White tiger at the Fantasy show

Fantasy elephant
Miserable, wet, gloomy; three words that describe Phuket perfectly at the moment. It had to be the worst season in Phuket while we were visiting. For the first three days we stayed inside our hotel room and did basically nothing. Every time you went to walk outside it would pour down with rain. It was absolutely terrible. Except my sisters friend Renae and her parents were coming to Phuket to see us on the 27th of September.
While we were in Phuket we went to quite a few shows. We went to the cobra show, the monkey show, Fantasy and a lot more. But my favourite thing we did in Phuket was the White Water rafting and the elephant riding tour. There were so many things to do in Phuket, especially shopping. We all bought so much clothes that it wasn’t funny. The day before we left to Hong Kong airport we went cable water skiing. All of our arms really hurt from the rope swinging us around the corner.
This trip has been amazing but it had to come to an end; that end was this morning. We flew out from Phuket airport to Hong Kong airport. We had a connecting flight and stayed at Hong Kong airport for 5 hours. Our flight to Perth didn’t leave till 11:30pm. There wasn’t much to do around the airport. But time flew by very quickly; I think it was because I was super excited. It was a long flight back but we finally arrived at Perth airport. We went through customs and our friend already bought our car to the airport for us. On the way back home I thought about all the incredible places we’d been to but like they say… there’s no place like home.
