'Free' afternoon! So I took my brothers advice and decided I had to see Railay beach. I'm so pleased I did! After a great ride in the boat there the views were like a postcard and the water was lovely. Even I couldn't resist a swim! We were there for a few hours and then a thunderstorm came and so we headed back for a massage instead. When we got off the boat the sand was absolutely covered with baby crabs which moved as soon as we got near. The next day was the Phi Phi island tour via a speedboat which started at Bamboo island for a quick stop for swimmers. Then we went to a beautiful lagoon near monkey island and then stopped where they filmed 'The Beach'. Next was the first opportunity for snorkelling, which I attempted but failed! Still it was nice to get in the water anyway. After lunch I tried again and managed to do it twice! I will get there in the end!!
