Phi Phi party

So I made it back to Thailand safely and met up with Manon and Nadja, who waited 6 hours for me at the pier. Lovely to have a welcoming committee to meet me!

We took the ferry straight to Koh Phi Phi, where we have been ever since. Moving on just seems like a hassle now, and we are all sick of packing and unpacking, so 7 nights in 1 place has been lovely!

Phi Phi has changed a little since I last came, but it is still as beautiful as ever, and the party is perhaps even more lively than before. Every night there are huge parties on the beach, with fire shows, ladyboy shows and live music. Plenty to keep us entertained for our evenings! Needless to say we have had a few sore heads since we arrived, and we have needed plenty of recovering time on the beach.

I have been doing my rescue diver course for the last 5 days, it has been hard work pulling people out of the water and practising rescue breathing whilst towing the victims back to the boat and taking off their equipment. It has been a really good course, and has definitely made me a better and safer diver. The last dive we did was probably the best I have ever done as we saw leopard sharks, black tip sharks, snakes, eels, sting rays, turtles, box fish, scorpion fish, stone fish, puffer fish and not to mention all the lovely corals and reef fish....it really was something special. The diver instructors say it was one of their favourites too as they rarely see everything all in 1 dive. I was very happy!

It has been nice being back with the girls again (the other boys have all ended their travels now), but it is not long until we all go our seperate ways. Nadja goes onto Oz, and Manon is going home to Holland. When they leave I will fly to Vietnam (Ho chi minh city) and meet up with Kevin (a Vietnamese man Sally and I met in Phili). From there I will travel up the coast and see what adventures awaits me!

I hope everything is good at home, I saw on the news the weather has improved (though I am sure you are all jealous to know it was 33 degrees today and everyday for the last 10!).
Lots of love
