Traffic Light Trip to Phuket - Day 2 [Part 1]: Wednesday, December 27, 2006

Life Documentation

12 December 2006, Tuesday

On the previous night, we decided that we will join the half day tour to Phiphi islands. So we made a call to our tour guide, arranged everything and tried our best to bargain for better rates.. which we didn't really get. Oh well, at least we tried.

Once again, its another early morning. This time around.. not too early. Had to wake up at 545am as the coach bringing us to Phiphi Island was due to arrive at 715am. Considering that 3 people have to share 1 toilet and still have time left for breakfast before the coach comes... 545am actually isn't that bad.

Only problem was that when all three alarms started sounding almost one after another, none of us was willing to budge.... until Pompy decided that someone should lead. Haha.

The coach came a little earlier than expected which was alright as we were all ready by 7am... it was certainly a long ride to the pier. I mean like really long..... 45mins - 1 hour. And of course, yours truly takes her beauty nap along the way after viewing the sceneries outside the window for some time.

Yes... and to think they are my fellow travelmates *faints*

Why I'm so tired? Coz.. I slept the latest the night before, didn't have a good sleep on that makeshift bed, and I napped the latest on the coach. Hey.. I'm not trying to give myself any excuses here! Haha...

And so after the long ride by coach, it was time to hop onto a yatch. Only that by the time we reached it was already packed with tourists also heading to Phiphi islands. Hence, we were left STANDING... At first we thought it wasn't that bad, since the waters weren't that choppy and we do need to expend extra energy (aka fats.. haha).

Traffic Lights on Yatch No. 1... with Mr. Extra No. 1


And that's the front view of Mr Extra No. 1!

*Chuckles* Oh well... we can't possibly chase away Mr Extra No. 1 right? So anyhow, the sun was alright, the breeze was great.. in fact a little too much. Just check out the POOFY hair I had!! Goodness... so unglamourus... and look how much better Pompy and Nightstar's hair is...

Yatch Babes! *LoL*


Relax.. that's no tsunami. =)


Waves at the rear of the yatch...

Along the way, there wasn't exactly much to see... just the sun, clouds, sky, sea and the beautiful endless horizon... No wonder Man in the past used to think that the Earth was flat. Who could blame them?!

Then suddenly something caught our eyes!


Pirates of the Carribbean 'live'?!


Apologies that the picture didn't come out too sharp but its a boat that is uncanningly similar to those that appeared in Pirates of the Carribean. So cool.... wonder if they borrowed their boats for filming....

After some time, we all got tired... that was like about more than half an hour later. Later I found out from Pompy that the yatch ride was going to last an hour. Goodness gracious me! Standing for one hour?! No way!!

Then of course, we did something not so glamourous... we sat on the floor. But then, we had the courtesy, at least, to not block the passageway. Haha. How kind! And what else could we do on a yatch with no seats?


Taking photos and hogging the lens of the cameras!


Hog...Hog...Hog... Hog...!


And being caught doing another 'unglam' thing... squatting in public!


After what seemed like eternity, we managed to get ONE seat...


Then it was time for me to show off my photography skills...



Great shot cum top 5 fav. photo of this trip
