Phi Phi Island

The View from our room
Arrived at Krabi airport two days ago and took the ferry to Phi Phi island. Unfortunately for us we are staying reasonably close to where all the partying happens so the paradise is kinda ruined by the duff duff at night. But there is no denying its a pretty nice spot.

We took a snorkeling trip yesterday which was a pretty long day. The only way to see the island is by boat... i just wish we had a faster one as most of the day was spent chugging to the various beach destinations.

The last beach stop was at the place where "The Beach" was filmed. A pretty idyllic spot, but overrun with tourists. It was fairly interesting getting to this beach as you had to swim from the boat and then navigate some rocks and a rope course to get to the stairs that take you to the path that leads there... I scratched my knee :(

We headed back to the boat a bit earlier than everyone else which was a blessing as there was a major traffic jam when everyone tried to come back. So we got to sit on the boat and watch the carnage unfold.

Tomorrow we take the ferry back to Krabi for the final leg of our trip before we fly to KL for a stopover and then the mammoth flight home (im not looking forward to it).
