The weather took a turn for the worse - torrential downpours with the occasional spell of less rain! But this allowed us to chill out and enjoy our hut. We caught up on researching places to visit, and of course, caught up on our backgammon (Martin is still beating me!) - enjoying all this from our deck watching the storm and the big waves roll in. Whenever we could, we would make a mad dash into town and hang out with our New Zealand friends, Sam and Caroline, and watch films and play games at the local retaurants. Unfortunately, we did have to face the inevitable drenchings from time to time since the rain refused to die down for us, but then it is rainy season after all!
Finally, the rain eased and we hiked through the jungle to get across the island to snorkel at a different beach, Rantee bay. As we crossed the island we stopped at the viewpoint overlooking the two back-to-back bays of Phi Phi. Inspite of the visible devastation caused by the tsunami, the view was still really spectacular. *Mush
