Aaaahhhh……
I miss the beach …
Went to Lang Tengah Islang with a group of friends last week. It was a great trip. The crystal clear waters, swimming with fishes, nice sandy beach and etc… It was really a great place for vacation. I personally think Lang Tengah is better than Redang Island. My other friends thought so too.
During the first day, our boat ride to the island was kinda bumpy at first due to huge waves but it was an exciting ride indeed. However, bad news awaits us at the island because most of the activities were cancelled during the first day due to bad weather. So basically we didn’t go out to the sea for any snorkeling trips. So we stayed in and have our own leisure, be it sleeping, playing mahjong, watching Asian Food Channel, eating and etc.
On second day, the jungle trekking trip was cancelled also due to heavy rain. So we opted to snorkel at the beach nearby and we manage to see lots of corals and fishes.
Weather started to look promising during noon time and we prepared for a round island trip before heading off to the Marine Park for more snorkeling trips. The guide took us round the island before stopping in the middle of the sea so that we can do some snorkeling.
The fishes are not shy and swim along with us. Saw some shy Nemo, and some other very colorful beach, sea cucumber, funny looking corals and etc.
We brought along some bread and feed them to the fishes. Kinda itchy when they came for the bread though.. Feels like going to a Fish Spa.. Hahaha
We had lots of fun feeding the fish hehehe.
The whole group of us looked like a bunch of underage kids looking and playing with these colorful fishes.
After that, we went to the Redang Marine Park for more snorkeling trips. There are more fishes here. But not as many coral compared to May last year. There were lots of people in the Marine Park snorkeling also. I went deep out into the water hoping to see more but there’s nothing much could be seen though…. Probably the corals migrated further out of the perimeter.
And so we went to the dock area where there are lots of fish hanging around that area. We brought along another packet of bread and fed them to the fish here and it was hell lots of fun watching the fish chewing off bits of the bread. We stayed at the Marine Park for around 1 hour or so and headed back to our resort.
The feeling of traveling on the boat was nice. The sea breeze and the wind blowing at us makes us feel so nice.
We continued on with more of our OWN entertainment, more swimming and camwhoring when we got back to our resort. Hahaha
Realising the sun is almost set and there were some nice view, I took the opportunity to take this shot. Kinda nice though.
It was approaching 7pm and we went for dinner and after that, I went off for a shower before excusing myself for the day.
The others were playing mahjong and card games till midnight. Hahaha….
Fun time flies very fast and the 3 days trip ended just like that. Hopefully will have more chances to revisit this place and hopefully the beach will be still clean and the nature is still preserved well.
All of us really looked forward to return to this place again next time.
Audrey : Thanks thanks...
