There are bats on Koh Phi Phi

I just wanted to share a funny story. My new friend Chris and I are staying at the same Guesthouse. His room is on the 4th floor and mine is on the 3rd floor. Well we made plans to have dinner last night because I did not know where Lucinda was. Anyways, I leave my room at about 6:30 p.m. to go up to knock of his door and see when he wanted to head out. I was wearing shorts and a tank top as it is really hot here. As I approach his floor, I see all of these things flying around. It took me a minute before I realized it was about 10 bats flying around his floor. To make things worse, his room was at the end of the hallway. I had to think for a minute - and I decided to go back to my room and put my hoodie on. Then I again tried to approach his room, but I was still scared. Then I go back down to my room and grab a flashlight. I again tried to approach his room - but I was still scared. So I crouched down and started to call his name, but he did not answer. Then I thought about trying to get across the floor either on my stomach or my knees - as if I was in boot camp. Well I was still scared, so I went to the front desk and asked the woman about the bats. First, she said that is was probably butterflies, but these things were no butterflies. Then she assured me that bats don't like people, so I should be fine. But her words did not comfort me. I asked her to walk with me to the room, which she happily did, but she started to laugh. Of course, when she accompanies me to Chris's room, the bats were no longer flying around. Later that night, we saw another bat flying around Koh Phi Phi. I wish there was a video showing how ridiculous I looked trying to get to Chris's room.



Anyways, internet is much more expensive (well everything is more expensive on Koh Phi Phi, so I will try and write again from Bangkok on Sunday.
