On Phi Phi!!!

After hours and hours of travel (two planes, two trains, a bus and a ferry) we all made it to Phi Phi island on the 23rd.

After teh Tsunami last year, most of Phi-phi seems to be okay. There are lots of shops and hotels and bars still open. But there is one area, teh part that was worst affected, that is still a wasteland. Today they put a stage here and had a memorial service. It was really well done.

Today there was an air of sadness, but the other days it's been really good. people are getting on with things, rebuilding thier lives and trying to make a living.

We've had a few lazy days at teh start, but today we started doing stuff. I went for a massage yesterday, which was so relaxing, and today i went kayaking around teh island. Very tiring, but the island is so beautiful with so many little caves. I caught the sun quite a bit so I'm quite red at teh moment :-s

Tommorrow I'm booked in to go climbing :-D and the day after we'll go to phi-phi ley to see where the movie "the Beach" was filmed.

Then on teh 29th, we leave and head to Bangkok for new years eve. This is turning out to be a great holiday!!
