Ever felt that perhaps you should have checked what the average age of holidymakers at your intended destination is before booking? Nope, us neither.
In total contrast from the snowy UK, we spent a few days with our friends Keith and Sara on the Thai island of Phi Phi. This is considered a backpackers holiday destination, but I think the definition of 'backpacker' may have changed since I last looked. Now it means anyone between 18 and 25 who wants to travel the world and 'find themselves' by consuming copious amounts of alcohol and getting half-body tattoos at 2am. Wearing T-shirts that say 'I luv Phi Phi' whilst oogling the amount of flesh on display on the beach is also recommended. Oh...and on no account should you be Thai!
All that aside, it was a brilliantly relaxed time that involved snorkelling, catching up with good friends, eating and drinking. Oh...and watching the antics of the lesser spotted backpacker...
