Beautiful long white empty sandy beaches…………. As the woman who sold us the boat tickets said; “On Koh Phi Phi you had (imagine hands showing inch of space) much space, on Koh Lanta you have (imagine arms stretched wide) this much space!!”
We got the boat from Phi Phi – A very long 2 and half hours of my life!! Boat was so overcrowded in the middle of the sea after about half an hour we stopped by another boat and everyone out on deck transferred over! There was a really nice french lady who thought I just had really bad sea sickness! Made it off the boat and a jeep picked us up and took us to another nice little bungalow seconds from the beach – the room we were supposed to have we couldn’t have for the night as the couple in it were ill so they’d let them stay an extra night so we landed on our feet and had a really nice big room, and the bathroom even had a bath! Gorgeous weather and could see the hot beach fro the window, first impressions soooo good. I happily clambered into bed for a bit while James went out to take some pics just incase it was the last of the sunshine!! Made it out to watch an incredible sunset, and then watched James have dinner, his first proper meal for about a day so was seriously good!! I nibbled on a couple of salt and pepper pringles with dioralite!
The next day we switched rooms and then made it out to the beach, which was amazing, beautiful weather again and we stayed to watch the sunset again but saw something much better – in the distance there was a HUGE thunderstorm so we sat watching the lightening light up the sky while sitting on the warm dry beach still…..
Next morning were up at 6.30 to get one of many minibuses in a row to take us to Penang! We arrived there at 8pm in monsoon rain…. To be continued!!
