Koh Phi Phi Views and Snorkling

My last day in Koh Phi Phi was brilliant. Since it was my last day, I wanted to go to the viewpoint. I can't even tell you how many steps you have to walk up, but my legs are still sore. The hike is definitely worth the views.

Can you image if this was the view you woke up to everyday? It is quite breathtaking. The tsunami hit this island five years ago and so a lot of the development around this stretch is new.

Near the viewpoint, someone has tacked this picture to a tree. It serves as a reminder of the devastation that hit this region not too long ago. I also saw a few locals wearing t-shirts in remembrance of the tsunami.

After my hike, I headed to beach to meet Lucinda and Moira for a day of snorkeling and a mini tour of the little islands around Koh Phi Phi on a long boat.

Here is a picture of me and monkey on Monkey island. The unfortunate part is that the locals and tourists give these monkeys really unhealthy things, such as candy and soda.

Here is a picture of Lucinda and I are the "beach" - I think it is called Mora Bay. These is where the movie The Beach with Leo C. was filmed. It was really beautiful and nice to swim in, but of course every tourist goes there so it got a bit crowded.

Here is a photo of the sunset from the boat on our way back to Koh Phi Phi. Sadly it was the first and probably last sunset I will see on this trip. There was quit a bit of rain and fog during the early part of my trip, so no views of sunsets. However, this was a really beautiful one.
