. It was off to Koh Phi Phi to meet Kevin - another friend we made in China, and his girlfriend Kristen. The island was much busier this time compared to September where we stayed at the same little beach, this time in the exact same hut Martin had had four years ago! It didn't look very different apparently, but the inside was much more pleasant and cosy.
We had a relaxing three days on Phi Phi although the snorkel trip to Maya Bay -the famous beach from the film "The Beach" -was not the greatest on the planet. There had been millions of trips on offer and the four of us deliberated long and hard, and eventually decided on THE boat. Next morning, the sight that beheld us as it chugged and spluttered up to the dock was certainly not the pristine boat depicted in the photos!! Infact, it was quite dubious whether this vessel was even sea-worthy!!! Hmm! Anyway, it appreared to be, and we made it around the islands. Snorkelling amongst the many loud speed boats and resulting choppy water was not fun. On the other hand, in the double kayak, we covered good ground (or rather, ...water) quickly and it was a great way to get around the bays. After the hard work of being in the water we were starving, and as on previous tours, we eagerly awaited the usual yummy delicious whatever-thai curry for lunch... Alas, it was not to be... we were issued with soggy sandwiches and Kristen had the worst one - her veggie baguette amounting to 3 teeny slices of tomato with a handful of raw onions!! With that, we were all agreed: it was going to be Pizza as soon as we got back on land! Thankfully, Cosmic Pizza did not let us down - the blue cheese on them was FANTASTIC! (...have we told you we miss cheese?) * Mush
