I wake up to this each morning. It may seem like a water resevoir, but it's really a water resevoir in an extremely gorgeous area--THAT takes away the blandness of such a mundane thing.
After I visited three lookouts on the top of Phi Phi I descneded to town and walked around until I found a restaurant. There, I ate a healthy breakfast (two eggs, two toast with jam, a plate of fresh fruit --watermelon, banana, pineapple--hot tea, and pineapple juice). It was 55BHT; divide by 33 and that's how much it was in USD. CHEAP.
I booked a sightseeing tour today with one of the millions of enterprises here. It was great. We left around 3pm and headed toward the smaller island of Phi Phi Lay. Here we went snorkeling and took a small tour through the [[[[ bay. We returned to the ship and visited the next destination: the famed beach from the movie The Beach, May Lay.
Here we had to swim/climb through a small hole with the aid of ropes. From here we walked a few minutes through the island and came out the other end, onto the beach. There were loads of boats and tourists, which made the experience a little washed out, but I tended to unoccupied shoreline and reflected on how beautiful this bay beach was.
We boarded the boat in time to watch the sun set on the [[[[ Sea, framed by the rock entrance to May Lay. We were fed fried rice, fruit, bverages, and tea during the trip and it cost about 450 bht. 
I extended my stay another night at Tropical Garden Bungalows. I will leave tomorrow on the ferry to Krabbi and Rai Lay Beach--the world famous climbing spot in Thailand; and guess what I'll do there..
Anyway, I woke up early this morning (6:30am) to catch the sunrise from the ocean; and because I didn't account for the enourmous hike to get to the top of this island, I was a few minutes too late. But I was just in time for the sun to crest over one of the mountain tops allowing it rush into the island's heart, igniting the gold rock and clear blue waters and the white beaches.
I can across a unique garden, which was filled with crazy flowers and MONKEYS! cutest little things. Didn't get a great picture, but they were EVERYWHERE!

The rock here was riddled with stalagtites and other weird rock formations--it almost looks like rock is dripping out of the side of cliffs.
