Well, being a beach bum now (officially speaking) the only way I know the date is because the computer told me so. We are still in Thailand and still wearing my swimming suit for the 20th straight day! I know but someone has to do it.
We are currently on Phi Phi Island (pronounced Pee Pee). Insert joke here!!! All is good. The town itself is filled with too many tourist spending too much money. We found a cool little hotel on its own little beach with great snorkeling from the shore. We have been here for a while now (more than a week, I think) and have been having a good time.
Yesterday we went SCUBAing again. We went in the afternoon which was nice as beach bums don't really like getting up early. So we went out on a private charter (noone else had signed up for the afternoon trip, lucky us) . I was great. Our own personal dive master to show us around. Some of the highights were swimming through a 2 meter wide canyon with sea fan and fish abounding on the sides, a weird fish (African pompano) which the dive master didn't know what it was, the tiny ghost pipefish, lobster, lionfish, scorpionfish, pufferfish and a very playful hawksbill turtle that played around us for several minutes. It was two great dives! I think we are heading out again tomorrow.
Dving, snorkeling, reading on the beach and eating thai food takes up most of our time nowadays....that and counting the days until we get home!
