Saturday 18th January
This is quite a
pretty island but NOT stunning gloriously beautiful like Koh Phi Phi Don, where
we anchored last night in a lovely little bay between two fabulous headlands.
Today, however,
the wind is fierce…Well over 30 knots all the way. We only had a small bit of headsail up and
some of us, although extremely brave and uncomplaining, were feeling very well
at all…
As for Phi Phi –
WOO HOO! One of our friends told us Phi
Phi is Patong Beach on steroids. Indeed!
We went in and had dinner in a little seafood restaurant right on the
beach, where longtail boats await their passengers. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of
tourists on the island, all in party mode.
Bars, restaurants, café’s shops, firedancers, all GoGoGo.
We thought it was
just great, fascinating, fun. Woohoo!

And then we went
back to 2XS in our dear little dinghy and…off to bed, presumably to find
Sleepyboboland awaiting. Not so
much! We seemed to be right between two
competing sets of extremely loud loudspeakers.
And it was PARTYPARTYPARTY, LET’S GO DO THE CONGA!!! All night long until – no I am not,
for once, exaggerating, 3.30am. None of
the music was in the least pleasant because there were at all times two
different songs going at once. Four
hollow-eyed ghouls emerged from their cabins this morning… We all slept in till
8.30 but…this was not enough.
