Still on Phi Phi

We're still on Phi Phi, enjoying the sun and diving. Phil and I have both enjoyed the sun a little too much and are now a bit on the pink side, but tons of aloe are helping with that.

Phil and Maya finished their Open Water Diver course, so the four of us went on a couple of dives yesterday. The dives were spectacular, we saw all sorts of marine life -- a leopard shark, turtles, sea snake, eels, lobster, giant shrimp, sea slugs, giant clam. The diving was all around a small just of Phi Phi called Koh Phi Phi Lay. We had lunch on a small beach there in Loh Samah Bay. The islands around here are stunning massive cliffs rise straight up out of the water, giving way occasionally to small white sand beaches.

The only downside is the cost. Both the diving and accomodations are a bit pricey here. So Meg and I are considering heading to the east to Koh Samui and Koh Tao -- her old stomping grounds -- where things are a bit cheaper.

Phil and Maya head to Bangkok early tomorrow to begin their journey home. I think we're going to try snorkeling with the blacktip reef sharks before they leave tommorrow morning. I'll let you know how it goes.

Enjoy.

BTW, I went back and added pictures to some of the Laos posts. Check them out, if you want.
