Krabi~
And so we went to Krabi some time during the holidays for a well deserved break. The weather there was great. Only showers usually during evening. We had a wonderful time there... Basically spent 2 days at Ao Nang, 2 days at Phi Phi Island, 1 day at Krabi Town (which, we think shd be omited cuz there is nothing there~! Shd've stayed at Ao Nang longer).
Long tail boats...! Quite a common means of transportation in Krabi. Bargain with the owner, then hop on and he'll bring you to most destinations nearby...
On the 1st day we went on a canoeing trip. Equipment and lunch all within the package. Lunch was great man, but the expedition was better! The trip consisted only of 3 canoes (2 of us on one, an American uncle, and the guide of course). We saw caves, more caves, and a lagoon. Super nice~! Sigh... Missing that place already.
Also spent quite some time sun-tanning on the beach. Hotel provided beach mats and towels. Awesome. Just lie down there, enjoy the breeze... then... fall asleep... SHIOKZ!!! After that we went for dinner and shopping in Ao Nang (check out Chet's new dress that we bought there).
The next day (Day 3) was transfer by ferry to Phi Phi Island. Quite a crowded ferry no place to sit inside, so we just stood on the open deck and enjoyed the breeze and surrounding scenary.
After arriving at Phi Phi we checked in and immediately went on our 1st snorkelling trip :) The waters were super darn clear. Never see corals in the open waters before. Also had to figure out how to use the snorkelling equipment... :P
This here's our private Long Tail boat that we hired just to take us to destinations for snorkelling (on Day 4 as well, we managed to find the same operator to take us).
