Hello from Franz Joseph Glacier in New Zealand. Thought we'd finish off the Thailand pics before we started posting the Kiwi Land ones. Very Beautiful here. A bit cold today but we are pretty close to the Antarctic here..plus there's a Glacier 2km away so we can't really complain!
1) Our Long Tail Boat driver who took us to Phi Phi Lei. This is where the movie The Beach was shot. We did get into trouble on the way back as there was a storm coming in and waves of 5-8 feet started pounding the side of the boat. We almost capsized a few times and our driver lost his seat (The bouncing around tossed it out of the boat)..anyway he was fairly drained after getting us back..a little wetter..but safer :)
2)A group of Long Tail boats docked on Phi Phi
3)When the tourists run under cover from a rain storm all the local children come out to play. This little guy was enjoying the water while we huddled in a store pretending we were looking at T-Shirts but really just trying to wait out the storm
4) This one is taken on Koh Lanta. In that hole is a crab, and those spheres around the hole are what the crab spits out after eating all the nutrient goodness from the sand. Basically once the tide heads out thousands of these guys come out to eat the nutrient rich sand (That the tide has deposited)..really neat to see all these little designs..it basically changes the look of the beach in hours. Until the next tide, and the process starts all over..Circle of Life..blah blah blah
5) A view from Phi Phi Noi
6) This one was taken in Lanta from a beutiful Hotel that was a bit too expensive for Thailand ;)
7) This one is off Koh Samui in Ang Thong National Park. It's a large lake ina mountain
