we where soo tired. when we finally did wake it was 9:30 and us girls where
feeling a bit hung over and the looks on every ones painted faces was hilarious
:( we had breakfest and decided this would be a chill day , so back to the beach we went for more
sun bathing, today was very unproductive but it is still great to lay out on the beach and look out at all the small islands.
dec 16-2009 ummmm ummmmmmmmmmmmm the sound of the praying mosque awaking me again at 5:00 am ! today we are going to book
a our first long boat ride around to different islands, we left at 10:00 and we saw stopped to snorkel first
where they told us there was sharks in the water, i kept thinking oh no what happens if i see one i will have a heartache!
they said they get whale sharks here which are 50meters big ! ahh i could not even imagine seeing one well i was snorkeling
luck enough i didnt, just saw the usual coral and bright fish which are still amazing! we headed to our first island
where we passes a viking cave on the way it looked really cool and somthing you would see out of the pirates of the
carabiennes without johnny deep lol. our first stop on the long boat was to the blue lagoon, it looked identical to out
of the movies, i was so excited i dived in and i forgot about my sunglasses they where know long gone to the blue lagoon,
supposably there is no fish here so we just swam, the boat came in through two stone walls and was opened to a circle
of blue water and no beach, it was so beatiful. after our swim we got back on the boat and headed to another snorkel
area in this area there was caves so you could swim through and dive under, there was alot of coral around the caves
and the walls of the caves where really sharp, the current was strong and i finally worked up alot of nerve and swam
under the cave wall i thought i was going to run out of breath but i didnt but when i came up for air there was the stone
wall again and my body dragged along it , again i am all full of scrathes and wounds lucky this salt water will keep the
cuts clean, but when i did get back onto the boat i was dripping blood from my elbow legs and feet the driver of the boat
was some old man and he put what i thought was cloves on my wounds for a remendy but then i later found out it was just
tobbaco and he was smoking it, i really did think i had some cure from the thai plants! after soaking on the boat we where
arriving into maya beach this is the place where 'the beach; was filmed with leo dicaporio it was so nice and again it was
secluded , felt like i was in the movie, they gave us lunch it was rice with chicken i am not sure why but i dont have
a appetite here just want fluids, probably due to the 35 degree tempertures here every day. the boat driver was so weird
though he was about 50 and was 100 pounds and had decayed teeth, and keep trying to hug me soo weird and creepy but he
did let me drive the long boat and it was alot of fun i drove it for about 30minutes and i was fun driving over the
adamun sea, for some reason felt relaxing! we headed to beach called monkey beach and the name descirbed it all there
where monkeys all over the beach and when we got off the tourists where feeding them bannanas but for some reason
they went crazy and about 20 monkeys chased 10 toursits into the water and where screatching it was so funny and scary
at the same time, i was in the water at this time so i watched it all lol. i did before the crazy monkey break out i
did get a good picture beside one! we watched the sun go down on the boat and it was the brightest sun i have ever
seen it was bright orange in colour and seemed to go down in 10minutes. it was a all day event we left at 10 and got back at
7 .
december 17-2009 my birthday lol i woke up this morning to josie singing happy birthday to me in her under wear lol it was quiet funny. today we packed up our bags and headed to krabi for a new island, we walked to the ferry pier again with our heavy packs on. i really wanted a cab ride but here in koh phi phi there are no vechiles or motorized transoport aloud which made for a real cool island. we got on the ferry and again me and amy sat up top and soaked up the rays well josie sat inside with the air-con. we got to krabi and headed to 'ao nang' the girls had booked a room for my birthday we where staying in hostels and crappy guest houses so this is total luxury. i was so excited. we got the hotel and had welcome drinks and when we got in the room the bed was soo huge it was like a king and queen bed put together us 3 girls where so amazed, we all had a nice hot shower and got into our white robes and slippers and slumbered on the bed, we ordered room service and chatted. lol i felt like was in the movies it was a perfect girl evening. thanks so much to them :) for the evening we all got dressed in cute party dresses and combed my hair for the first time on the trip i even felt pretty they took me to a cabaret show and we watched boy-girls dance it was so funny, then we went out for some drinks and danced all night, oh yes and i held a monkey on the street and it peed in my hand ewww so gross all the weird stuff always happens to me,
