I was still very tired from the previous night when I got up at 06.30 but nether the less I was waiting diligently outside the tour shop at 07.00.At 07.20 a minibus pulled up to take me to the marina. We joined about 100 other people getting on the same ferry to take us to Koh Phi Phi, somehow I managed to land myself with a whole 4 chairs to myself so I laid down and tried to sleep, after failing I decided to watch Mr Bean as it was showing on a big tv. When we arrived it was every (wo)man for themself, I was especially put out as my bag was at the bottom of a pile of luggage which consisted of every other passenger's bags too. Koh Phi Phi itself is a pretty big island although there are no cars which is nice and the streets are all relatively narrow with the shops spilling out onto them. Once again I didn't find the place I wanted to stay but found another dorm room to stay in. I m sharing with 15 other people and they seem a pretty sound bunch. I booked yet more diving for tomorrow although I'm not sure my bank balance enjoys it as much as I do. I headed to one of the islands many beaches which was a nice way to chill and while away some time. After a couple of hours I noticed black clouds so I decided to call it a day, not a minute too soon as it did indeed start raining just after I had left, so I sheltered in a cafe for it to ease up. Once back at the hostel I got travelling to some of the other travellers. I went for a drink with two of them Dan and Katie, friends from St Albans. Dan is an actor and was an extra in the last couple of Harry Potter movies and currently works at the studio tour so it was really interesting talking to him. They are both currently doing their advanced open water diving training so we spent ages talking about diving too. Once they had left for their night dive I grab some food then returned to the room where I met some more of the room and we spent the next 5 hours chatting along with everyone else in the dorm, a really nice way to spend the evening.
