After two and a half weeks of action packed travelling it was time for a bit of relaxation on the beach! After a night stopover in Phuket we caught 1.5 hour ferry (with a cat who calls the ferry home) to Phi Phi island. No words can explain how beautiful this place is. Soft white sand, crystal clear warm water and billions of fish! Oh and the super hot sun that kicks in around breakfast time, perfect for an early dip. We stayed at an extremely nice resort called Paradise Pearl which was located on Hat Yao (long beach) the best swimming beach on the island. Our room was exactly 70 sluggish steps to the beach and the balcony provided a lovely view of the beach and distant islands. 7 nights here allowed us to really relax and get a cracker tan! I also managed to get a bug/food poisoning on thee very first night! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Think it might have been the wierd pad Thai noodles at lunch which appeared to have tomatoe sauce on it!! After a couple more disappointing meals at paradise pearl we ventured 100 metres up the beach to another swanky restaurant. Hooray we found decent food on long beach! Choosing which fish you wanted slapped on the BBQ was rather quite fun. We even lashed out one night and had a lobster/crayfish cooked for us! Not as good as yours dad but pretty damn close! The massive prawns were another highlight. Apart from swimming, sunning and relaxing we did manage to fit in a snorkelling and sight seeing trip around the islands. Fish fish fish fish fish everywhere! Check out the photos below. We dropped into 'The Beach' on Phi Phi Leh, got slightly freaked out by the monkeys on monkey beach, snorkelled around bamboo island and shark point and watched the sun go down on the way home! Brilliant! After such an exhausting stay on the island :) we had to treat ourselves to a coconut oil massage by the beach. So good! One final buffet breakfast and then it was time to say goodbye to the lizard who decided our room was home for the week and jump on the ferry back to Phuket. Thankyou Phi Phi island!
Not what we expected to find in the seat in front of us!
Mara then made new friends very quickly!

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
