Last Day on Koh Phi Phi

Modified: May 22, 2011 · Published: Sep 5, 2008 by Dave Lee |

Approaching Phi Phi's main beach

Before those drinks with Nathan my last night, I'd spent the day in the shade, though I did stop by a beach restaurant for lunch to take in the views. Between rooftop ferry rides and baking under an umbrella on the sand, I needed the break.

A longboat sits idle

I spent a few hours on the internet doing the often mundane acts of uploading photos and creating DVD back-ups to send home.

Phi Phi Don's main village

In the late afternoon, I met up with Catharine and Josie, and along with another French Canadian, we ascended the steep stairs and path to a scenic viewpoint.

The isthmus on Koh Phi Phi Don

The photo opportunities were great, though the sunset itself did not beat the one we saw our first night from Long Beach.

Sunset from Phi Phi viewpoint

After the sunset, we headed back to town for dinner and a delicious Cornetto ice cream cone from 7-11. I'd been eating them daily for weeks, and Josie and Catharine affinity for them lessened my guilt. :)
