KohPhangan / Phuket

On our last day in Koh Phangan we went to a nicer beach on the other side of the island and out for dinner with the two girls in our dorm that we went to full moon with. It was a nice day and nice to chat to go out for the day in a group. Our journey to Phuket was pretty hot but it was fine. Wasn't sure how much I would like Phuket as a few people have said it's not much to write home about, but I've actually really enjoyed it. We've done alot of beaching recently so decided to stay in Phuket town, rather than the beach. Phuket is huge so hardly feels like an island. Last night there was some some sort of celebration and market going on outside our hostel, and very few tourists around, so that was interesting to see. Today we went on a '6 in 1' safari. I was really excited about the elephant trek before we went but honestly I probably wouldn't do it again. It was fun to see and feed the elephants but I just felt the whole thing was a bit cruel. After than we went to canoeing, to a waterfall and to a gibbon sanctuary, so the second half of the day was really good. Have got lots of nice pictures from today. Off out for dinner now! We leave for Koh Phi Phi tomorrow morning at 10am, and it should only take a few hours.
