Day 19 (Saturday 4th November 2006)Up early, packed the last few little things and hopped on the ferry to Phuket. We'd have to say that Ko Phi Phi was our favourite place in Thailand. The busy little streets (nothing we're sure compared to what it will be in peak season) infact were no trouble at all, and if anything, created a kind of 'amongst friends' atmosphere. As for the snorkelling/diving, it is unparrelelled...but that's still a bit of ...

Day 17 (Thursday 2nd November 2006)Sarah awoke from her awful night's sleep...and no it wasn't a nightmare...she was about to begin her scuba diver course!!

Day 12 (Saturday 28th October 2006)We're absolutely itching all over!!! Those jungle mozzies had it off with us yesterday and now we are really suffering!! Aunty Wendy, you better ship us out some more repellent!!!!The morning was a bit cloudy and it rained on and off, but it did brighten up in the afternoon. Not put off, we had brekkie and kicked back on our beach...even when it's cloudy it's still bloody hot! We snorkelled the re...
