Well this one is starting out a bit different. The past few days have been interesting - I think the travel gods heard we were having too much fun and decided to step in and do something about it.
So, recent lows include: Getting food poisoning and some other illness (my self diagnosis: strep throat) and ending up in the hospital on an IV all day and out of commission for about 3. Attempting to communicate my self diagnosis to the non-English speaking nurse with no success. Getting the shit burned out of my leg while jumping rump (the rope was on fire - some would say this is my fault). Realizing I got a sunburn on top of the burn. Then getting heat rash on top of that. Anna getting some weird form of lock jaw. And finally, getting my iPhone and wallet stolen on the beach.
Other than that, Ko Phi Phi is still beautiful. Tainted, but beautiful.
Back to the fun stuff - our private longboat tour of Maya Bay (before all that drama) was probably one of the highlights of the trip so far. They have a tour that takes about 50 people and shuffles them quickly through the sites on the island tour but we figured that sounded like a waste of money so opted to pay a bit more for our own boat and headed out at 8am to see the beaches and do some snorkeling. It was awe inspiring. Check out some of my favorite pics below!
Our own longboat
We loved being the only ones out that early
We had a crazy journey to try and get to Maya Bay - I don't have a photo but we had to swim through all these rocks and up a crazy ladder to get to this trail. Super dangerous and fun.
Me and Anna on the viewpoint of where we had to climb up - our boat is somewhere down there
Maya Bay! We watched the Beach later and realized they digitally closed some of the rocks. Really beautiful though.
Wild monkeys love sour cream and onion lays... Who knew
Can't get over the natural beauty
All for now!
