Day 23 - 25 Koh Phi Phi

Hello world...its been a while since we checked in. We are safe and sound at breathtaking Railay. A gorgeous bay landlocked by limestone cliffs, just out of Krabi and only accessible  by boat. Since arriving here the heavens opened up, pouring with sunshine, sparkling waters, adventures, and most importantly the lining started returning to our stomachs. Unfortunatley in Koh Phi Phi we were hit with a case of the travelers bug (something in the form of food poising, gardia, or gastro that seriously affected our stomachs). So the beautiful island of Koh Phi Phi is now known by Mike as Koh Poo Poo. Apart from being bunkered down in our room we did manage to go for a swim under the shade of the overhanging limestone cliffs, get lost in the maze of narrow alleyways teeming with trinkets, and we even "managed" (JUST) to climb up to the view point overlooking the island. On our last day on the island, with cloudly minds, unstable legs, and homesickness starting to set in we jumped abroad the ferry to Railay. As we sat on the  bow breathing the salty air, with the wakes lapping at our feet and watching the huge jellyfish swim by I once again realized how special this South East Asia journey is and how lucky we were to be out here in the world. A bad tummy may slow us down but not for long...
