beach bliss

we are now on ko phi phi don island (http://redirx.com/?0f1x) off the coast of southwest thailand. it is beautiful here. we flew into krabi and took a ferry to the island. the ferry ride in and of itself was awesome as we could watch the blue-green waters and limestone cliffs on various islands speed by. we were greeted at the pier on phi phi by someone from our guesthouse and they gave us a lift to the place. there are no roads on the island, so we took a boat! it was great. you could see all sorts of coral from the boat since the water was super clear and pretty shallow. after we checked in, we headed to another small bay to get the lay of the land. it was low-tide, so we could walk across the beach in a couple inches of water. the water was quite warm! we wandered around for a bit and grabbed some tasty seafood for dinner at a beachside restaurant. after that we hung out at a bar and met two really nice german men and had a great time swapping stories.

we're not quite sure what we'll be up to the next couple days. i think some kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving and beaching are in order. it's a beautiful tropical paradise here!
