phuket - learning how to do nothing

for our last weekend in asia before returning home for the holidays, we jetted off to thailand, where we relaxed in phuket (click above for photos, which are far FEWER than from recent trips, and hardly do any of the islands justice).

our first day we caught a boat to the more remote (it's all relative) ko phi phi island, which was pretty amazing, but a little too active - snorkling in maya bay, and kayaking to monkey beach to feed bananas to the natives. most of sunday was spent sitting around the beaches of phuket doing much of nothing: reading, swimming, sitting, eating, reading, sitting, swimming, etc.

i'm a shade or two darker now.
