After we got back and had our not so hot shower, we relaxed for a bit before figuring out where to go for nice man at the front desk suggested a good Indian place and we all decided a change up in our diet would be great. We have been having a lot of Thai food.
The mosquitoes in phi phi were insane and very itchy and I had not brought many long sleeve/pants options, so I wanted to find a shawl or some pants that I could wear to combat the mosquitoes. I found a beautiful dark blue shawl with elephants on it that I absolutely love! There are so many cute things buy at the shops there.
After shopping, we went to dinner and enjoyed our Indian food. At first our food didn't come with rice which was strange for Indian so we had to order some for like 75 American cents.
Dinner was cheap(ish) and delicious and not Thai and after we went to the beach. The tide was very far out so the beach was very long. The bars on the beach were already pumping some music trying to get people to come to their place and it was only 8:30. We stopped at one place where they had lounging chairs and soon enough their fire show started! Fire shows are always fun to watch, they're mesmerizing with the twirling flame. We sat and watched for awhile while the techno music got louder and louder.
Some time later we decided to head into a different place off the beach. On the way we got ourselves a bucket. The buckets were sold everywhere and you could get your choice of mixed drink in them. Ty and I split a margarita from some really nice ladies' stall. We enjoyed our margarita and then went to a boxing bar that my friends boyfriend, justin wanted to go to. He wanted to fight himself and we were there to support him. After watching a few fights (I'm not really into boxing), I started getting a little bored and Justin didn't end up fighting so Ty and I went back to the beach were all the action was. We didn't stay super long as the music was loud and the crowd was a little too crazy for us so we walked back to the hotel.
The next morning was a rough one for a few of us because of having too much fun and for me, definitely not getting enough sleep. Also, it was pouring rain again and that always makes me want to keep sleeping. We all woke up a bit late and went to a place for some western breakfast. Ty very much enjoyed his eggs since he hasn't had them all week! I enjoyed a really delicious smoothie with some waffles that were ok.
Ty, Brooke and I wanted to get Thai massages so we went to a place together and got a triples massage! Haha. All the beds are next to each other and you lay down with all your clothes on, the women were so nice and I'm pretty sure they were talking about us in Thai. At one point the woman pointed to my knee, i could feel it, and she said some thing to the other women. I giggled to myself. I have a weird growth from a condition i had in high school called osgood-schlatters (I can't spell it). I wonder what else they talked about!
Thai massages are more focused on your joints and so they move your body around and stretch you, it's quite nice. We all felt super relaxed afterwards.
We had a little bit of time so Brooke, Ty and I decided to hike to the viewpoint. The weather had cleared up a bit which was super nice. There were tons of stairs that got increasingly more steep as we got further up. It was worth the hike because there was a beautiful view at the top. Phi phi viewpoint. We stopped to take pictures and then went on to the second viewpoint which had an even more stunning view!
We were all glistening a little because of the humidity and the sun decided to poke out a bit.
We could only spend a little bit of time at the top because we all had to go run to get our ferry back to Phuket.
During the two hour ferry ride they were playing avatar he movie and so we all got drawn into it. It's such a good movie that I haven't seen in years.
It was super nice getting back to our condo and we all decided that a relaxing night would be the best since we were all exhausted. I was falling asleep even before our pizza came. Yes we ordered out pizza! It was alright. We got a thin crust and a thick crust, the thin crust tasted like jacks frozen pizza and the thick crust tasted like chuckie cheese's pizza. But pizza is pizza and it was delicious.
We watched some That 70's Show and then I thought I had an interview so we went back to the room and the call never came... I had my times wrong so I stayed up late even though I didn't have to! Interview on Monday evening...
