Pee pee island hehehe

HELOO!!!!!!! (whoops I mean- HELLOOO!!!)

Arghh1 so tired- flat out after Sunday.

Here’s the thoughts:

8:01 am Phuket time

Even though it’s spelt Phi Phi- it’s pronounced pee pee. You know like urine. (go on. Giggle I dare you.)

8:19 am Phuket time

The advantages of being short that I’ve found so far-

1-      I can sit in the front of the cab without the shaded bit of the window blocking my view.

2-      I can fit into all the Thai clothes (except for jeans- they’re too long)

That’s kinda all I can think of right now but I will continue to add snippets to this epic list. There are so many good things about being on the smaller side of perfect- I just haven’t found them all yet!!

9:45 am Phuket time

Ahhh... waiting. I wonder how long the driver will be? We’re sitting in the taxi outside a hotel waiting for some more people to join the trip.

10:30 am Phuket time

WOW! This is better than a roller coaster this boat ride! It’s free (ish) and it lasts for over an hour! My stomach keeps dropping and bouncing around as we hurtle over waves on our way to Phi Phi. It’s amazing! Dad is super pale though

11:08 am Phuket time

Lagoon, lagoon, oh you make me swoon… (it rhymes doesn’t it?) . anyway! This place is magic! The boats all come in through a small gap in the cliffs that surround the lagoon and then into the clear turquoise water. the hills (are alive, with the sound of music) look like they are covered in soft, green fur. I got to jump off the boat- YAY!

11:21 am Phuket time

Ok! Bumpy boat again (don’t’ you think I could make a song out of that? Bumpy boat, bumpy boat, oh bumpy, bumpy, bumpy, bumpy boat. Ba dum dum dum…)

12:37 pm Phuket time

LUNCH! Green curry chicken, tom yam goong soup with seafood, crispy pork and onion and stir fried veges. Mmmmmm…. And served up with the best view on earth- moody islands partially concealed by sea mist, rising abruptly out of the never-ending blue ocean that is only fractionally darker than the clear sky above. Coupled with an infinite beach with white, glowing sand.. the only questions are- when can I move here? What bikinis to bring? And whether to drink coconut milk or baileys every day?!!!

1:22 pm Phuket time

Snorkeling was a little bit disappointing as the corals looked dead and the fish bland but the water was lovely- even dad got in!

2:03 pm Phuket time

Bumpy boat, bumpy boat, oh… yep that’s getting annoying fast

3:00 pm Phuket time

Last stop on a deserted beach, devoid of development save the wooden and straw bar! Dad was ecstatic!

4:18 pm Phuket time

Bumpy b…. oh shut up Ariel.

7:09 pm Phuket time

Home! After a car journey back to hotel and now out to din dins

8:02 pm Phuket time

Something I forgot to mention- another advantage of being short is the windscreen on the speedboat is the right height to black any overly enthusiastic waves. Something that affected my parents profoundly (in other terms- they got attacked by water!)

9:40 pm Phuket time

Dinner was ok- not memorable. Bbq whole snapper, green curry omelet and stir fried morning glory. Mum and dad had a bit of a tizz after and the room was awfully silent going to sleep.

10:01 pm Phuket time

Also forgot to mention- one of the guides was VERY friendly towards me (even mum and DAD commented). I made the mistake of smiling at him once and then he followed me around and pulled me very close when I shook his hand at the end!! *ARGGHHH*

So that’s all I did on Sunday- lots of fun!!

Miss you guys xxx
