Christmas!

I definitely enjoyed a little heaven on earth this last week. Phuket, pronounced 'poo-khet' was PHENOMENAL.

Our entire day plan while we were there was pretty much survive for as cheaply as possible, relax to our maximum potential while still seeing everything on the island and getting to hang out with some friends. Our first day we just crashed on the beach until we decided we should find the bungalow we reserved to stay at for the week. The girls all got the bed and the guys camped it on the beach and just used the shower and porch...we had a fantastic view of the city!! 

Day 2 We got a Thai driver for the day for really cheap and had him take us to all the sites he thought were the best on the island, he showed us this great swimming spot, a giant buddha monument, a village of sea-gypsies and some temples before taking us home where we spent sunset swimming on the beach again.

Day 3 We scored another deal and got to go to Ko Pi Pi, a great island with some epic cliff views and really good snorkeling. I identified all the characters of finding nemo but couldn't tell you the real names of all the fish. I've never seen a coral reef in the wild before, it was sooo beautiful!!
Day 4 Spent the day on the beach

Christmas! Found another beach and bummed it there, later managing to score MEXICAN FOOD! Yay! Everyone devoured the food and we even got to spy on a live Christmas concert next door, jamaican singers? It was a definitely island-christmas.
