Rock pool exploring

We've spent our first night in Krabi and realised that we don't know anything that there is to do here or what our next plan will be. Nick's birthday is on the 1st so we want to do something fun for that therefore that is influencing when and where we go next. We needed to do some planning, our favourite thing! We let ourselves have a lie in after the epic travelling day yesterday and then headed out for some brunch. After food we found a nice place on the beach front that does cheap juices and has wifi so set up base here. Having looked into the islands around Krabi we have decided that we would rather use Krabi as our base and do day excursions than stay on these islands. Most seem to be over populated with tourists and very expensive to stay on. Having made a plan we booked two excursions, one for tomorrow to Koh Phi Phi and the surrounding islands and another one for Nick's birthday exploring other islands. We spent time researching into nice hotels to stay in for a couple of nights for his birthday and booked a place down the road that's reasonable but a much nicer hotel. I did love how our seat height criteria included having a bath! Ever since my mum sent me a photo of her bath that she was about to get in we have both been craving one. We also planned that our next stop will be Malaysia and booked a flight there on the 2nd. Having had a successful planning session we headed out for dinner. We walked towards another beach near our hotel which had limited options and in the end Nick convinced me to eat at a street food area that has been set up with around 20 stalls. We ordered food from one and juices from another. I asked if they do the chicken with cashew nuts that I like and he proceeded to ask the chef about this before saying yes. Having received the food I now knew they'd just cooked their stir fried chicken which they had a picture of on the stall and put cashew nuts on the top, cheeky but clever. After dinner we headed to the beach across the road to watch the sunset. The tide had gone out which left behind many rockpools on the beach. We spent the next hour or so until all the light had gone exploring the many pools on show. The sky was the most beautiful colours as we did this. It was the perfect end to a nice successful day.Read more
