Greetings! We caught a boat from Phuket to the island of Phi Phi on Saturday. The sea was quite bumpy but we were only on the boat for an hour and a half so it was bearable. We were met at the pier by someone from the hostel we'd booked, which we thought was quite nice! As the island has no cars they took our baggage in a wheelbarrow to the hostel and we followed. When we arrived we were told that a massive storm was on its way and since the hostel that we'd boo...

Hey all! We finally arrived in Phuket on Wednesday after two plane rides and a very long bus journey around every resort on the island (we were the last stop, would you believe it?!) We weren't feeling too pukka from the rather bumpy bus ride and the bus driver kindly dropped us at the BOTTOM of a huge hill (which he then had to drive up anyhow), such kindness!

It is beautiful, set on a mountain top with views over the surrounding jungle and distant hills. We have a huge four poster bed, sitting area...

We woke up to clear skys and fierce sunshine, not the best day for walking 2km up the very steep path! :-) It was 37°C and the sun was pounding down. It certainly is very hot here! The hike was definitely worth it though, we stopped and had a dip in one of the pools and surprise suprise, Holly fell head over heels on a big slippery rock i...
