I was going to update the blog with some photos, but i think that will have to wait. The electricity is a bit strange on this island, I dont want to plug the camera into this computer. I'm getting electric shocks when i plug the adapter cord into the usb slot. Strong, live electricity - right out of the computer? OK....
Anyway, we traveled from ko lanta to ko phi phi, spent 5 nights there, including 3 in one room that was unbelieveable; an elevated cabin with sliding doors onto a balcony overtop the ocean. Somehow in our price range, yet very much above the bamboo hut standard. PP serves an important role in thailand tourism, keeping the drunken hordes contained in one spot. We stayed on a quiet beach with some of PP's best snorkling right in front of our room.
We're now on ko yao noi, where the pace is much more laid back and the scenery is the finest we've seen. Limestone rock towers all around. Not many tourists here. The island is small with a ring road that is ideal for riding on a scooter to different beaches and restaurants.
This is one of the very few places in thailand to rent expedition quality kayaks, so in a few days we're going to head out on a 4-5 night camping trip around the stunning limestone islands.
Hallo! When I created a link to this blog, I actually only linked to the page of the first post, so every time I checked it I thought only the first entry had been posted. I'm delighted to find that I was being a tool.
ReplyDeleteGreat adventures! I suppose you must be immensely enjoying the sunshine and island life right now. We got a foot of wet snow overnight... and I'm on Vancouver Island!! AB is much whiter. That is exciting about a kayak camping trip. I have very fond memories of Phi Phi. I hope you get underwater and play with the fishies too. I'm picturing C underwater in a bikini with a little bump =D Can't wait to see pictures when you get some stable electricity.
Yay for Christy's exam results!! (That means our class is 9:5 for passes with one still unknown.) Why did MacEwan send you the results...moving? Well, joy anyway. This is going to be an incredibly busy in a good way year for you two!
Enjoy the islands!! Love from Michelle and Radley. And Tavis, of course, who says hello from Iraq. If Chris wants to see pics of Boo, tell her to look for a blog invite email from "Mumsy"
(This letter is in turns written to Evan, then both, then Chris, then Ev. Hahahaha. XOXOX to you both!)
