Ready to go home

Well our vacation is drawing to an end; we are leaving within the next 3 hours to go back to Bangkok. It is sad but at the same time exciting. This time has been greatly needed for all of us and it has served our tired bodies well. Now I am ready to go back and tackle what the Lord has for me back home, back in reality. So many times when I’ve looked out at the see with the white sand and amazing view and it’s just seemed like we’ve been on a movie set getting ready to film and desert island scene. This just doesn’t seem real. The Lord’s creation just never ceases to amaze me.

We’ve also done a bit of sightseeing while we’ve been here. We went to Maya Bay (where the movie The Beach was filmed) that was pretty cool, and an actual movie set LOL. We also went to a bay called Monkey Bay where we saw wild monkeys and fed them watermelon – now that was probably my highlight. They were so absolutely cute and cuddly the only problem with them was that if we got too close they could potentially bite and give us rabies – well I don’t think so! One of them though, took my hand a couple of times and wanted to jump onto my lap. We also swam at a point called Shark Point where apparently sharks show up although, sadly, we didn’t see any. We saw a plethora of fish though and as the crewmembers of the boat fed them rice in our vicinity we were able to gaze at them and their multitude of colors. Like I’ve said it’s been a wonderful time, but now it is time to go back home and get back into life.

Good bye Phi Phi island, thanks for everything! I'll definitely see you again.
