Early start this morning, me and the Doc had a big breakfast pre-ordered and got our energy up for a big day out on the open seas. We set off early out to our first island for some snorkeling and picnic lunch, I sat out of the snorkeling due to my foot and cracked the sads for a little bit but got over it when Jody came out so I sat with her while she cooked herself for awhile on the beach.
Lunch was good, and we were off again. This time free to roam the next island, everyone went their separate ways so Leyton and I found a cool place in the shade as we both fear the sun as you can see by our milky completion.
Today we left J Mansion early on a bench seat bus to the long tail boat to take us to Ko Yao Noi, a small island where we will be staying in huts.
There was an hour to kill while we waited for the boat to arrive so Jodie painted our nails….very hetro I know.
We finally got our boat ride and arrived at the ‘ Cottage’ which had awesome little huts, Leyton shotgunned the double so I got stuck with the single. We had a little afternoon entertainment as well as Brooke (the NZ girl) showed us how to open a Coconut.
Today we got up early after a night on our Duty Free Bacardi and to my slight disappointment headed off on the elective trip to Phi Phi Islands on a snorkeling trip. It started out really well, I bought myself a towel on the way so was all set.
Our first stop was pretty good and got in some awesome snorkeling however on the second stop as I jumped out of the back of the boat I landed right on the coral and cut myself. At first I thought ‘that will need a band-aid and then another girl came over and said “you need to get out of the water…now”.
So I looked back and there was a massive cloud of blood behind me (we were in open water too by the way), so I got back into the boat and there it was squirting all over the place…and that’s how I used my brand new beach towel.
This morning we headed for some breakfast on ‘Kao Sahn Rd’ and ended up getting back late to the hotel and then missed our first meting with the group – I blame Leyton or should I say ‘LATEon’ I thought we had missed the first Temple tour and would have to spend the day at the pool …..but we found them in a back room so we were all good to go.
The temples were interesting, heaps of tourists there though. Funniest thing was when Leyton and I were coming down the steep stairs from the top of a temple along with about 3 or 4 other people and an American woman stops us and says “Can we go up there?”…..they are special.
