Ko Phi Phi is So Phoo Phoo Epectations are a funny thing. I am not entirely sure where they come from. Possibly from the media, films etc and sometimes from others recommendations. So even though expectations are seemingly pointless and almost never met, why do I never learn? Ko Phi Phi is my example. Before I left England and in fact before we even planned this trip, I had expectations, maybe you could even say 'dreams' of how travelling would be. Imagined idy...

I had all the usual fears, like security and food and all the things that everyone warns you about.
