Phi phi today! We had found a company, and a nice lady boy sold us a daytrip to the islands. I was going to get bob there at last. The pick up was due for 8.20 but by 9.10 we were starting to wonder and it finally arrived an hour late. Thai time! The pick up trick slowly filled up and we finally made it to town and onto our speedboat for the day. Quite a nice boat the seagull took about 14 of us out to sea, past chicken island (starting to recognise rocks now!...

Not sure what the plan was we walked in which was lovely as got to soak up some sun and the shops on the way.
