Scandinavian buffet was organised to kick off the evening. I can't even begin to list off the foodstuffs that were on show but I'm quite sure I sampled every one of them. A night of dancing and debauchery followed at our local, Rolling Stoned bar where the band played late into the night. A lot of credit goes to those individuals that dressed up in full santa suits. It's stiflingly hot on Phi Phi at the best of times, try jumping around in a tight red cotton suit and see how you feel. I was happy enough to go with just the hat.
The next morning myself, Ed and Jo, still wearing our santa hats, had Christmas morning breakfast at my local coffee shop. I don't know if I will ever spend Christmas on a tropical island again so I was not going to miss the opportunity to sit on the beach and sip a beer while offering my respects to the man upstairs. A dip in the Andaman sea in santa hats was also a box that was ticked this Christmas Day. That evening Kung arrived from Koh Samui and a nice gathering of 8 souls went for a Turkey and Duck dinner. It was a long way of off the mothers dinner but I can't complain given how far I was away from home. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on the beach is something I will not forget in a hurry.....
