Caught the early morning boat to Koh Phi Phi which got us there about midday. We both were still smug at how a foreign 'ignorant' girl pushed her way through to the front of the queue to get on the longtail boat and then fell flat on her back when getting in, ha!

We arrived at the gorgeous harbour of Phi Phi and after finally getting through the herds of hotel touts we dropped our bags at a cafe and Dave went off in search of a hotel. Half an hour later he returned with no room so then it was Claire's turn - walking through the maze of tiny cobbled streets, getting cheesed off with the stupidly expensive price of rooms (1000baht for a fan room - 15quid!). She had to finally settle for a cell, with no window and again no flush on the toilet, at about 9quid a night. It is painted in bright illuminous yellow paint though so it doesnt look to grim!

We then wandered around the town and booked onto one of our first of 5 adventure dives and a fun dive tomorrow morning.

We then went round the bars in the afternoon and evening trying to spend as little as possible, but know that it's going to be hard as this town is mainly holiday goers so doesnt really cater for the budget traveller!!
