Skinny?

Today was Michael's never ending ploy to get me to loose weight. We started the morning with a minimal breakfast and then headed on a trek to a semi secluded beach. A treacherous hike mixed with midday sun left us slimy upon arrival but it was well worth the 50 minutes of cross-fit. The crystal clear water and views of the Phi Phi islands made it picture perfect and the luxury resort behind us made us forget we were backpackers for the day. Left the beach grabbed a quick Thai pancake (a crepe to us Westerns) and headed to the view point to catch sunset. Umm yeah Michael failed to mention the view point was a 40 minute trek at a 90 degree angle, oh we felt the burn. We took some great pictures and hurried down before the mosquitos carried us.

Then on to the exciting news of the day, our shower got fixed and we not only have water pressure but hot water!!! I can't believe we went 2 days without it when we were paying for it. This hostel really isn't bad it's just the language barrier is tough, I'm just happy we at least asked about the toilet seat on day one.

This trip has made us realize how little food we need. I know a lot right now has to do with the heat but we've eaten so little and are rarely hungry. We're heading to dinner now but thus far today we've had a two egg omelet, two pieces of toast, a banana Thai pancake and 640 ml of Chang beer, plus loads of water and we're fine. Having to buy everything and not having room for snacks helps, plus for what they charge for a can of Pringles (which are huge here) you can get a full Thai meal which makes buying them hard to swallow.

And no I don't think Michael really has a ploy for me to loose weight, that boy spends to much time fussing over his own body to worry about mine :)

Moving on to Chiang Mai tomorrow and I even convinced my extremely budget conscience husband to let us fly! WINNING!
