take me to the beach...

Had a quality few days and the sun is shining properly for the first time since we been here!! wahooo!!
We said bye to our Essex lads and since then I've been really ill being sick so had to chill for a bit and now I have conjuctivitus, greeeeat!! but it aint stopping me from having a good time.
We had to cross the border to get our passports re-stamped so we can stay here for another month. Was a mission and ended up in Malaysia for bout 20mins then come back, seemed pointless to me, we stayed in Krabi for the night and went back to Phi Phi the next day coz we love it here. We are gonna do Krabi and Ko Lanta after xmas now.
So back in Phi Phi we booked our selves a camping trip to Maya Beach (where they filmed The Beach) and it was amazing!!! We left at 3 in the afternoon and only had bout 9 others in our group so was nice to get to know everyone.
On our boat ride over we stopped to go snorkelling; normally I would stay on the boat too scared to get in coz there were fish everywhere!! but I decided to give it a go so got on my snorkel and life jacket (haha) and swam with the fish and actually quite enjoyed it. I did freak out a bit as they were surrounding us but wouldn't let Amy leave my side and we ended up having fun.
We got to the island and it was beautiful. The sun was shining still and the sea was the bluest and clearest I have ever seen u could see right to the bottom and the sand was so soft and white, it really was paradise!!!

We all set up our tents on the beach and sat down for dinner which was blooooody spicy curry, phwoar!!! we then made ourselves comfortable on the mats and got drinking on the buckets with a BBQ going infront of us. We put on our music and chatted away having a laugh and playing drinking games. There just about 12 people on this island, no one else at all. The walk to the loo's were pretty scary tho as it was pitch black n u had to walk through a foresty bit and there was a huge crab in there which u had to watch out for!!ahhh!!! I sat up watching the stars, there were so many of them it was amazing and we went for a paddle when the moon was shining down on the sea. Our group were really cool; an irish couple, 3 Ozzy girls, 2 Irish women, and a French couple along with our German and Thai leaders. Some people went bed pretty early but I didnt want the night to end so decided to set my bed up on the beach and layed there all night taking in the scenery and stuff (god I sound like an old fart but seriously this place is unreal!!!)
Hardly slept all night but apparently amy said we had crabs crawling over us in the night, ewww. Got up early and went swimming in the sea, had brekkie and left around 10. Was such a good trip.
We got back, booked ourselves in somewhere and got straight down the beach because the sun was proper shining for once wahooo!!! Our last night in Phi Phi 2nite before we head back to Koh Samui to spend xmas and new year with Nic and Law, I cant wait!!xxx
