Just updating the journal quickly as we had such a fun filled day! and we had to tell you all about it. Last night was fun too as we ended up going out for a few drinks, we went to this Irish bar and met a group of Aussies, everyone here is either from Melbourne, or they are Swedish! anyway we ended up going to a party on the beach which was kind of like a semi full moon party, crazy people just dancing and people passed out on the beach. We didnt stay too long as we were both tired and we got back to our hostel and we staggered into the room and it was so weird, almost like we were hallucinating as Em went into the bathroom and it was completely flooded, and I mean there was water everywhere!!!! There was a sighn on the back of our door telling us that a pipe had burst outside and that the rooms were likely to flood! Cheers for telling us guys. We found it hillarious though as we were a little tipsy and couldnt stop laughing. Everything including the bin was just floating about. But then we woke up this morning and realised that it was actually pretty bad and the water had come into our room and it STUNK!!!!! It was like sewage, so we checked out, managed to get half a nights stay back from the manager ( we couldnt quite work out if he was actually a he, but then we think he was a she later on in the evening, if you get me!!!! very scary) And we're staying in a place up the road, AC Henderson Guesthouse with the couple, Rob and Emily weve met, as their room flooded too. This room is loads nicer and even has a TV! Im in my element! Hopefully it wont flood though.
WE have ben on a boat trip today, although nI wasnt sure if I was going to make it this afternoon as I have had a bit of a poorly tummy ;-( I think everyone gets it over in Thaialnd and its not nice! Esp when the toilets are so grose!!! But anyay I took some tablets and felt much better and we went on a sunset trip this afternoon. It was fab. We went to Monkey Island, where there literally is just loads of monkeys wandering about on the beach! Its such a random island. They were cute monkeys but pretty agressive if you got too close! We then went to lots of other little bays and Em and I were loving the Kayaking! We are experts at it! Although my little arms wont be feeling too great in the morning. We were brill at it though and went for miles!!! Then we went to Maya Beach, which is where the film, the Beach was filmed. We had to swiim from the boat to one island and then walk through these caves to get to Maya Beach. I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO scared though as I am not a big fan of swimming in the sea and we had to go quite far! It was really dark underneath us and I was totally freaking out. I swear I was having a panic attack in the middle of the sea, screaming and everything! But we eventually made it to shore, after Em cut her leg and it was bleeding loads, and I stood on 2 crabs! What an adventure. The guys on the boat thought it was so funny and were completely taking the mick out of us! I guess they are used to it. Maya Beach is nice, its weid though as nobody lives there and apparently if you are caught staying ther, camping etc, then you get shot??!!!!Nice!!! Its gorgeous though, although it doesnt look quite as nice as it did on the film, but still, it was really pretty. We stayed there for an hour, and the locals organised a footy match for eveyone, we didnt play though, what a suprise! The funniest part of the day though was getting back on the boat!!! You have never seen anything like it. We had to walk, and then swim out to the boat as the water was so shallow, the boats couldnt pick us up. So Em and I decided we didnt need a kayak and swam out! I gave up half way and some random Aussie girl picked me up in her kayak and I got a lift back to the boat! Leaving Em to just bobble up and down in the sea. I was really worried about her as I knew it was quite far to swim and everyone else was on the boat already so as soon as I got back to the boat, I made the guy from the boat go back in his kayak and rescue my big sister! It was soooo funny, I could see her in the distance, waving her arms about, hehe. So she was finally picked up by the kayak and we both made it safely back to the boat! Good times! I then found out that I had some nasty bites on my shoulders and back and it turns out I was bitten by sea lice!!!! Euuuuuw, grose, they are really yucky and itchy! We then went out to another bay and watched the sunset which was so pretty. It really was beautiful.
So we had a right old adventure day, it was great. We are off to collect my laundry now, as I had lots of clothes to wash, its only 30p to have your washing done and ironed! Bargain. Then we are going out tonight, but nothing too heavy as we want to get up tomorrow and get the boat to Long Beach, apparantly its the best 5* beach on Phi Phi. Its boiling hot here, far hotter than the other side! I booked my flight today from Phuket back to Koh Samui, for Saturday, then Im going to get the boat back to Koh Toa and stay there for a while, when Im all on my own ;-( Im going to try and stay at Bans, the diving resort as there were loads of backpackers there. I was thinking of maybe going over to Cambodia but lots of people have not recommneded it as I havent taken my malaria tablets and its not worh the risk, so we'll see about that.
Hope everything is good over in the UK. Keep your messages going we are loving them! Love and hugs to you all always, Loo and Em xxxxxxxxx
