iain goes bananas

Just a very quick update: I'm still on Phi Phi, and am enjoying every second! It's very touristy of course, but the gorgeous scenery makes up for that. Planning to get myself over to Koh Lanta on Wednesday, which is more laid back, apparently. May have to go through Krabi, in which case I might get myself out to Railey Beach.
I've uploaded some more pictures from the last couple of days. Made two dives on Saturday and two on Sunday. Great to be back blowing bubbles again ;-).

Climbed hundreds of steps in the sweltering heat yesterday to watch the sun set from the top viewpoint, high up on the island. We (Chris, an English guy i met, and me) were completely drenched and exhausted when we arrived at the top, but the view was spectacular.

As the sun was setting, all at once the cicadas started up. Really cool. Of course we stayed up there, sipping Singas, until it was completely dark and we realised we were being eaten alive by the resident mozzie squad.

Anyway, must get back to my hammock in the shade now ;-)
Hope you enjoy the pictures. Will add more comments later.
cheers,
