Koh Phi Phi Island

DAY 59

    Up at 7am slowly and still hurting from the night before. We got our bus to the boat and headed to Phi Phi.



     They had free coffee on the boat so I drank like 5 cups to wake up and talked with some Thai girl who worked on the boat for a bit. I went to the top deck and watched the horizon as islands passed the boat and the clear blue water splashed in our wake. I got tired and slept for an hour even after drinking the coffee and awoke just as we pulled up to the pier in Phi Phi. Our friend Debbie who had been on Phi Phi for a few days now had booked a room for us at the Twin Palm Bungalows on the beach so we got directions and walked over. Eva had stayed an extra night and we woke her up when we arrived not knowing she would be there and chatted a bit.
    Debbie, Kirk and I went to the water and just sat on the beach all day enjoying the sun and each others company as we had not seen them for almost 2 weeks. There are so many beautiful women and well beautiful people on this island its just amazing. Its like there is a requirement to be very attractive to step foot on the island, HUGE change from Phuket. There are a majority of Swedish and Australian people here and you can hear it in the accents and conversations all around.



     We went to dinner at a Pad Thai spot that was excellent and had pieces of paper all over the walls of this little restaurant from travelers saying this was the best pad thai in the world. We got back to our bungalow made some buckets and hung out before we went out. Debbie had it down to where you got fliers and she knew exactly where they gave free buckets at certain times of the night and pretty much went from bar to bar every hour getting free buckets and not paying for a thing. At all of the beach bars they have fire juggling and fire jump rope as well as other games that were pretty fun. It was a pretty insane night and we danced like mad. This party scene is awesome and goes all night long. I was totally exhausted from the travels as well as not sleeping much the night before but it was Eva's last night so after dancing we just sat on the beach and watched shooting stars go by having a great conversation until it was almost light out, I really had a great connection with Eva and am very happy to have made a life long friend.
