thailand: day 2

we got up early in the morning, had breakfast at the hotel, then got picked up by a truck to head to the port.  from there we took a 2 hour boat to phi phi island.  immediately we headed for the diving center to sign up for scuba diving.

we had classroom instruction while enjoying really good fried rice and pastries from local vendors, and then went into the water for skills learning.  i panicked at first but was able to complete all of the skills.  then we went back for more classroom instruction.

then we checked into the hotel and explored the town.  had dinner (green curry, chicken and papaya salad) at a place called papaya.  the food was really good.  we already started falling in love with thailand. 

we went back to the hotel and went to bed early.
