#CookiesOnPhiPhi

When I threw my curtains open this morning the sun was shining on the dump. I was packed and ready for my next stop; Koi Phi Phi island. The boat ride was fairly long but once we approached near land, the scenery was all worth it. White, sandy beaches worthy of postcards were enclosed by colossal cliff faces each one with an abundance of forest jutting out of them. In the docks, colourful long boats bobbed about, the gentle tide knocking them softly while larger ferries prepared to set sail back to Krabi and Phuket.

Each photo I took couldn’t do it justice. By the time I found the beach, I really felt like I was in paradise, just surrounded by beauty and all for only £6 a night. I remained on the beach for the rest of the day eager to see the sun set but before doing so, I had to spend my day’s allowance on a large, long sleeved beach dress to protect my already blistering arms. All I needed was the big hat and I was 11

again in Florida cowering under a tree while my brother and sister played in the sunshine. Not sure I’ll ever learn my lesson.

I watched as two buff guys ran past me on the sand, I almost put down my cookie but realised that there are two types of people in this world. Some run on the beach while others eat an entire packet of cookies on the beach and in that moment I knew which type of person I wanted to be!

A packet of cookies down and I only regretted it a tiny amount as they tumbled into my growing stomach rolls. Well, that’s dinner!

By the evening, I was over being by myself but there was no one at my hostel and the bar I found was quiet and expensive so I headed home for an early night instead. This would be the only lonely and early night I would have!
