I've reached the end of my weeks holiday from travelling, which I spent hanging around the Andaman coast in Thailand. I had a few days in Krabi, and then on to Ko Lanta. Ko Lanta was too sleepy for me, and even though my intention was to just chill out for a few days, after a few hours of hammock time whilst sheltering from the rain in the porch of my own personal £5 beach hut (complete with ants as standard), I was bored and decided was time to leave for Ko Phi Phi asap.
Ko Phi Phi is certainly livelier and had more to keep me occupied. One of the main things I did with my time was a snorkling trip, which wasn't without it's mishaps. Getting a good distance away from land on the way to bamboo island, our propella fell off, leaving us little else to do but float about and wait for a passing boat to tow us. Continuing this arrangement for some time, a new boat eventually caught up with us at another bay. The moment the switch was made, the boat that had previously been doing all the towing, instantly suffered the same propella fate as us, and the tow tables turned as we tied our boats together once more, this time in reverse.
Anyway that's my free time over with, back to the job of travelling for my final few weeks. I had hoped for a bit of time in Phuket, but being notoriously bad with dates where trips are concerned, my calendar confusion struck again. Convinced my flight from Kuala Lumpa to Borneo was Saturday, I'm lucky my parents are on the ball enough to send me a panicked email and inform me it was actually Friday (this is exactly why I give out copies of my itinary, I can't be trusted). It's slightly annoying as I'd resultantly booked other flights and accomodation incorrectly, but with everything put right now (at cost), I'm back on track.
