Shell & Daniel

we are now on phi phi, caught the ferry over from Railay which was no probs (not like our usual experiences). we have been here 3nights already. There is alot of rebuilding going on still so alot of the beach front resorts still arent finished. we are staying in a cute little guest house about 100mt from the beach, the beach itself is not so nice, nothing like the postcards any way. the water is quite polluted from the boats and very warm. we been swimming in a pool overlooking the ocean which is much nicer and we have a nice view of the water aswell.
been doing lots of lazing around, played some pool at the local irish pub and daniel found 1000baht (about $40) which was pretty lucky.
going to do the usual sightseeing of phi phi leh while we are here and then off to phuket next for a few days.
sorry nothing exciting to tell, but there is lots of sunshine here which is great!

well as you can guess by the title, it hasnt stopped raining here on ko samui for the past week. yes thats right 7 days straight of rain and thunderstorms. we are getting cabin fever. on the first day of rain the morning was actually sunny so we rented a bike and visited the grandmother and grandfather rock formations. these rocks are on the edge of a beach and have an uncanny resemblance of male and female genitalia. hordes of thai toursits visit, laughing and pointing-very funny really. then the heavens opened up so we thought we better get back and it was an interesting ride as the road was slippery and daniel couldnt see as the rain was pelting in his eyes. thank god for 7-eleven, we hid in there till it was safe to go home. so we have left the spa resort place and all the starving people getting their colons cleansed are now staying at coral cove. this is such a nice beach and we are literally right on top of it, so we are eagerly awaiting a nice day when we can actually lay on the beach and get some sun, its been 4 nights here and still no sun.
apparently the rain has come from china, well we wish it would go back there!!
so no real news to speak of. we went into chaweng for dinner one night, its like a mini Patong. very seedy, daniel got to see the lady boy drag queens in all their glamour and i think it was all a bit much for him. he was not as impressed as i was - they were quite pretty!!
we were planning to go to the full moon party on kophagnan but couldnt find accomodation anywhere on that island, so thought it best to leave it than sleep on a beach and get robbed. over 10,000 people went (not surprising there was no rooms left) and i think it rained anyway!!
so thats all for now, the rain just stopped so we can make a run for our room!
