Friday 26/02/10

A tourist day was had on a boat trip in the Andaman Sea on a standard tour.

We had an early start to meet the transfer bus in Krabi at 8:00am and were taken to Ao Nang to meet the boat. We spent the day visiting various islands and bays for snorkelling in clear, warm water, including a visit to Maya Bay (famous for the film, The Beach) and lunch was supplied on Phi Phi Island. The boat took us past Viking Cave, which is no longer accessible to tourists, but we could clearly see the scaffolding used for the birds’ nest gatherers.

The trip back to dry land was quite eventful. We rescued a German snorkeller who obviously had not seen the film, Open Water, as she had lost her boat and then we hit a dog fish (a member of the shark family) which was cut by one of our propellers.

Whilst it was a good day, it reconfirmed that beach holidays and tourist resorts are definitely not for us!
