We booked an island boat day trip for koh phi phi and the surrounding islands. Our first stop was bamboo island.. It was quite literally an island of white sand, reaching out about 30m from the nearest trees in the centre. Something you see in the movies. Next we went to the lagoon, a beautiful little area where for a few hours of the day when the sea level rises you can get a boat in and your surrounded by cliffs on all sides, makes you feel very small.

We got the ferry back in the morning at 10.30.. Worst thing for my body was getting on that boat.! Stirring my insides about! We made it ...

We met up with Jord's parents who were also staying on the island, but on the nicer bit.! They had brought over a few presents from home and had a Christmas morning in their hotel room haha. I got my liquorice alsorts, wine gums and haribos.! Another couple staying at Rose and Deans hotel let us borrow their scooter to nip back to our hostel and pick up our backpacks, to save is carrying them.. Before we went inside I told Jord to lock the bike with the back of ...
