After not a lot of sleep I was feeling pretty crappy this morning and ready to leave Phuket. And just as the rain started and it was looking very bleak the 4 American girls we had met in Ao Nang rocked up to our hostel. A really nice suprise and some more people to hang out with on New Years Eve. I then skyped my Mum and Dad which was great and brought the mood up even further so maybe today might be a good day. The plan is still to leave early and make my way...

Today we are off to Phuket and I feel like it is about time to get going again as we have seen and done most of the things Ao Nang had to offer. Unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse this morning and we had thunder and a crazy downfall of rain - so getting to town and dropping our hire bike off became quite the mission. Our bus to Phuket was to leave at 10am and it is now 12pm and we are still waiting - arghhhh gotta love Thai time. We arrived at ...

Another early start and another unusual breakfast. Today I found an old lady selling pancakes stuffed with coconut, coconut cream and sweet corn and toffee and burned rice - wow!

Later in the afternoon we headed to Krabi to checkout the Night Markets and drop one of the rental bikes back. On the way...

The islands were absolutely breathtaking with caves, stalligmites, little oasis - absolutely everything to delight the eyes. Our driver was not very friendly and made the whole day quite rushed and unpleasant - we had paid to be taken ...

Today we got up early and headed for Tiger Temple - unfortunately google maps failed us and sent us somewhere off into the wild! After the failed attempt we made our way and I found this little old lady selling breakfast bits on the side of the road. I tried a pancake with guava fruit, sweet rice with shredded coconut, sweet rice with egg marang and BBQ sweet rice - each costing about 10 cents - my day has just been made :) In the afternoon we decided to attempt...
