Krabi
Yesterday Tom and I left the islands on the east coast to go over to the west coast to see the islands over here. The most famous of the islands is Phi Phi. Phi Phi is the island out of the blockbuster film The Beach with Leonardo Decaprio. Krabi is the main port that the ferries sail from so we got the bus there. We arrived there at about 9:30 in the evening. To make it over to Krabi we got a shuttle bus, a ferry, a tuk tuk, a coach and last but not least a school bus.It took about 8 hours. We arrived and found a hotel which was terrible and had some food. As soon as the lady had closed the door to our room Tom caught a glimpse of what he would be sharing his bed with that night. A cockroach, right over his pillow. We turned the room inside out then went to bed. The next day we got a taxi down to Krabi town centre and booked into a hotel for the night. We went out on a long tail boat ride up the river that runs next to the city. The boat driver took us to a few places the only one worth mentioning was a kind of fish farm where he got a blow fish out of the water and made it blow up right before our eyes. Tom and I both found this amazingly funny, he even let us take some photos of it while we held it. I'll have to post them at a later date. Were planning on going over to Muang which is the beach resort area of krabi tomorrow.

Lou rang me all excited to say that you had updated your blog and at the same time 'The Beach' was on Film4. Failing to get me immediately ( Lou don't do patient) rang Nanny to tell her to watch the film cos you were there, now! Quite forgetting the opening scenes of the film where the guy in the hostel opens his veins and bleeds up the walls. DOH!!!!!Love M
Yep, my bad- completely forgot what the film was about- anyway Nan know thinks your in a minging hostel smoking dope with the fella in the room next door cutting opening his wrists and giving you a map. Be sure to let her know when you come across a dope farm,avoid getting caught and fight with a Great White-if you haven't seen the film then this wont make sense. XX
The funniest thing is in our BBQ on saturday, Lou told us you were on the island (pronounced ) FeeFee. We knew it didn't sound right, cos we reckon it sounded like a french stripper in a feather boa, but a friend who's been there told me on Sunday you're on PeaPea. LOL!!
Well hello youngest son James Ryan!!! You really look as tho you're having a great time!! The time seems to be going so quickly, make the most of every minute you're away. You're not missing much here, weather is crap to say the least. Your dear 'Mam' has had a crap year too, I've broken my ankle then my foot! So 2 breaks in 4 months. But hey, I got some time of work!! I'm off on a cruise Sat 1st Aug, so I'll be joining you enjoying the 'high life'. You take care, I'll get back to you soon when I'm back from hols. Look after yourself, Caroline (MAM)
