THE PERFECT STORM....................................










the boat trip TO phi phi island was idealic.

the sun was shining.

we bathed in its warm glow.

a group of dolphins came and started swimming around the boat and jumping out of the water showing off to us.

it was like out of a movie. i swear you could not have made a better scene if you were monet.

then, there was my trip OUT of phi phi by myself.

first- they couldn't take the ferry after we had all loaded onto it because it was too windy.
second- the boat they put us on was already full of passengers so it was now obvoiusly overloaded.

third- the sea was so rough.

oh. my. god.

i will NEVER complain about the ferry trip to manly from circular quay EVER again.

it wasn't just me that was terrified- there were woman crying. the sea was lapping up onto the boat were i was sitting.

if i wasnt holding onto the railing i could have easily been swept off i reckon.

i even started looking to see which island was closer in case i did need to swim.

but alas, i survived.

when i got to bangkok airport the airline shops were all shut- so i probably would have been better off just catching the night bus from phuket to bangkok instead of flying and saved money on accomadation because i could have slept on the bus.

once again, i live and learn!

i am staying at Kao Sarn Road. i took a picture of my room and i will upload it in the morning. it has a fan but it feels like it about to fall off so i am too scared to use it! the room only cost 130B (about $3) so i shouldnt really complain! i mean , what do you expect!
:-)

will try and see how cheap a flight i can get to china first thing in the morning.

love
