Hello from Krabi. we are back on the mainland after exploring the southern islands of thailand. internet much faster and a much more western feel about the place i.e the kfc we just ate (sorry mum) we are about to go to ko phi phi where the beach was filmed me for the first time mat for the 3rd time?!? really looking forward to it. CJ will then hook back up with his swedish mates chris and chris, its been good travelling with him, he is such a laugh! ko lipe was really nice. such a relaxed place with very little going on. lots of couples probably on honeymoons and stuff. the beach was great and the snorkelling was brilliant. we swam up to this purple coloured coral and little finding nemo fish (clown fish i think?!?!) swam up to our masks, its was so cool. its so hot at night at the moment, we saw the occasional xmas tree in the krabi streets and its really strange to think its nearly christmas. the only annoying thing is the damn mosquito's and even more so that mat doesnt get touched. lucky git! i have to coat myself every night. the people are so friendly here and always smile. having a great time. even though its pretty much been 16 days maybe?!?! we have done sooo much and much more to come. keep looking at the pics and leaving messages, miss you all.
