What a beautiful island! We got here on Monday and met up with Amie and Jamie. The island is long but very skinny so there are no roads, no cars or bikes, everyone gets around either by walking or long-boats. We have to get the boat to longbeach where we are staying in a tiny shack but is cheapest we could find. First day we did some snorkelling and dinner with the girls. Second day Em, Jamie and I got a boat out to Bamboo island (about 40minutes away) this was a beautiful island, whitest sand and bluest water I have ever seen. The boatman then took us to an awesome snorkelling spot near the island, we jumped off the boat into so much coral and hundreds of fish, I kept getting stuck in whole schools of fish, the brightest colours, I loved it (except these little yellow and black ones kept biting me)! That was our party night which was fun too.
Third day was really hot, we said bye to the girls and then just moved between sand and water (and restaurant) all day on Long beach. Today Em and I got a long boat out to Phi Phi Lay island, again absolutely beautiful, in the middle is Maya bay which is where they filmed the movie 'The Beach', it was just as pretty as the movie but had so so many tourists there. There is a fee to go to The Beach so our boatman stopped boat on the other side and we swam to a cave and walked through jungle to enter for free- alot better- but no pics, we did a bit more snorkelling then back to our beach, its got cloudy now so we have come into town for the evening.
Tomorrow we plan to so some more beaching before get overnight ferry-bus to Bangkok where we will stay for 3 days before we fly back. I will put up the pics then, the photos show just how pretty it is! Hope everyone getting in the Christmas spirit!! xoxo
