Time to move again.
After spending four party filled nights in Ko Pan Ngan, it's now time to hit the road again as I move on to Ko Phi Phi.
I've heard many wonderful things about the island, which was the setting for Leonardo Di Caprio's the beach.
It was also one of the islands that was devastated by the 2004 boxing day Tsunami. While the island is now back on it's feet again thanks to aid workers, volunteers and the tourism industry, it will be interesting to visit to see how it has recovered.
I intend to do a little more diving while I'm in Ko Phi Phi. I'm not sure it's going to be as cheap as Ko Tao, but I've heard there are common sightings of sharks which would be fantastic to see.
I'm still travelling with my Spanish friends which is great, and my Spanish is constantly improving.
Today we had another relaxing day. We went to the local beach (pictured) which wasn't as idyllic as yesterday, but still a million miles from Blackpool pleasure beach.
The journey begins 8:30 tonight. I'm a little worried about the motion sickness and the lack of space on the sleeper boat, however the sea is much calmer than the journey from Ko Tao and I am aided with sea sickness tablets which will hopefully do the trick.
I'm unaware of the wifi situation in Ko Phi Phi, so if blog & Facebook updates are few and far between please fear not!

Irene and Tom Well done on the diving, Nathan. Are you after a career change when you get back? You'll be able to dine out for years on the tales that you'll be able to tell when it's all over.
