Ko phi phi

I made it! I took an over night bus from Bangkok on Aug 22 to ko phi phi which is in the province of Krabi...
I arrived about noon on Aug 23 and immediately met up with Andy and his friends (Amir and Dave). All we could think of was heading to the beach and that is exactly what we did. We grabbed a beer at a beach hut and brought them into the water while we enjoyed the beautiful blue water surrounded by rock cliffs and the 36degree weather! It was great seeing a familiar face after spending time on my own in Bangkok. I had a great time shopping, touring some temples and visiting buddha on his birthday. I experienced a ride in my first tuk tuk in bangkok (motorbike taxi) which was so cool and I was able to see more of the city that way.
Now that I'm out of the city and on a beautiful island I'm enjoying life. Yesterday after enjoying the water we packed up a small wooden boat with food and beer and set off for Bamboo island. There was 6 of us altogether (Amir, Dave, Andy, Jake, Jade, Laura and I) that went and we had a great time jumping off the boat in the middle of the ocean, walking the white sandy beaches of bamboo island and fishing with only reels and line on the way home. On the way back we sat and watched the sunset while swimming around the boat. We made it back to ko phi phi island around dark and we were all ready for the night to start. We ended up at a local bar called Hippies where Amir works and he entertained playing his guitar and singing and a fire show which was absolutely amazing. Afterwards we drank $3.00 coctails and $9.00 buckets of vodka redbull and danced the night away on the beach!!! It was a great night and it even ended with an exciting down poor around 2:30am, at that point we sang in the rain until I called it a night and walked home. I enjoyed walking home in the rain and the sound it made as it hit the path...and just thinking to myself I'm in Thailand and have no worries in the world at this moment!!!
