Day 4 Krabi-Phi, Phi

Day 4

I woke up early and walked down to sit by the beach for a bit. I sat there a while and just watched the ocean out from our hotel down from the main beach in Krabi, not sure of the name. There is always something so soothing and renewing about the ocean. One of the things I find most beautiful in this world, of all the places I’ve been…I love the ocean. Took a few pictures in a small hope to capture this feeling forever but knowing only experiencing it in real life is ever as fulfilling.

Went back to see if Kaleena was up and pack to check out and head over to Phi Phi Island. Kaleena is starting to experience some traveler’s sickness. I tell her I have some anti-diarrhea pills and that I’ll give them to her. As we are packing she thanks me for the pills…. that I didn’t set out. When she shows me the empty packet, it is some decongestants that must have fallen out of my bag. Needless to say she was VERY groggy and it didn’t help with her other sickness…. We waited for our driver to the ferry as she went in and out of crazy dreams.

The ferry ride over to the island was rocky, and the boat was small. Lots of locals were transporting things to the island, bikes, clothes, and other effects. We exit the ferry and find our escort to our hotel. There are no motorized vehicles on this island so he has a cart that we put our ruk sacs in. …. Okay backpacks, but I just like the sound of ruk sac…and takes us through the pathways of restaurants and shops. It really feels like a tourist beach town. The cabanas are all booked but the plus is that we get an upgrade to a bigger room. The room is comfortable and clean, a perfect place to rest.

We unpack and head down to check out the beach. Kaleena is starting to feel worse and worse, so we lay low and relax. She takes a nap and I wander around for a bit. It is beautiful. I go and drag her out of bed and make her go down to the beach. It is an inland cove. We lie there and look out at the water, boats, and local boys and traveling guys playing soccer on the newly available beach. The tide is going out and the boats sit on the sand with their anchors linked. They look lost without the water hugging their sides. Some clubs start to set up for the ‘fire shows’ I am tired from getting up so early and K is not well…so after falling asleep on the beach we go back to our room and call it a night. It’s best anyways so save us from being hung over the next day.
