The last full day on Phi Phi was a tough one for me. I should have booked myself on another dive, but thought better of it at the time (should have trusted my instinct). I'm not very good at relaxing on holidays. Living in Perth, I get every weekend to relax by the pool or beach It just looses it's appeal on holidays. Kerri's more than happy to sit by the pool & read a book. I can't do it.
I found a few things to keep me busy. I splashed around in a pool a bit doing my best impression of Shamu the Killer Whale. 
The camera was also my friend. Being that it was a nice bright day I set about taking photos of the scenery around the limited area of the resort. 
The local wildlife were camera targets as well. The dove below made showed itself early before I even got out of bed.
An interesting comment about the part of Thailand is that the usual scavanger birds that you see around the world such as ravens (Crows) & seagulls (we even saw them at 4500m above sea level in the Bolivian desert) were nowhere to be seen. It was very odd & I can't explain it. These Asian starlings (below) were the only annoying scavengers around. And they were very cheeky!
I was intrigued by the huge, mainly black bees that were buzzing around the gardens.
Late in the afternoon, while I was lazing by the pool, this olive tree skink started rustling around in the bushes. 
I went for a wander up the hill through the resot to see what I could see only to find the sea on the Western side of the island and a very shear cliff.
The day passed soon enough, but I do regret not going for another dive. Never mind. You live & learn.
