So we last posted on Monday where we had arrived at the Aquamarine resort in Ao nang Krabi.
On the Monday night on the off chance we booked an excursion to the 4 islands around Krabi and Phuket. We didn't quite know what to expect for our 6 quid but it turned out to be one of the best days out of the trip.
An early start with a scrumptious hand delivered breakfast to our room we were picked up from the lobby at 9. Still quite wondering what the day would bring the pick up truck became full wit
h other eager tourists.
After a little wait at the shore we were guided onto a Long Tail boat, like a herd of sheep. The long tail boat was basically powered by a huge motor turning propeller which was angled into the water by a "jolly" fisherman. All of the components were on show with the moving mechanism easily accessible by hands, lets put it this way: it would never pass British standards of Health and Safety. But we were not too fussed so longs we got there safely.
A quick decision made us move onto the roof of the boat which made it possible for us to soak up more of the views and sunshine, with some fantastic scenery which was picture perfect.
With the
white sand between our toes and clear blue 
sea only a leap away it couldn't get much better until we went snorkelling surrounding by a wide range of colorful fish and coral.
The sea water was very salty with Ben Joe referring it too McDonald's chips which they had previously sampled in Phuket, it wasn't the nicest tastes in your mouth but we got used to it and the surrounding beauty certainly made up for it.
The snorkeling session was closely following by a Running Bomb of the top of the boat which was particularly amusing as Joe soaked many of the passengers on the lower deck of the boat.
Jamie's attempt at a dive simply ended in a painful belly flop which was sore for some time. But recoverer was needed for the next island for Beach Football.
As we arrived at the final island we knew we had caught the sun especially Joe (after his many top ups of the cream), therefore we slapped the sun cream on again like it was icing on a cake.
As we pondered around the island soaking up the scenery once again, Jamie asked one of the locals for the ball with a quick and snappy Yes! next thing we knew it Joe was involved and a match was set up after a heated, fun, sandy game with retired back to the Long tail boat.
After the boat journey home, we were thankful for a relaxing dip in the pool, followed by a pleasant meal in the local Ao nang town. Our beds were our savour at the end of the night with a good quality dosage of rest on order.
