Ko Phi Phi

Our hangover ferry from Ko Lanta to Ko Phi Phi - the guy in the background chirped and almost splashed Katie...barf-o-rama narrowly avoided! The view from our Beach Hut.The infamous buckets of Sangsom whiskey night, otherwise known as Cinco de Mayo... Full moon over our taxi boat ride Sucky pig suckin' up the view of Ko Phi Phi and it's two bays. Paradise... Snorkelling in Maya Bay. Our hungover ferry ride from Ko Phi Phi to Krabi. So, we have been so busy enjoying paradise here on Ko Phi Phi that we were in danger of abandoning the blog! We took the ferry over from Ko Lanta on Sunday morning. Spent one night at an okay place called Paradise Resort (but I'll admit, it was a bit on the stinky side so we quickly evacuated). Fortunately we found an aboslutely delightful bungalow at the PP Bluesky Resort!!! It is in the front row, right on the beach walkway, with a delightful little garden in front (ridiculously reasonably priced of course). We have been spending our days mostly at the beach, when we aren't getting thai massages or eating/drinking. We had a fun night of debauchery to celebrate Cinco De Mayo. We found a Mexican restaurant in the main town area (a quick jungle hike from our beach) and feasted on nachos, margaritas and green curry! Then it was off for buckets of Samsong wiskey (yes, you read that right - buckets - it is all the rage here). We have also hiked to the viewpoint where you can see both bays and the small island of Ko Phi Phi Lay. Speaking of PP Lay, we took a private longboat tour of that island today for some great views and fun snorkling! So absolutely gorgeous - saw the bay where they filmed the movie "The Beach". Also saw some really fun fishes, etc - our favorite was the giant eel! Alas, I must apologize for the absence of pictures recently, we have certainly been taking plenty but we have not had a convenient access point that we could upload from. Hopefully soon! Tomorrow we have a big travel day as we head back to the mainland, and then fly to Cambodia.
