We took our time this morning and back to a little breakfast place we had gone before. After some food and yummy Thai Tea we went wandering to the other beach to check out the rock climbing. We got there and Trey could not resist. He climbed two faces of one of the cliffs and was quite successful! It was incredibly humid today and we made our way back to the hotel to get our bags. We were told to wait for the boat that would take us to the ferry around 2:15. We grabbed a bite to eat where we waited... and waited. Good ole coconut time; around 2:45 a guy found us and said he was our guide to Phuket, we would leave at 3:20, and gave us stickers. Around 3:45, we got on a longboat and headed out for our open sea transfer! We climbed aboard the ferry and read and napped our way to Phuket.

Once in Phuket, we were put on vans for the transfer to our hotel, the Aspery. We finally made it to our hotel at Patong Beach, checked in and discovered we had a room with two twins beds. We settled in and headed out to get some dinner since it was after 7pm already. We found a nice outdoor place across the street from the beach with a live cover band. It wasn’t quite our hole in the wall place in Railay Beach but it was good. We strolled back amidst offers of massages, suits, DVDs, Tuk-Tuk, and every knick knack souvenir you could imagine.
