In Phi Phi with Pictures!

ALRIGHT! success with some pictures!!! Unfortunatly we are currently on a very expensive island (Koh Phi Phi) so I cannot upload too many pics as they each take about 20mins to load and I dont have enough money for all this internet time but I'll do what I can...


This is our diving group in Koh Tao on the roof deck of our boat, coming back from our last dive of the course. It was so nice to warm up, get some sun and enjoy the view after spending 40mins deep in the water! I always got soooo cold down there!


In case any of you are still skeptical about our love for the island, this was our home there. It doesnt get much better than that! Especially when its only costing you 5$ a night!

This picture below is pretty much what you see from any point in Koh Tao. Its just so beautiful it almost seems fake! It reminded me of Typhoon Lagoon in Disney World except it was all for real.



This picture was taken from the strip of beaches where there are all the resteraunts and bars are located. Luckily Koh Tao is protected by lots of laws and environmental standards so it will never get developed past pretty much what is there today which is JUST enough!



So Krabi was very quiet and pretty boring although we enjoyed the very yummy and very cheap night market and took a day trip to James Bond Island and a floating village. The village is home to 200 families, has a school, a mosque and a hospital all floating in a tiny little area next to a huge cliff and surrounded by water! BUt day trips cost lots of money so we decided to move to Koh Phi Phi instead of just visiting for the day and although its super expensive for the worst accomidation to date (lets just say our non flushing toilet was an upgrade compared to what we've got now), we got to spend the day on Koh Phi Phi Ley, where the Beach was filmed. And although at one point in the day thousands of tourists clutter the tiny little beach area, we got to enjoy it without the masses once they all departed after their 40min or so stop. All I've heard about this particular place is that its ruined by the many tourists so it was nice to be there without them for a good few hours. Heres a picture of our surroundings for the day:



Okay i seriously just cut my dinner money in half! Hopefully we can get pictures on from now on, but as tomorrow we head to Koh Lanta for a few nights, I have no idea what we will be in store for us!

See you in Koh Lanta!

I decided to write something because I didn't want you to stop writing on the blog. The pictures were great and I hope you are having a great time in Singapore. You seem to be doing your own
"Amazing Race".

Looking forward to your other great adventures,

Love, Mom and Dad
