Phi Phi is beautiful. I'm not entirely sure what I expected, but I like how small the island is and spent most of the afternoon wandering through all the little streets sussing the place out. Unfortunately it was low tide so the beach wasn't great today. I also climbed the endless steps to phi phi viewpoint. Don't think I've ever sweated as much in my life. My feet were that slippy from sweat that I kept sliding out my flip flops on the hills! It was worth the effort though as the views were fab, although again would be been better if the tide was in. I found a nice beachside bar to have a well earned beer before heading back to the room to shower.
My hostel is...adequate. The staff aren't the friendliest and the shower cubicles are full of mosquitos, but then again I'm paying £14 a night. I'm in a 6 bed female dorm. When I got there, three of the girls were asleep in bed. It was 2pm so I'm assuming they we're still recovering from the night before. I'd later discover they were American and the other two girls sounded Slovakian. I have to say, they barely acknowledged
my presence so something tells me I won't be making friends and tagging along with them!
I went to Carlitos by the beach for a Bahama mama cocktail (yum, but not a patch on my mums, she's more liberal with the booze). I wasn't that hungry so for dinner I had a chicken salad at Unni's. I was sat next to some chubby, loud mouth chick from Minnesota with the most incredibly annoying accent, so I ate quickly and left.
I went to Slinky's bar on the beach where I caught the end of the fire show. Loud pumping music, topless guys dancing on benches with fags hanging out of their mouths and a bottle of beer in both hands, scantily clad girls gyrating in the sand holding their buckets of vodka red bull, a guy off his face on drugs dancing like he's having a seizure. Welcome to Phi Phi. Then some guy passed out drunk in front of me and face planted on the floor. I'd say I felt old, but if my friends were here I'd be slut dropping in the sand like the rest of them! Julie, if there was ever time I needed you here it's tonight. The music was right up our street.
I finished the night in Muay Thai reggae bar. Drunk customers fighting for a free bucket of booze. What a great idea. I'm gonna open one in scotland, but with knives and glass bottles as opposed to boxing gloves. As I was walking home I saw a guy puke into his cocktail bucket and a girl getting her ass tattooed. Then when I got back to my hotel I saw two stray cats shagging. I do not belong here.
To my surprise, I got back to the dorm room to find all 5 girls asleep in bed. And here I thought they'd be the ones disturbing me when they stumble home. Apparently I'm the party animal staying out until 1230...oh well, booze cruise to tomorrow 🍹🍺
