Week 11- Thailand (PhiPhi) Day 6
Today we left for Phi Phi yay! It was raining a little and the sea looked a little choppy. Little did we know that we was in for a treat on this boat ride :/. When we got further out into sea it was so choppy, people were vomiting all over the show and it had only been 15 minutes. Me and char quickly took some motion sickness tablets just in case, we shoved our earphonesin to drain the sound out of people throwing up. The worst boat journey ever, we have never been so relieved to get onto land! Phi phi has no cars, there is just a 'main street' where most of the bars and restaurants are on. We had no idea where we were going and obviously looked quite lost as a lad stopped us that worked in a divers shop gave us a map and pointed us in the right direction. Thankfully it was only about a 10 minute walk away and we found it easily! The room was very basic but was ok!
We dumped our stuff and headed out for some food and to try and book a boat to Lipe. After asking around multiple places we were told that there are no boats running from Phi Phi to Lipe as it is low season. It would involve getting and boat and bus to Krabi then sorting out a boat from there. We had already booked our hotel in Lipe and was going to get charged the full amount if we cancelled. What a mare! We managed to call the hotel in Lipe and spoke to a guy who said he wouldn't charge at all but we had to cancel with booking.com, we also got him to speak to a lady at our hostel to confirm in Thai. Booking still wanted to charge the full amount, but after several emails and phone calls later they confirmed that they weren't going to charge, phew!
We had been recommended to go to Joints grill (all you can eat BBQ) which was fairly cheap so we decided to go there for dinner, Charlotte was in heaven! We both at far to much and ended up waddling back and passing out in bed!
