Today went to Phi Phi island to go snorkeling. Had to get up at 6 this morning to be ready for 7, and had no choice but to have breakfast at the hotel as all other shops were closed. Our driver was 30 minutes late and it took him more than an hour to get to the harbour. He even drove around the block a few times and was constantly pulling over - He was EXTREMELY lost. 
Finally got to the harbour to get on the cruise boat to Phi Phi, which took us nearly 2 hrs to get to. WE then did a tour around phi phi dong and phi phi loe before doing a snorkel off the boat. THe snorkel i bought from home snapped just as i put it on, so i had to hire : (  There were so many fish it was incredible, but my digital camera screen stopped working which got me annoyed. Luckily i didnt lose any photos. After the snorkel, we went to phi phi hotel to have a buffet lunch, and met a couple from australia who knew people from wollongong that I knew, and then we met another lady from wollongong as well.... small world. Funnily enough, the man we met had the same problem with his camera as i did and we had the exact same camera, both broken at the same time on the same tour.... coincidence - i think not.

Took the cruise back to harbour, before catching coach back to hotel. Went to hotel pool and had a beer poolside. Dinner was a fried omellete with pork and shrimp. 

Finally went search for a camera in the mega mall here (got one for 100 dollars) with a light show and ice cream run to finish it off.

Visiting James bond island tomorrow, the location from the movie 'man with the golden gun'

Phew!

Good thing you didn't lose any pictures. You can replace a camera, but not your photos.
