Picked up at 08:45 and taken to the dock where we were met by our guide for the day, Chim. He told us that there were only two other people on our tour! We had to wait as a rain storm passed before boarding the speed boat and heading off, in company with a youngThai couple. The weather had been quite windy and the sea had a short swell which meant that the boat trip was quite bumpy but after about 30 mins we arrived at an island nicknamed Paradise, just as the su...

Breakfast at the hotel and then picked up around 8:45 and driven to the dock where we took a long tailed boat out to our dive boat. It took approximately 2 hours to get to Phi Phi Lay and on the way we were given some instruction by our English dive master and then kitted up and commenced our first dive. I must admit I was more than a bit nervous (Sue had been diving previously in Fiji with Lisa). We went straight at it and I really didn't feel comfortable for so...

Up this morning at sparrow fart! You need to understand the sparrows are very late risers here. Down to breakfast by 09:15 for omelette and bacon and toast etc etc. Then off to organise some tours. Left the hotel and just outside there happened to be a tuk tuk waiting: so we tuk it!

We had bought a bottle of Bailey's in Melbourne duty free and Sue had left it in her carry-on! Unfortunately, it was not allowed to be taken on board and it would have cost us 500 THB t...

Got up and headed off to the same place as yesterday for breakfast. On the way dad did some shopping again! I ordered a different breakfast off mushroom on bruscetta and it came with scrambled egg that had pesto drizzled over it. Didn't enjoy it at all and they didn't have any juice either for some reason! Not happy Jan! Anyway after that we wended our way back via Lucky Plaza and some other places and went to the lobby bar and had a beer or two. Dad then decide...
