Oh my Lanta!!!!

The last few days have been quite interesting: a day at the beach and a few days of severe food poisoning leading to a trip to the health clinic.  So we chilled out in our air conditioned, cable tv guesthouse eating ramen noodles to get better. After spending over a week on Koh Phi Phi - we decided we needed a change of scenery. 

Thought it would be a great idea to take a ferry to another island, Koh Lanta.  Hmmmmmm big mistake! Found out it rains all the time ( you know, during rainy season, it rains right? Makes sense, I guess). 

Well our adventure to the pier was lovely.  It is normally about a 10 minute walk from our guesthouse. Well after about 5 minutes, there was a torrential downpour. We were running through puddles of dirty water with our packs and purses - everything getting soaked.  So about 10 minutes later we get on the ferry- happy because we are finally out of the rain!! -- but then they tell us we are on the wrong ferry! Haha so we hop off, find our packs and get onto the other one.  Needless to say, both of us looked like drowned rats by the end of this. 

So here are some pictures below of the extremely low tide beaches and all the closed restaurants!! And the view from our bungalow which is actually really nice!!
