Phi Phi Island

Well, We've had a really cruisey good few days. Not up to much..
Really getting into the daily list of where to eat drink and sleep. Any thing else and we feel like we have a busy day on our hands ( and normally get to the drinking part and forget to do it ) I really struggle to imagine what this place used to look like pre-tsunami. Patong beach looked pretty normal, allot of construction work and a few shabby streets. This place is still pretty screwed up. Yesterday I volunteered for some clean up work. Sorting all the shit the drivers pull out of the bay. And doing maintains work on a pontoon they have been using. It was good fun met a heap of nice people and got a fucker of a work out. Managed to burn two more parts of my body.. i now have sunburnt calves, and elbows. I lost a layer of skin on my shoulders a few days ago but am trying to keep up with a layer of sunscreen every few minutes. I've stuck few photos onto Flickr but internet is a bit pricey here so haven't put all of them there yet.... ( some day after I've find a good place to eat drink and sleep I'll get around to it ) the beaches are nice here the water is beautiful. We made friends with to other travelers one is Val, from San Francisco a funny 1/2 Chinese 1/2 American who's been traveling by her self for about 5 months, She's a prescription queen and been telling us about all the great opiates of Laos. The other is Deb who's Welsh and also been traveling by her self for a fair while, i think they both met in Malaysia. There is a party for the people who have volunteered on the island on Sunday so we'll go to that and then think about heading to a different island. Tomorrow we actually manage to get off the main phi phi island and do a boat tour of the little island and do some cliff jumping......
One of the main bars on the island is "Hippies Bar" its not overly cheap but its very popular, they had the BEEEEST fire show I've ever seen.. Once i get some proper internet I'll stick some videos such good Poi work has to be seen to be believed.
