Koh Phi Phi - No Roads and Lots of Fire Shows

My first full day in Koh Phi Phi was a lot of fun. I finally hooked up with Lucinda and just relaxed on the beach during the day and walked around the town at night. The great thing about Koh Phi Phi is that there are no roads, so all the locals pretty much get around my either by walking or by bicycle. There a few motorbikes, but not many and they are usually used by the police only. Koh Phi Phi is a bit touristy and has too many Americans for my liking, but the views and the locals are really cool, so it was definitely worth the trip. I also got great Mexican food at the Banana Bar - chicken enchiladas. Yum... wish I had one now!

There have a lot of fire shows in the evening. You have two options I know of. You can go to Carlito's or Carlita's to watch the more advance folks performing fire shows, such as twirling a baton that is on fire, but don't get too close because sometimes they throw it up in the air and don't catch it and it could land on you. The other option is to go to the Apache Bar where the younger guys are trying to learn how to perform in a fire show. This one you definitely do not want to sit too close because these kids are drinking quite a bit and it seems a bit dangerous to allow them to be playing with fire. However, they are quite entertaining and very nice. The Apache Bar also has viewer participation, such as fire limbo, jumping through a fire ring and fire jump roping. I have a video of me fire jump roping, but can't seem to load video.

Lucinda and I are suppose to be limboing under this fire stick, but we crawled instead.

Me jumping through a fire ring. It was really hot and luckily I still have my hair.

Here is a picture of Lucinda (my English travel buddy) and Moira, a woman from Italy. We sort of lost her the second evening and never saw her again before we left.
