Koh Phi Phi

Some places in the world seem too beautiful to be true and arriving at Koh Phi Phi, you realise that it is definitely in that category. I'd done my OW diving course there in 2006 and we had plans to come back and do more diving. Betta decided to do her advanced course, so we checked in with Viking Divers (still as professional, thorough and friendly as I remembered). The diving sadly wasn't that great. Betta got Seasick as the seas were rough and not pleasant to get in and especially out of the water back onto the boat. We were't blssed with the best vizibility either but we did a wreck and night dive so that was good to keep pushing the boundaries. I am very proud to report that Betta is now an advanced adventurer!



Apart from the diving we've been enjoying the good food and all the facilities you could need as a backpacker. My only concern is that it's a bit too chavy in high season. We kept getting offered fliers for wet t-shirt contests and booze cruises. I like to think we both look quite youthful for our ages but we surely don't look that young!

Chav's aside, it's a magical place and we could have easily spent longer there.





We go to Palau Langkawi in Malaysia tomorrow (country number 18) for a week before heading south to Singapore and our flight to Tokyo on the 20th.

Other news: We've changed our plan to fly from Seoul to China now (saving time and money over a Ferry amazingly) so we have 3 more flights to go. We are also coming back a few days earlier than planned too so have moved a couple of flights forward. I'll post the flight itiniary for you uber fans soon.

Oh, and we're home 5 weeks today!
