The Beach!



Sunset from tower point!


Took a boat trip out to Phi Phi's little sister yesterday...only a few kilometers away Leh is banned from any development, and to be fair it would be pretty much impossible to develop it anyway as its just towering rock...

It is home to Maya though - the beach they used in the making of The Beach, which is surprisingly, just as peaceful and "Beachlike Paradise" that I thought wouldn't exist because of the film! Great day, swam with sharks just off the island, did some cliff diving and had already done some climbing on Phi Phi beforehand as part of the trip. So pretty damn good fun...

Third Stop: Kiritimati (Kiribati)
Kiritimati receives just one flight a week. The pacific atoll is only 138 square miles in area - but 70% of that is lagoons! It is 2,015 miles from Tarawa, capital of the Republic of Kiribati; 1,335 miles from Honolulu; 4,000 miles from Sydney, Australia, and 3,250 miles from San Francisco. It lies between longitude 157 degrees 10' west and 157 degrees 34' west and latitudes 1 degree 42' north and 2 degrees 3' north. It is 145 miles north of the equator.
