We went for breakfast at a little bakery all together then headed back to the hostel to arrange a day trip around Koh Phi Phi. It was a gorgeous day! We were meeting our guide Stuart at 2 pm, who just happened to be drop dead gorgeous. A proper surfer dude, a bit on the short side but you had to just appreciate his beauty. We got on a long boat with a group of about 12. We set sail and the first stop was 'Monkey beach'. Basically just a small little beach where a...

We arrived on Koh Phi Phi with the sun beeming down. It was manic the second we stepped off the boat, people everywhere, but still a great atmosphere. We had nowhere to stay so went in hunt for a place on the beach called Stoned. We trekked with all our backpacks, sweating like you wouldn't believe all across the beach full of sunbathing people. I felt most people had that kind of 'so glad that's not me' look, it wasn't ideal. We finally reached the hostel only t...

I woke up feeling very unwell again. It was raining and I just really didn't fancy going out.

We found a little Italian with an actual legitimate Italian chef, so that was ...

We woke up to boiling hot sunshine! The hotel we were staying at had a pool so after breakfast we headed straight there. There was all of three sun beds between the 5 of us but we made it work. We had an underwater competition and I won! I was very chuffed with myself! In all fairness, my dad has been 'training' me to hold my breath underwater for as long as possible since the age of about 4 when I could barely swim during our holidays away. That definitely came ...

We were heading to Koh Lanta today! We were gutted to leave Koh Lipe as it is just the most gorgeous tranquil island but there wasn't much left to do there. The boat journey was 6 hours long. We watched the Kardashians and had a nap. I actually quite enjoy the long journeys because it gives me time to really think and reflect on the whole trip and myself as a person. I feel at 25 I pretty much know who I am and I haven't come away for three months to 'find myself...
