The last day in Kho Phi Phi we made our way up to two view points where you could see both sides of the middle of the island; worth the sweat to the top. We rented a long boat and toured a couple of islands including where The Beach was filmed and Monkey Island. The monkeys know that when a boat comes in it means food and they are not shy about getting it from you; as you can see one little guy went so far as to climb my leg. He was so light, it was so cute!! S...

Bangkok was quite the experience and three days was enough for me even though I don't feel like I saw enough. From Bangkok we took a flight to Krabi then a ferry to Khao Phi Phi. The island isn't very big; you can walk from the beach on one side to the other in 10 or 15 minutes. It is rainy season so it's been raining off and on but it's not cold.

Actually touring London turned out to be a whirlwind adventure!!

So on a mad dash and not getting to see the Stonehenge I met Eleanore bright and early. Fortunately we wanted to see all the same places and had the same amount of time to do it  It was so nice to meet up wi...

Walked around a bit today. Got my adapter, London Pass and wondered aimlessly. The parade for the Paralympics was on and the town was busy. Walking by the London Eye and weird Olympic mascot statue something pegged my shoulder. At first I thought a raindrop, but no, it was little green reinforcement about my feelings on birds. Lol. f***ing birds.
