KK - DAY 3

Making our way to the best day ever ;) where Manukan and Sapi Island have outshone themselves more than I have expected. We woke up much earlier than yesterday fearing we might missed out something again and hope to had all the fun we can before the weather started to be a bitch like every other evening.

The view along the way to the city is quite beautiful ;)



Hopped on another bus to Jesselton Point where they provide boat services to islands. They also provide other things such as snorkeling equipment, life jacket etc for additional RM10-RM20. There are a few companies offering the same package therefore it is very competitive between them. Thus, beware not to be cheated by them and make sure you compare the prices before you really pay for the island packaging you're going to.


After we paid for the package, we noticed that we don't even have any cash in the wallet, literally ZERO. We told them we have to get some cash before we depart. However, they had to leave on time and thus suggested that they will lend us RM100 and we'll pay them back later. We hesitated but eventually we had no choice but to take it. I just felt really insecure knowing that we don't have any money :(

The dock.



On our way to the island, the sea looks blue from far but actually there are quite a number of rubbish can be seen floating on the sea. Especially water bottles, so unethical.


We made a last minute hasty decision to go for snorkeling and we swam with those fishy fishy!
SUPERB FUN :D

Amazing view!

Reminds me of tangalooma.
every shit is reminding me of brissy.
FML.
The man who droves the boat.
He's a really nice guy.
He said to pay the snorkel equipment along with the money he borrowed us.
When we arrived back to the city, we returned him the money we borrowed earlier on, however we were still short of RM20 for the snorkel equipment.
Initially he said its okay he'll waive the fee for that but one of his friend over heard and insisted that he'll accompany us to the bank and take it from us. It was quite a distant to the bank and it was raining cats and dogs.
F*, i hate him! -_-

The island is really really beautiful.



You don't have to learn to swim to snorkel!
But generally i can swim :P

We went to another island- PULAU SAPI. Its something different where they have plenty of corals to see when you snorkel. Its freaking awesome! But be careful not to step on them as they are quite fragile and you might hurt yourself. The corals are under protection anyway. If tourists continue to ruin the corals, the might start banning people to snorkel in that island. Because what we heard was they used to have more corals last time, but in times, many of it were ruined.


We had their so-called famous bak kut teh in KK around 5 smth. It was raining so heavily that we decided to have early dinner and wait for the rain to subside then catch the bus back to the hotel and not coming out anymore.




It was quite delicious but not the best, i would say.


Thank you for the whole trip, bear. ;)
i had a superb time being with you!
