Day on phi phi island

Woke up at 8am and had a big brunch with Thai noodles and omelettes and fresh squeeZed juices. Yummmm. Then we relaxed by the pool. Booked Andreas airfare to Hong Kong. Matt is going to fly standby. As the flight had green smiley faces on the zed fare. Then matt bought some fresh blended smoothies. Then it was noon and we needed to start getting ready for our tour. It's a cloudy day with a lot of overcast. Which is probably better so we don't fry. Found the location and waited for the group. Boarded a rickety long tail boat with 20 people. Waves were a little big. Took a long time to get to monkey beach. While other boats easily made it to the beach we watches the monkeys being fed. By the time we got there they were disappeared. What a joke. Then we went to cliff jump. We didn't pay to do the cliff jump and there were two boats ahead of us so we went to snorkel. Saw aome pretty fish. But again. There were maybe 2 life jackets on the boat. So it was up to yourself to stay afloat. Then we headed to maya beach. Ran Into the blokes from the ferry. The beach was gorgeous and from the film the beach with Leonardo dicaprio. After an hour we went across the open sea, skipped the sunset point which the skies cleared up just in time to see something pretty, but we went to the cliff jump spot instead with the sun setting out of view. Disappointed. Then we circled the long tails for some glow plankton. Also a let down. I'm used to fajardo and millions upon millions of phosphorescent dinoflagellates. This place had a couple maybe everytime you shredded water. Triple disappointment. Then we headed into the home island. Alive. Didn't mention as we were crossing the choppy open sea, waves upon waves would rush into our boat. We held up our situpon and try and block the cold water. No luck. Walked back to our villa showered and headed back to the pad Thai restaurant from the night before. The dude didn't understand us when we ordered. Split our order and did regular pad Thai instead of super pad Thai. Disappointment. Story of the day. But atleast it is 80 and warm here instead of 20 and snowy :-) made it back to our villa and called it a night. Tomorrow we ferry to Phuket, for a night in old town. We've been told it's not much. Then onto Hong Kong. Then home. Hopefully. May the non-rev gods be ever in our favor!
