No Earthquake here!

So I think it's day 6 here for me on Phi Phi. Even though I have my phone it doesn't really matter what day it is so I keep forgetting. I had planned to head over to Krabi but delayed it a few days as I've befriended a couple of Albertan girls (which is also why I haven't written as much, we've been running around keeping busy) who are heading over to Krabi and Raleigh beach themselves and then one is leaving and I'm going to travel with the one staying for a few more days before I fly back to Bangkok on the 20th.

So tonight will be my last night on Phi Phi, but I'm happy to move on. My guest house hasn't had water since last night, the toilets are full and we have to brush our teeth with bottled water. Thankfully the Albertan girls are going to let me use their shower, two days of salt and sweat is not pleasant. My guesthouse experience has been interesting: I did meet two nice girls from Vancouver Island, but have determined that you pretty much need to be drunk to get a good nights sleep or change your sleeping hours from 4pm to 3am. Last night I tried sleeping with my headphones in and music on, slightly better. Although some drunk guy woke me up by falling of his top bunk around 3am and stumbling to the corner to relieve himself. Yup. Surely the window must be open I thought to myself as I tried to go back to sleep. To the extreme malfortune of the people sleeping near there, I discovered this morning that nope, there is definitely no open window.

Walking around Phi Phi you can tell people come here to party. In two days I'd seen enough broken feet, arms, bandaged limbs, broken noses and bruises to laugh about it. (Don't worry, I only have a couple of bruises :P) The rest of these people are nuts! The music is really good here, you can't help but want to go dance. But after a couple of nights of buckets I think I'm done drinking for awhile lol. I wonder also many of the injuries come from the boxing at Reggae Bar. Last night some girl actually knocked another one out! She got up after and seemed to be ok.

I'm just finishing up my lunch then me and the Albertan girls and two Chicago guys we met are going to hike the viewpoint then watch Hangover 2 at the Banana Bar (the rooftop bar/resto) tonight. We plan to be on the 9am boat to Krabi tomorrow and head straight to Raleigh beach. Pictures to follow (see above)
