The trip was such a disappointment! On the first day, we travelled from phuket to krabi. It took two hours long. My sister felt sick after that, serves her right for reading her book(breaking dawn) for the whole ride. After that, we went to a smaller version of a shopping store to look for stuff. There was a local fruit market there and my mum bought lots of fruits(yum). After that, we headed to the tiger cave, at least thats what they call it. It was actually a monks temple. The guide warned us that we hould be careful of our belongings as the monkeys there might steal it. Well, there really were lots of monkeys there. 2nd day. We went to four islands. First island was quite boring. It was just a trip around it. The sea was amazingly clean and blue. Second island was ummm, can't remember. Third island was called chicken island( funny name). We were just supposed to jump straight from the boat and start snorkelling. That was the disappointing part. There was hardly any fish in the sea and plus, the water wasn't even clear it was really musty:(. It was ten times worst then Redang(somewhere where i snorkelled before). There were lots of big fishes and glupers(not sure how to spell) there and you could see lots of corals in the waters of Redang. My dad was so angry. He thought that he was 'cheated' of his money. He told the guide that the fishes were ikan billis and told him that Chicken island's snorkelling area did not even stand a chance against Redang ( my dad was trying to hide his anger). Fourth island was the best. The sea water was really clen and the waves were really big, something that would cheer my dad up. Finally, we went bac to the hotel to chill out. 3rd day. We went to the spa. Looking at the guide, it does look really nice and green and fresh. It was so expensive! About 6ooo bud(thai currency not sure how to spell ahain!!My father thougth that it was worth the money. But after reaching there it was nothing like the picture that the guide showed us. There were so many mozzies that i got biten so many times! Well, the massage was pretty good and the hot spring was really warm(i only dipped my feet in because i didn't want to change into my swimsuit.) So, my whole family sat soaking our feet. In order to prevent getting bitten by mozzies, my mother made us march on the spot non-stop. She even made a little rhyme to go with it. "Marching up and down in the 'swa deng'" Haha:) 4th day Time to leave. Before leaving the hotel, my dad, my sister and i went to play table tennis and billard. It was great fun even thought the ball kept bouncing of the table for table tennis and i kept missing to hit the balls. I guess my holiday was ok but it sure wasn't up to any of the other holidays that i had.
