A short getaway 2 to 4 June 2011

Mummy and Daddy managed to get away for a short trip. The girls are all so happy to be 'camping' over at their 奶奶's house. So we happily hoppped over to a beautiful little island in Malaysia called 'Redang' ~ Laguna Redang Resort. The day before Day 1...

We took a night bus and after a long travelling time for about 11 hours, we reached Merang Jetty.

Day 1

Finally, we board a ferry at 9.45am headed for the little island, it took nearly an hour before reaching. We gathered at the hall for a briefing - the snorkeling trips, the facilities and the activities available at the island. Hmm...sounds exciting...

at Laguna Redang Resort's jetty...

collapsed in the cosy and spacious room...beautiful pool view from our room... after sumptous lunch at the Terrace...still soaking in the beautiful sights

After lunch, we head our for our first snorkeling trip of the our lifetime...at 3pm....location - somewhere out there (haha cannot recall the name) in the deep blue sea...

our first underwater photography..don think my eyes were open.. hee..trying hard to hold my breath and not to be overwhelm by the sea...

hmm..cannot see anything the first time..don even know that therez a coral there..only pose becos the photographer said so....keke...hmmm..."nemo's house, pose!" and down i went..

I took a while to adapt to snorkeling...but after a while, it was wonderful :) Wonderful to see the lovely marine creatures..the colorful fishes swimming by...the 'hungry' fishes which nimbled our fingers thinking that they are bread!

the sea of people snorkeling with us...there were 7 boats seating about 50pax each! But amazingly, the sea is able to accomodate all of us without us bumping into each other much.

After a tiring day out, we had another round of bbq buffet dinner...

It was time to enjoy the lovely sunset and a round of drinks at the beach pub...

enjoying the live band and i was having 'Redang Island cocktail' and Daddy having '..on the Beach cocktail'...

Day 2
We started the day with a good breakfast, and we head out to Marine Park. It is a very nice beach..but amazingly, the waters are filled with as many beautiful marine fishes. I think i see some parrot fish too! So pretty!

At 3pm, we headed out to the deep blue sea @ Pasir Akar...for another round of snorkeling!

There was nothing much to do at night, except we went for a foot massage, a round of drinks at the beach pub with live band, shopping at the sourvenir shop again...but that night, i saw a shooting star in the clear dark sky!

the famous More More Tea Inn..

I will forward to the day when i can come back to this beautiful island with all my darlings...this time..
