Day 2- Island Hopping and enjoying it.....




After our breakfast...we still have time before our Island Hopping trip (which is schedule at 9.15am) so we had our first walk to the hotel beach...the sand is white and soft...and it is beautiful....we took a lot of photos and these are among the good ones.....lucky for us the day is bright and beautiful so all our photos turn out good...hehehe...jgn jealous...



After being pick-up by the Pangsajaya people, we were on the way to the islands.......but before that we were asked by the person in charge of our trip to wait at the lobby by 9.15am but they only came and picked us up at 9.40am...apparently...according to the hotel bellboy, this people are always late...hmm.....good thing we were on o good mood....by the way....never let a photographer take your photo when u reach the meeting point.....they actually did a little scamming there by taking your photo and print them on a plastic plate and sell them to you at RM10 each......yep...what people do.....it really pissed me off.....



Our first stop for today's trip....Island of the Pregnant Maiden...Tasik Dayang Bunting....all this while i've been hearing oabout this place...now i'm there...but you know what....what they didn't mention was...in order to get to the lake....you have to climb a lot of small steps in the beginning to get to the top but later to go down to the lake....the steps is as high as your knee....as for non Malaysian or people with long leg...no problem...imagine people like me...till today i still have the tension on my tight....hehehhehe....luckily i'm not the only one....and also...beware of the monkeys there....very aggresive....don't bring anything in plastic bags...they even have a warning sign about that...hehehe....but it is a nice place....and oh yes...don't forget to bring drinking water...you'll need them...


Eagle Feeding....the 2nd internary in the Island Hopping package....as u can see...there's a lot of eagle flying and diving to the surface to get their food....our camera can't capture the real beauty of this scenery....maybe next time we will...can't wait..

This is the only photo of this Island we went to as the final destination of the Island Hopping trip, the island of Singa Besar. The water here is as clear as crystal....well surely u can see from the photo but...really...you have to go there...our mistake is that we didn't know that we'll be there for an hour so we can actually swim...since we didn't bring any extra shirt or shorts....Kerel just jump in with his jeans....who want to missed it..look at the water.....would you want to miss it? There's only a jetty and a small shop and hut there...so that's why the sea so clean...but too bad the island is not that clean...we think maybe because there's not many dustbin around...so visitors just throw them everywhere or the monkeys did...yep...this place has them too...and a lot too...heheheh...be careful...

After the Island Hopping, we went back to our room for a short rest and continue our day with a drive towards the other side of the island...to see the cable car or Datai. We're not sure what this place is called...we called it the Marina....behind these boats far away is a building....there is where our former PM Mahathir shop is ...The Loaf....we passed by but didn't stop....anyway....when Kerel took this photo, we were at a petrol station, after taking the photos....he decided to pump the tyres....when he was pumping the 4th tyre, suddenly the pump broke, so the air in the tyre came out and puncture the tyre....so he asked the attendaces and they say the nearest station is about 10km from there....luckily we got a map with us so we decided to try the one near the cable car area...when we finally reach the place, to our dismay...it is on of those kampung station....so we just ask them if there's anywhere we can get our tyre pump-up.....they said down the road there's a mechanic shop.....yes...we're saved....we pump it and off to see the cable car.....for sure i'm not riding it so we just drive tru the parking place...hehehhee....then we decided to drive up to see Datai....

This is the entrance Lobby of the Datai.....heheheh...don't even dare to stop and walk in even for the view....to exclusive for us...so we only took some photos...but if you really wanna stay there make sure you really have a lot of money coz....it is really far away from anything else.....


Pantai Kok...this photo is taken at Pantai Kok...futher up from Pantai Cenang before you go to the Cable Car.....nothing much here but as you can see there's a lot of private yatch and sail boat behind Kerel.....you have to really go there yourself in order to see the beautiful scenery with all the boats and moutains as the background.....just splendid....



The beautiful sunsets.....there a lot more of these photos but i chose this 2 as my fav.,....we were on our way from Kuah town when we decide that we wanna take this sunset photos...so we were sort of rushing and driving a bit fast so that we can actually get this scene...these were taken at the beach where we stayed.....beautiful is it...
