Hello hello,
Lets cut to the chase. Yesterday we went on a snorkelling trip and we ended up snorkelling with reef sharks!!! argh!!!!!! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, these beasts are big and look like what you see on tv. Oh yeah and to make things scarier, they were within 10 feet of us, 1 went past, then 2, then 3, then 4. We both look at each other in the water with excitement and also fear! wow what an experience...... (promtly after this, we were swimming quite fast back to our boat for safety, but not before 2 more passed to the side of us, eyeing us up)
SO back to the beginning, we are back in Thailand and we got a boat from the mainland over to the amazing Phi Phi Islands, where the sun shines brightly and the sea is an amazing blue colour..
After spending 1 night in a dodgy hut full of bugs, some friends we had made, an austrian couple, informed of this amazing palce where we had private huts on a hillside overlooking a private beach.. well we were over there in a shot!!!
man, it is soooo nice. We hav spent the last 3 days chilling out on the beach, swimming and chatting with the other cool people at the resort. There are only about 8 other people on this resort, os we have nice peaceful beach to swim read and get red, then brown :)
Yesterday, we hired a longtail boat with the austrian couple we had met a few days earlier. We went early in the morning, to avod the crowds and we had a huge bay all to oursleves to swim in and enjoy, it was soooo amazing. After that we did some cool snorkelling with tonnes of fish and coral. THen to top it off, we climbed through a water cave and a forest to get to Maya Bay. THis is the spot where they filmed the film 'THe Beach'. It was an awesome spot, but sadly full of tonnnes of tourists and we counted 15 speedboats in a space not much bigger than a bathtub. After this crowd came our friendly trip with mr reef shark....
SO we are loving th final stages of our adventure, chilling out in the sun, drinking thai beer. buying cheap but good fake stuff and the rest.... Next stop tomorrow is Phuket back on the mainland. After that we bus over to the east coast for some more island hopping in the sun and finally a few days shopping in Bangkok before we venture back to you guys at home.
See you all soon, take care,
R & A xxxxxxxxxx
