Island Hopping By: Audra

Our last three days have been filled of island fun and adventure! Yesterday we went on a sea canoe trip to a cluster of islands off of Phuket. We literally had to lie down in the canoe (because the cave is too low to sit up) and then got to a beautiful lagoon with long-tailed macaques (for all of you non-anthropologists, a macaque is monkey). They were just feet from us! At night we went for a night canoe and saw the phytoplankton all lit up in the water like stars in the sky. So amazing! Today we went snorkeling and saw lots of bright fish. This evening, while out exploring, we stumbled upon the Phuket annual carnival, which added to our selection of amazing foods-- I had a banana nutella Thai pancake and Christine and I also got some more fresh fruit.

Tomorrow we head to Vietnam...more later!
