This weekend my ladies and i took a trip to Phuket and Koh Phi Phi. And adventure to say the least. I have wanted to go to Halong Bay in Vietnam, northern Vietnam, since i've learned of how absolutely gorgeous it is and how there are these huge bluffs that literally jut out of the water in any and every direction. Taking the boat ride to and around Kho Phi Phi and Koh Phi Lei was in my opinion, the equivolent. Now if i ever get to see Halong Bay this may change my mind. However, i felt as if i where approaching the Southeast Asian version of Monte Cristo. The Isle of Chateu D'if felt like it was just around the corner. The massive rocks loomed over us, tapering significantly inwards at the bottom to reveal tiny crevices, caves, and canals, taunting us with looking as if balancing boulders where going to topple on top of us at any moment. The water is clear a day, all the way to the bottom. The rocks having remnants of red, streaked throughout the length and width; yet this doesn't even compare to the intensity of color found in the world beneath the water. Snorkeling proved to be well worth the bhat, you plunge into the water, carefully because it looks like all of the coral is inches from you (so clear), and yet it turns out to be meters below. The array of colors is nearly indescirbable, electric blue, piercing purple and neon green, all in a single fish. The creatures of the deep are innumerable, from the slightly terrifying form of the sea urchin to the miniature school fish, it's all and experience to be had.
