Well the of us are in Southern Thailand again. I feel very at home here in Krabi - Taz and I are already buzzing about being back in the climbing capital and we're making plans for our next visit, hopefully next year. It'd be great to bring all our climbing friends over for a couple of weeks, and Harry :-)
We left Ko Phangan yesterday morning on a ferry at 11am which took 2 and a half hours. before we left Taz got a tattoo and then Sarah got one! I almost feel left out, ha ha. We got a bus and then a minibus to Krabi town when we were back on dry land, and a sawanthaw type vehicle thing into Ao Nang. We found the Ao Nang Grand Inn for 400 baht a night (8 pound) and went out for a fish and chips tea. You can tell there's lots of tourists in Krabi with the food selection out there! We got a cocktail in a little raving bar but the view wasn't brilliant, little Thai hookers prancing around isn't really my scene!! We ended up going to bed late and shattered.
This morning we're having a McDonalds breakfast as I'm typing. It's just across from the hotel. We're getting a little long tail boat round to Railey. Over the next couple of days we're doing 2 full day tours - one to Phi Phi and one to 4 other nearby islands including chicken island where we've been before and it's still the most beautiful beach we've come across. Fun times! Sarah has 5 days left and we're going to make sure she goes home with a golden tan so there'll be lots of hanging around in the sun going on ;-) I'm very excited about Phi Phi now, we weren't going to go but the price has dropped to get there because it's low season, so we're treating ourselves. It's the island everyone says is like paradise and we wouldn't mind a bit of that!
See you all soon! Jem and Taz x
