Phi Phi Don<->Phi Phi Le
After a slow start, we gained momentum and went to look for a boat to visit Maya beach. After not even paying attention to 2 offers, for some reason I pad attention to one local guide. We discussed the price (I saw a better offer than his) and finally agreed to leave with him (Harum; his boat is "Aslan"). We were all glad we chose him: his was the only boat playing music (mostly Bob Marley; and other chilling songs like the one chosen for this chapter) and he took us to Phi Phi Le (uninhabited island south of Phi Phi Don) to 3 great snorkeling spots and Maya beach (famous for Leo DiCaprio's "The Beach"… sadly looking worse than 4 years ago: more expensive fee to land, more development and less cleaning)
Of course, so much snorkeling meant exposure of our backs to the sun… a lot ):)
But all was worth, plus we witnessed a glorious sunset. May Jah Be Blessed!
After arriving and getting showered, we went to check if we could get a speedboat to Hin Daeng / Hin Muang for tomorrow… only to find out there are no more trips from Phi Phi (and we have no time to go to Lanta). And the diving spots were mostly the same we just snorkeled! So… we went for dinner! After getting enough watermelon juices (Martusia read they help recover from sunburn… something we all need… mostly white me!) and water, we went to sleep with different plans: the Becker's was to recover till the morning, mine was to take a nap and go dancing again to the beach… when the alarm rang at 1130pm, I barely could move to stop it… I have a foggy memory of doing it and thinking "La put…" and falling asleep again…
