Friday 3rd August We woke up early to do one final site seeing, the view point. It was a long 40 minute walk to the top of the highest point, but we got a fantastic view of the island. The part connecting the two high points is incredibly small; no wonder most businesses here got wiped out in the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. Most businesses have been rebuilt now and a better warning system has been put into place. Must be quite scary hearing the alarm and heading fo...

(For some reason this stupid blog doesn't recongise Phi Phi, so we're in Ko Lanta!) Wednesday 1st August We woke up early…or in my case, I couldn't sleep, ready for our pick up to the pier. It wasn't too crowded and we boarded the boat and enjoyed the short trip to Phi Phi. It was a horrible trip, I wasn't feeling too good and the sea was really choppy. I could see the waves going over the port hole windows. I felt really green, but I managed not to be sick! ...

The taxi driver tried to charge us more after he realised where we were going, but we refused and said it was...

Sunday 15th July We woke up and were on time for our pick up, it was late however.

What made me laugh that the Irish girls were complaining the others were late but they were late by 10 minutes too. Even with the taxi being late. They also had a ridiculous amount of luggage with them. Soon we arrived at the ferry pier where i...

Saturday 7th July We got up nice and early and waited for our pick up to the ferry port. There wasn't as much of a rush to get tickets as last time, thank god! We had some breakfast at the pier before boarding the boat and heading to Koh Tao. There was the usual scrum of getting bags, which is getting tiring now and disembarking and heading over to Crystal diving. We started to fill in our health and safety forms etc and I ticked I suffer from asthma, and the...
